Get Dance Star Mickey Quick Before It’s Too Late – Hot Christmas Toys 2010
If your toddler could go shopping himself, he would probably pick the Disney Dance Star Mickey for the cute factor alone. Young kids love music but when you combine it into an interactive doll that resembles a favorite character like Mickey they go nuts for it. The recommended age range is 3 plus years although the manufacturer suggests ages 18 months to 6 years. However, due to some potential choking hazards with the doll, you might want to go with the recommended 3 years and older.
The doll weighs in at 3.5 lbs and is 16 inches high meaning your child can easily carry him around and enjoy his company. He looks just like you would expect Mickey Mouse to look with his big black ears, huge grin, yellow shoes and, of course, his Mickey monogrammed sweater.
This toy was only released on October 5th and the kids in Toys ‘R Us were crazy for it. Thankfully, in most stores, this interactive doll comes with the 6 AA batteries it needs to power its way through six different songs. To be on the safe side you should check and get batteries if needed.
You may want to buy an additional supply of batteries as it is hard to imagine any child or even adult turning this toy off. He not only dances but also walks and talks. And he even does the Moonwalk should you have any Michael Jackson fans in the house. There are also two interactive games which your kids will just love playing with Mickey.
The only downside with this toy, apart from the fact it will be difficult to clean, is the fact it is going to be so popular this Christmas. You can see that plenty of kids are going to be disappointed. In fact, you can almost predict the number of parents who will end up spending a fortune trying to secure a Disney Dance Star doll on EBay or via Craigslist when Amazon, Toys ‘R Us, and other retailers run out of stock. That’s just a hint to get one as soon as possible!
If your kids loved Tickle Me Elmo, they are going to go mad for this Disney Dance Star Mickey. It is not only the kids that will want these. If you or anyone you know has been collecting Disney Mickey Mouse dolls, this is sure to be one they won’t want to miss. So what exactly does it do?
Mickey gives instructions on how to dance the Mambo shouting out to hold your hands up and here we go as he moves to the beat. He then sings along as he dances. This is sure to keep your kids on their feet dancing for hours. What a good way to use up all that energy.
If you are not into dancing, you might like the Mickey says game. If you have ever played “Simon Says” then you get the picture. But Dance Star Mickey is much cuter. You can change the song choice easily enough just by pressing his hand.
In addition the Mambo, Moon dance and Mickey Says, Disney Dance Star Mickey also does a little bit of Disco with his “go Mickey” techno moves. He also raps along to his name and if that wasn’t enough he has a couple of cool freeze moves, too. You can see kids giggling with glee this Christmas never mind the one or two adults who won’t be able to keep their feet from tapping along.

A Somewhat Interactive Doll that Is Sure to Bring Lots of Fun
One of the hottest toys this Christmas is the Fisher Price Sing-A-Ma-Jigs. Although not quite the interactive doll you would be expecting, any one of the four models will bring lots of fun to your family. Kids love them and, if possible, adults even love them more. Don’t get just one either. They are a lot more fun in a group.
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs come in a variety of colors and types. 
You will be able to get a different color for every child in the family and the adults, too. Some available colors are pink, blue, yellow, orange, light blue, red, and more. In fact, you can purchase them in groups like the Sing-A-Ma-Jig Set of 4 in blue, red, pink and yellow which might be a better buy if you are smart of enough to get one for everyone in the family.
These somewhat interactive dolls talk. While you can understand some words, most of it will be gibberish. This is done in chatter mode which you get by squeezing their tummies. And that is what it is, lots of chatter.
But, as the name implies, what they really do is sing. When you squeeze the button on the “hand”, your Sing-A-Ma-Jig will start to sing. They open their little mouths and you can see their little teeth and tongues. They even move their mouths.
One singing Sing-A-Ma-Jig is fun, but add more and they begin harmonizing. It is really cool! What this means is you will want to buy more than one for your family. In fact, they would make great novelty gifts for co-workers at the office. Just think of the craziness as all the Sing-A-Ma-Jigs started to sing and harmonize.
Don’t be left out this Christmas as this is a hot toy! Be sure to order yours as soon as possible. Just think of the fun as all the kids (and grown-up kids, too) open their Sing-A-Ma-Jigs and start harmonizing on Christmas morning.
