 Angry Birds Knock On Wood Game | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:43

Mattel has taken the popular online game Angry Birds and turned it into an offline skill-and-action game. The Angry Birds Knock On Wood Game is a tabletop game that plays pretty much like the popular smartphone app. The pigs have stolen the birds' eggs, and the object is to destroy the structures where the pigs are hiding. But with Knock On Wood, one player draws a mission card and builds the structure shown. The mission card also lists what birds to use to shoot down the structure. Using the guidelines on the mission card, another player loads the required Angry Birds onto the launcher and catapults them to knock down structures and pigs and earn points. The first person to 1,000 points wins.

The blasters require one AAA battery, which is not included.

 Pinkalicious Dolls | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:21

Many young girls have been inspired and entertained by Pinkalicious since the first book in the series was published in 2006. The story of a girl who likes the color pink and cupcakes comes to life through a variety of toys from Jakks Pacific that portray key moments from the books. Inspired by the third book in the series, Goldilicious, the 12-inch Pinkalicious Small Soft Doll wears a pink medieval dress as featured in the book.

 Moon Dough Magic Zoo | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:52

Magic Zoo is the latest playset in the Moon Dough line of products. Now kids can use Moon Dough, the moldable dough that never dries out, to create zoo animals. First, place one of the included Winder Walkers figures (a figure with a wind-up mechanism) into the zoo gate. Then stuff one of the molds with Moon Dough. Lock the mold into the zoo gate. Turn the handle and the mold drops down on top of the figure. When it is ready, kids will hear a pop and the mold will open to reveal a Moon Dough animal all wound up and walking around. The set comes with three animal molds (penguin, bear, and gorilla), three packages of colored moon dough, two Winder Walkers, a sticker sheet, a fence mold, and a Magic Cage that holds the molds in place.

 Hot Wheels Speed & Splash Duel | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:37

Make bath time fun with the Hot Wheels Speed & Splash Duel. The playset uses suction cups to stick to the bathtub wall so kids can easily embark on a wild water race. Use the included cup to fill the starting gate with water to begin the race. Then send two cars down the track and watch as they jump from one track to the other. This multi-level racetrack features trap doors that dunk the slower car into the tub. The playset comes with one Hot Wheels vehicle and a tire target.

 Disney Singing Princesses | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:46

The Disney princesses are singing their way into homes through a new doll line from Disney. The Singing Princess doll line includes favorite princesses, such as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, that sing a song when their right hand is pressed. The voices are either the original actors from the movies or sound very similar. Each 16.5-inch doll has articulated arms and legs (the arms bend at the elbow and the legs bend at the knee).

 Hot Wheels 4-Lane Elimination Race | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:42

Find out which of your Hot Wheels cars is the fastest with the Hot Wheels 4-Lane Elimination Race playset. This cool new track allows kids to race four cars at once—but only one car will make it through the finish line. As the cars race down the track, three of them will be eliminated until there is only one car left. The track merges from four lanes to two and then down to one. The faster cars pass over triggers in the track that pop up and knock off the slower cars. The track is easy to put together and it folds up for easy storage and transport. It includes one Hot Wheels vehicle.

 Little Mommy Wipey Dipey | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:44

With Little Mommy Wipey Dipey, girls can "feed" their baby doll and then check what's in the doll's diaper. After drinking from her bottle, the doll will use her plastic diaper in an innovative way—with lights. That means no water and no mess. Girls simply clean the baby's diaper using the wipe provided. The doll makes lots of silly sounds and phrases (such as "bye bye, pee pee") to complement the play. Wipey Dipey comes with a wipe and bottle. An African-American version of the doll is also available.

 Polly Pocket Ice Cream Water Park | File Type: video/mov | Duration: 00:00:46

Slide into sweet fun with the Polly Pocket Ice Cream Water Park. There's a lot of action for girls in this candy-inspired playset. Put Polly at the top of the sundae seat, then use the slushie shooter to send a stream of water to the dunk tank trigger and watch Polly splash down into the main pool. Girls can glide Polly down the slide to meet up with her Cutant Oinkberry. (For those of you who haven't been following every Polly permuation, "Cutants" — aka "Cute Mutants" — are the small pets that have accompanied Polly for the past year or so. Every Polly has one.) Oinkberry can be launched from the diving board to land in the lollipop seat. Polly's hair also has a color-change feature: her hair turns from bright candy blue to purple with water. The playset includes two pools, a diving board, a candy swing, a dunk tank, a slide, a Polly figure, a Cutant, and accessories.
