Mattel is releasing yet another new Barbie, just in time for that "Black Friday" even too. This Barbie is a "Goth Barbie" which I can see a big hit for many pre-teens and teens. I mean she’ll be THE thing this year.
The Goth Barbie is wearing a black and red corset and fingerless gloves, of course she has black hair and ivory colored skin with dark lipstick. Now she isn’t just any Barbie doll, she’s one for collectors so she cost around $70. She comes with her very own guitar, fishnet stockings, silver jewelry and a beautiful box.

Workers that were laid off from a toy factory in China decided to raid it on Tuesday night, leaving a vehicle turned over in their wake. A total of 500 individuals stormed the place breaking windows, computers, cars, anything they could get their hands on to show how upset they were about losing their jobs.
1000 police officers were at the scene trying to break up the crowd, finally everyone went home. But not before they made sure it would be too hard to work at. Employees, errr ex-employees were upset that they’d been replaced so early.
It seems that China is feeling the tightening of the economy.

It all started with a toy, two woman began arguing over it and their men started in on one another. Suddenly one showed his gun and shots rang out. After what would seem like an eternity, the gunfire ended and the two men lay on the ground in front of the store…dead.
Toys R Us has issued a statement:
"Our understanding is that this act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to associate the events of today with Black Friday," the statement said.
I agree, I don’t think this was a result of Black Friday or Toys R Us. These two guys came with guns, they knew each other and they killed one another.

Another toy recall, this one is for a Nerf Recon Blaster, I’m sure some of you have this one at home. But it seems the plunger in the back can hurt a child. There have been 46 injuries of children since the release of this gun. The gun sales for around $20 at most of your discount stores that sell toys and sold between November 2007-2008.
This recall involves the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Blasters for children age 6 and up. The toy blaster is yellow with a black handle and orange plunger, trigger, and reload clip. The word “NERF” in black lettering is on both sides of the blaster and the word “ARMED” is indented on the orange plunger. “RECON CS-6” is on the gray cocking mechanism. There are five interchangeable parts including the shoulder stock, the flip-up sight, barrel extension, quick re-load clip and dual-mode light beam. Model number 63552 and UPC codes 653569272021 and 653569311218 can be found on the packaging. Only blasters with an exposed orange plunger are included in this recall.
For more information, contact Hasbro toll-free at (800) 245-0910 anytime or visit the firm’s Web site at www.hasbro.com/nerf
Hopefully if you have this gun you aren’t one that’s had to call to report an issue.

Okay, as the big day draws closer more and more of you are going to be searching for those really hot lists of toys for 2008 so I’m getting those prepared and I’m going to do it from as many companies that I can so you can see a large variety. Sure you’ll get the HOT toy list that everyone in the world sees, but I’m also going to show you the NEW toys that came out this year that haven’t had a chance to be noticed before the "HOT LIST" was made.
I’ll bring you lists from toy companies like HASBRO, Vtech, etc and of course toy sites like Amazon, Toys R US, KB and more. Each place has a different set of 10 or 15 they’d like to share with you. You’ll be notified, here on this blog, about toy sales and deals that might interest you. If I can I’ll try getting interviews with toy makers/companies, etc. I’ll also bring you reviews of some that I actually have around here or that were sent to me to try out. I’ll let ya know if they break or stand up to my four kids.
The holidays is a time that is suppose to be enjoyed, so lets not worry about those toys anymore. Ready to play?

A few of you have dropped me an email in regards to the picture I used for the Cloverfield toy. I’m very sorry at the time of the article I could NOT find a picture of the toy, there was only speculation of what it would look like. The picture above is the actual toy that is made by Hasbro. Does anyone have it?
