Designed for kids ages 3 to 8, the Berg Choppy features an adjustable steering column and seat and a compact size for easy storage. Kids will ride in style with the metallic orange and tribal designs.
JAZWARES
Marvel-licensed vehicles join Jazwares’ Lil’ Chuck & Friends Mini Vehicles line of 20 trucks for on-the-go fun. Chuck & Friends Talkin’ Spider-Man Vehicle is a talking vehicle featuring phrases and sounds from your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Kids simply press the Spider-Man logo to activate sounds, and watch as its eyes light up. Made out of soft, chunky plastic, this larger vehicle is perfect for safer play with little ones. Animal Jam, in association with National Geographic, is the No. 1 online social game for kids with more than 40 million registered players worldwide. Kids can jump into the world of Jamaa with a line of collectibles and play sets by Jazwares. Animal Jam characters—including Penguin, Bunny, Monkey, and more—will be available as collectible toys with matching accessories so kids can dress up, trade, and show off their favorite Animal Jam avatars and pets. A limited-edition Light Up Ring reveals a secret pattern on select characters. Kids will also be able to decorate the dens or have a dance party in the Club Geoz Ultimate Dance Party play set. The Weebles brand returns with a new line of unique friends who share similar values, learning the qualities of friendship together. All six Weebles friends feature a weighted round base and 3-D heads and arms. Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down. Kids can have them drive in their wobbly connecting cars and play in the Wobble Around Treehouse. Jazwares’ Peppa Pig toy collection features a range of preschool items, including plush, figures, toy vehicles, and play sets. Busy builders can create their own Peppa world with construction sets small and large, including a Treehouse set, Peppa’s House set, and more. Twenty-four blind bag figures designed to work with all construction sets will also be sold separately. Kids can squeeze the plush characters’ tummies for extra fun or collect Peppa and all her friends with fun themed accessories. Kids’ favorite digital stars on YouTube come to life in action figure form in the Tube Heroes DanTDM Diamond Dimension Pack. Part of the next wave of collectible Tube Heroes, the pack comes with a 2.75-inch posable action figure of DanTDM, his best buddy and scientist Dr. Trayaurus, a moving mine cart that fits both characters, and DanTDM’s arsenal of removable weapons. There are 18 Tube Heroes to collect this year.
