Santa’s most important question to kids, “were you naughty or
nice,” doesn’t really matter this year because Walmart, the
nation’s largest toy store, knows what kids will be asking Santa.
For the fifth consecutive year, the retailer enlisted hundreds of
kids ranging from 18 months to 12 years old nationwide to determine
which toys will be the hottest and most asked for this holiday
season.
“We are gearing up for the season by starting with what matters
most to kids – toys!” said Anne Marie Kehoe, vice president of toys
at Walmart U.S. “We’re really excited that Real Workin’ Buddies Mr.
Dusty made our top toy list this year and know it will be a hit
with our customers.”
“The toy has been an instant favorite with preschool and
pre-cool kids around the world since we launched it a couple of
months ago,” said Michael Bernstein, SVP Marketing at JAKKS
Pacific. “They love to watch Dusty drive over and magically ‘eat’
their small toys, and parents love it too since it encourages kids
to clean up their toys when they are done playing.”
Real Workin’ Buddies™ Mr. Dusty is three vehicles in one:
garbage truck, street sweeper and dump truck; it works on both
carpet and hardwood floors, and has more than 50 fun sounds and
phrases. Primarily targeted to kids ages three and older, Real
Workin’ Buddies™ Mr. Dusty retails for $39.99 and requires four AA
batteries.
