Toy Fair 2011 Mattel - Toys For Actual Kids!

Every year Mattel continues to impress with their line up toys for actual kids and 2011 is no different. We always look forward to going through Mattel's main showroom, the presenters are always fun and the products always surprise.

Cars this year is continuing witht he smaller die-cast metal cars but now have added working lights and sounds into the mix.

Toy Story continues to do strong for Mattel and they had a nice offering exapnding into a more of a space theme this year.

Big Rig Buddies are always fun and this year's entry is firetruck. Fart humor is still included.

Hot Wheels: Wall Tracks were a simple yet neat idea. Take the Hot Wheels stunt tracks and put them on the wall.

Dance & Play Puppy is more for the preschoolers but I know a little nephew that would love this guy.

Big Action is a new line for Mattel that combines radio control play and preschool toys into a fantastic package.

Zoo Talkers again is for the really young ones but a nice play-set nonetheless.

Rock Star Mickey is the follow up to last years Dance Star Mickey and is sure to be as big a hit as that one.

Imaginext is in my opinion one of the BEST toy lines out there for boys age 3 to 10 and with this years theme of Tech-Dinosaurs and an expanded Batman offering it is sure to continue to be popular. I know I'll be buying some of this stuff for my nephews.

Rescue Heroes was a line Mattel retired a few years ago but has decided to bring back. This time including bigger vehicles and some DC super heroes in the mix as well.
