The Hottest Toy This Year

In the 1960s children's imaginations were captured by Hasbro who produced a set of face parts that you could stick into any piece of fruit or vegetable that you fancied. The result Mr. Potato-head was born and became an instant success. Your goal is to use the research that you have done on this year's crop of toys and pick a winner. that means you need to decide which of these products is going to be the big hit as people start shopping for Christmas gifts for their children. To be more precise...which product is going to make the greatest profit for the company that makes it! You should consider things like price, uniqueness of the product, popularity of certain types of products, how common the product is and who it is being marketed toward. Use the following website links to help you make your prediction: http://www.parenting.com/gallery/toy-fair-2012?pnid=531885
