Toys’R'Us has announced its 2008 Hot Toy list, all the toys its experts believe will top kids’ wish lists this holiday season. From the overall list, the “Fabulous 15″ were selected to represent the very best toys of the season.
But we can’t give them to you all at once. That would spoil the surprise.
So here are five, in alphabetical order. Next week, we’ll let you see the rest of what’s going to be under the tree.

50’s Diner from Step2
A retro-themed diner that transports them behind the grill at a local hot spot from the 1950s. This kitchen features everything needed to prepare an imaginary meal and serve customers - just like a real diner - including an oven, grill, dishes, silverware, cups, spatula, ice cream and more. There’s ample seating for customers at a retro-style tabletop with a working jukebox that plays three 50’s-style tunes. Ages 2 and up.

Bakubelt Action Kit from Spin Master
Bakugan Battle Brawlers is the latest craze among young boys, bringing a new component to trading card game play by adding plastic marbles (Bakugan Battle Brawlers) that “explode” to reveal mini-figures when they roll onto a metal Gate Card. Now, kids can prepare for battle with the Bakubelt Action Kit, featuring a Bakubelt, a Bakuclip that allows kids to reach for their Battle Brawlers without ever taking their eyes off the game, as well as other necessary battle gear. Ages 5 and up.

Circus Ring from Playmobil
Kids can join the circus without leaving home when they put together this deluxe set boasting more than 200 pieces. Featuring a circus ring, an adjustable big top tent, ticket booth, light-up arch, high wire, trapeze artists, ringmaster and much more. Ages 5 and up.

Classic Lights and Sounds Trike from Radio Flyer
A retro-inspired redesign of the classic tricycle, this three-wheeler with pink “mod” flair will let little fashionistas take a spin around the neighborhood to show off the trike’s flashy design and cool “Ms. Flyer” license plate. Touch-button blinkers show which direction they’re headed next. Ages 18 months to 3 years.

Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker from JAKKS Pacific
Now girls can design their own cupcakes. Children use the pre-measured spoon to add water to their favorite batter mix, stir, pour the mix into a cupcake cup, seal the creation in the microwaveable cupcake maker and cook - no baking involved. Place it on the cupcake froster and choose from one of four. Set comes with everything needed for four batches of cupcakes. Ages 8 and up.
