The toy experts over at about.com report that classic toys are still drawing solid interest this summer, despite all the hot action movies such as Batman, Indiana Jones, and the Incredible Hulk.
Moreover, several classic toys are celebrating their anniversaries this year, including:
Hasbro’s My Little Pony – 25th anniversary
“The Dark Knight” Toys
With the recent release of Batman: The Dark Knight breaking the record for opening weekend box office sales, it’s no surprise that the movie’s toys and collectibles are flying off of shelves across the country. The official toys are coming from Mattel, who has released a line of action figures, role-playing toys, vehicles, and playsets.
Some of the most popular toys are the Wayne Tech Mega Cape Accessory, a cape with a five foot wingspan that retracts into a back harness. The Shift Attack Sports Coupe comes with both Batman and Bruce Wayne figures, and the coupe turns into a missile-firing attack vehicle. And the Rapid Fire Utility Belt has a motorized blaster of foam missiles and also comes with a cape.
