Hamleys reveals top 10 toys for Xmas including Barbie, Luvabella and Hatchimals

INTERACTIVE robots and tech toys are set to dominate your children's Christmas letters this year, according to Hamleys.

The toy store revealed its highly regarded annual prediction of the must-have toys for this holiday season.

Prices for the hotly tipped toys range between £21 to and eye-watering £135.

Victoria Kay, from Hamleys said: “We’ve seen a lot of tech for tech’s sake in the past few years with app extensions, but now, whether it’s a plush or a more sophisticated LEGO build, they are getting smarter in how kids can personalise and programme them.”

Here are Hamleys top toys for Christmas 2017:

FurReal Buzz Pet – Tyler the Playful Tiger - £135

Top of the list is Tyler the playful tiger - a cute little cub which responds to petting and talking in over hundred different ways.

Pet his head and his eyes might close, pet him on his muzzle and he moves.

The toy is pretty much the robotic alternative to a cat but comes with a hefty price tag of £135.

It is suitable for any child aged four or more.

Fisherprice Dance & Move Beatbo £33

Predicted to be a hit amongst younger kids is the Fisher Price Dance & Move Beatbo, selling for £33.

The toy will teach toddlers songs and dance moves at the touch of a button.

He will introduce baby to letters, colours, numbers and much more.

Suitable for all kids above two.

LEGO BB-8 - £85

Movie themed robotics also storm into the list with the Lego BB-8, inspired by the Star Wars movie.

The robot cost a hefty £85.

It is suitable for all children above ten years-old.

The Barbie DreamHorse - £90

Barbie is making a comeback with her DreamHorse which reacts to touch and features more than 30 realistic reactions.

The horse can also nod yes or no when you ask a question, play three different songs and show off with three different dances.

Your kids' Barbie will be able to sit on the saddle using a waist clip -  but the interactive animal alone will cost you £90.

Still it might be worth the investment as we recently reported your old Barbie collection could now be worth £580.

Nerf Nitro Longshot - £22

A good option for bargain price hunters, the very popular Nerf Gun is back with a £22 Nitro Long version.

The new toy allows children to design long-distance jumping challenges with the long-jump ramp and obstacles.

The pack includes blaster, long-jump ramp, two foam cars with plastic wheels, four obstacles, and instructions.

It is suitable for all children aged five or more.

Power Rangers - £60

Another option set to be popular with superhero fans is the ultimate villain, Megazord from the Power Ranger's film, which can be bought as an interactive figurine.

The toy has eight features including: expandable wings, cannon and sword, battle and flight sounds, lights in the head and feet for enhanced realism, a light-up “Morphin Grid,” and five individual cockpits for each included ranger figure.

It is suitable for kids aged four and more.

Luvabella Toy - £100

The interactive Luveball toy was also featured on Argos must-have toy list for this Christmas.

It is manufactured by Spin Master - the company behind last year's festive season sell-out, Hatchimals.

The doll responds to affection, falls asleep, giggles and talks.

But some parents previously pointed out that Luvabella  has a spooky resemblance to Chucky, the horror film character.

Hatchimals – Egg Surprise - £75

Previously dubbed the real-life Tamagotchi, this mysterious egg literally hatches on its own into an interactive toy.

The toy has proved so popular last year that retailers ran out of stock.

The latest version which cost £75 comes with a pair of twin Hatchimals.

Each creature will have its own personality and they can also interact with each other.

Kids can raise them from baby to toddler to kid and they'll learn new things at each stage - for £75.

PJM Headquarters Playset - £50

Inspired by the hit TV show PJ Masks, this double-sided playset is over 2 feet tall and has three action packed, character themed.

Your kids can choose their mission, activate phrases from your favourite heroes and sing along to the theme song.

It is suitable fir children aged two or more.

Get a Grip - £21

Get A Grip, is a family game which challenges kids and adults to perform a series of increasingly difficult tasks without using their thumbs.

First, players wrap their thumbs in the included hand bands so that they can't use them.

Then a player picks a card that will tell them to Draw it, Sculpt it, or Do it - all without the use of these important body parts

The game is the cheapest item on the list and it might be a good way to get your kid to drop their iPhones.
