Musical toy set to be a big hit
A doll that answers back, an unstoppable multi-terrain monster and an orange tiger that performs gymnastics to a backing track from 1990s hip-hop star MC Hammer are the toys Woolworths predicts will be the top Christmas sellers this year.

TheÂŁ69.99 Amazing Amanda - a 'virtually alive' baby doll that responds to its mother's voice and displays different emotions depending on the time of day or season - is likely to be high on Christmas lists for little girls, according to Woolies.

The retailer predicts that boys will hanker after Cyber Shocker, an 'action machine' priced atÂŁ79.99 that 'storms' over dirt, sand, snow and water - not to mention kitchen floors.

Disney's latest incarnation of Winnie the Pooh's Tigger character should be a hit with toddlers, said the retailer. Tumble Time Tigger, atÂŁ44.99, performs handstands and somersaults - each time to the tune of MC Hammer's classic You Can't Touch This.

Other top 10 predictions include Bratz Rock Angelz, Star Wars Light Sabre, Monopoly Here and Now and a Star WarsTrivial Pursuit DVD game.
