Year 2009 is a great year for kids.  A popular trend in toys and games this year is old classics coming back in a new form.  Probably the most noteworthy example of this is the release of the two movies: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.  Both of these movies are doing well at the box office and for their specific target audience which is kids.

As you can imagine toy manufacters have been primed to take advantage of these movies with new action figures and other merchandise.  Here, we will take a look at a couple of examples of what is available this year as well look at some other cool toys aimed at this age group.

Transformers Constructicon Devastator

First, on our list is the Transformers Constructicon Devastator.  This character has long been a favorite of those who follow transformers and everyone will be happy to see it takes a center stage role in the new transformers movie.  Here, we have listed its toy counterpart that boasts 5 individual robots that can transform into one super robot.  This special selling point will help drive this popular toy’s sales since most kids just think this is really cool.

As an older fan, I can’t really blame them either since I grew up on these toys and thought this Transformers Constructicon Devastator toy was awesome as a kid and am really impressed with the new version.  Check it out!

GI Joe Movie Pit Mobile HQ

The GI Joe Movie Pit Mobile HQ is exactly the type of toy I dreamed about as a kid.  This one offers a large command center that is rugged enough to handle children’s play and can hold all their GI Joe action figures.

Here, the GI Joe Movie Pit Mobile HQ comes complete with all kinds of cool little features like an elevator, breakable wall, some big guns, and even foot holds for all the GI Joe characters your boy has.  No doubt, any child would have a blast with this one if they have even a passing interest in the movie.  However, test screenings and early showings of the new movie show that kids everywhere love the new movie and so you can bet they will love this toy too.

Now, we will take a look at some other interesting offerings for this age grouping:

Tumbles My Roll Over Pup

Tumbles My Roll Over Pup Beagle is a toy from Fur Real Friends® that follows up on their popular trend of great stuffed animals.  One of the unique things about the Fur Real Friends line is that their products have sensors in them that trigger certain responses that are unique to the type of example.  These features endear their products to kids and are why their toys are always best sellers.

The Tumbles My Roll Over Pup should also be a hot item this year when children get to see this dog do its roll over trick and some of its other features.  This wonder beagle will be sure to win your sons and daughter’s hearts and also make you happy to know this one does not have to be potty trained.  A grand gift idea for birthdays or the holidays that should be on anyone’s list for best gift and toy ideas for 4 to 6 year olds.

Jungle Safari Design Studio

Now, the Jungle Safari Design Studio is a clever new product that gives kids a chance to make their own stuffed animals.  This one takes simple arts and crafts to a whole new level by marrying it with computer technology.  Here, kids use a basic home computer to design and print out these cute stuffed animals.  What is so great about this product is it minimizes issues like clean-up and risk of spilling supplies and maximizes the creativity aspect.  Here, kids are given all kinds of options in how to personalize and customize their stuffed animal.  You can imagine your kids will come up with some wonderful designs that will impress you.  A great gift idea for young girls, but a little secret is that young boys like this too.

Pictureka Flipper

The Pictureka Flipper is a spectacular advancement on the popular original that came out last year.  This one offers all the benefits of the first one, but “super sizes” things by giving people a mechanical Penguin to contend with.  Depending on what point you are in the game and whether it is your turn, this penguin could be your friend or foe.  Either way, it adds another level of fun to an already impressive game.

The Pictureka Flipper will be one of the most popular board games this year.  Don’t be surprised to see this one turn up at party game nights across the country.  In fact, if you are looking for a great gift for someone’s family, this is a good choice as just about everyone can play it and enjoy the experience.
