Nicole Patzer:
Last year we had Hokey Pokey Elmo, and this year we have E-L-M-O. So, if you haven’t seen him, he does, like the YMCA, he does (sung) E - L - M - O.

Toy expert Nicole Patzer from “Toys R Us” says, for older kids, “plug and play” games are very popular.

And they actually, some are very classic - where they’ll have Pac-Man, and, basically, it’s just a joy stick. And, you plug it right into your TV, and you can just start playing the old Pac-Man arcade games.

But, we also have some updated ones. I mean, we have Sponge Bob. And, also on that classic content, we have an update of the game Operation. We have “Operation Shrek,” and what’s cool about him is, he has things instead of just, you know, the hip bone and the elbow. He has earwax and onion breath that you have to get out. So, he’s really fun.

Some classic toys are popular this Christmas and every Christmas.

What’s back this year is Cabbage Patch Kids, Rainbow Bright... You know, Barbie is always popular. This year’s Princess and the Pauper. Like we said, we have an updated Operation. There is updated Twister, Strawberry Shortcake... You know the classics are still very popular.
