Top 50 Toys dissected

We’ve delved into the Toy Top 50 and riffled through a mountain of boys toys to highlight the hottest playtime trinkets money can buy.

Playtime doesn’t mean you have to lounge around on the sofa swearing at a games console – instead it should be lung-crushingly exhausting! It must be time to treat yourself. Go on, you know you want to!

Character Roboraptor
Best price: £59.99 on 4 April 2008
This dino droid makes those real Jurassic park monsters look as terrifying as fluffy bunnies… if you squint your eyes really hard. The Roboraptor is a fearsome toy, with scarily realistic body movements and mood swings worse than a hormonal teen. Nark it off and it will hunt you down, but get it on a good day and it be even play and interact with you. Its infrared sensors stop it from bashing into objects.

Rising star
Air League Air Hockey Table Air League Hyper Sport 8ft
Best price: £319.95 on 4 April 2008.
Don’t let your kid (or inner kid) hang out down the local arcade and pump their pocket money into the addictive Air Hockey game. Just ground them, or fork out on this eight foot table. This high velocity game will not only improve your stripling’s eye-hand co-ordination but keep them occupied for hours. Two powerful fans keep the puck hovering while a sensor-fitted electronic scoreboard puts a stop to any “it’s behind the goal-line” disputes.

Unsung hero
Hedstrom 10ft Trampoline Enclosure
Best price: £90 on 4 April 2008
Championing good ol’ fashioned fresh air and outdoor excitement, this giant Trampoline is the perfect games console antidote. It’s padded uprights and high netting enclosure means the little’uns can attempt double back flips and reach for the sky star jumps with parents safe in the knowledge it won’t result in a day trip to A&E.
