Fur Real Go Go Pup trots along with its remote-controlled leash to take the much-coveted position, just ahead of the Buzz Lightyear action figure, straight from this year’s box office smash, Toy Story 3.

At no. 3, the fully automated Nerf N-strike Stampede is certain to blow all the competition away with its extended 18 dart clip and will have boys (big and small) ready for an all-out assault.

Despite technological advances, this year’s Smyths Top 10 Toys has taken a turn for the traditional overall with revamped classics featuring strongly. Girls continue to love their dollies and will delight in Baby Alive Bouncin’ Babbles, who bounces up and down, gurgles and laughs like a real infant might in a crib. While families will be thrilled to see Monopoly, featuring once again in the top 10, this time in the shape of Monopoly Revolution, complete with a funky circular board, music and sound effects.

“With each generation comes new crazes and regardless of technological leaps, every toy has a foundation in a simple, trusted and much-loved premise - play. Dolls, board games, toy guns, trucks and action figures all feature in this year’s list and we’re confident that there will be something new and exciting for all the family this year,” said Stephen Tymlin, Smyths Toys.
