Biggest holiday toy hits of 2011?

The Toy Retailers Association has released its list of toys expected to be in highest demand during this holiday buying season. First, a look back. In 2010, the association said that the following would be the biggest holiday gift sellers:

Lego City Airport, Fireman Sam Deluxe Fire Station Playset, Hasbro's FurReal Go Go Walking Pup, Mattel's Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear, Kidizoom VideoCam, Monopoly Revolution, Moon Dough Barn, Nerf N Strike Stampede, Paper Jamz Guitar, ‘Pumpaloons’ – action game, Sylvanian Families Motorcycle and Sidecar, and ZhuZhu Grooming Salon.

In 2011, the association predicts that these toys will top holiday gift lists:


Doggie Doo (above), Fijit Friends, Fireman Sam Pontypandy Rescue Set, Kidizoom Twist, LeapPad Explorer, Let's Rock Elmo, Milky the Bunny, Monster High Lagoona's Hydration Station, Moshling Tree House, Nerf Vortex Nitron Blaster, Ninjago Fire Temple from Lego, and the Star Wars Ultimate Force Tech Lightsaber Assortment.

After the announcement, the Toronto Star's headline read: Is a pooping dog this year's hottest Christmas toy?

My question exactly. We'll know the answer before long.
