A cool green action car that can shoot powder-filled capsules is among the toys most likely to fly off the shelves this Christmas, retailers said today.

Kevin Levin’s DX Action Cruiser, from the Ben 10 Alien Force by Bandai, is one of 12 toys highlighted by the Toy Retailers Association (TRA) as one of their Dream Dozen for 2009.

TRA chairman Gary Grant said the industry had “turned the latest trends into innovative and creative toys” for Christmas.

“The list also reveals a trend towards nostalgic characters and brands which have been updated with a modern twist,” he said.

“Consumers are reverting back to heritage brands which will last longer than the Christmas season.”

The Dream Dozen includes Monopoly City, a modern-take on the traditional boardgame, cute hamsters from Go Go Pets and a multimedia digital camera.

The TRA also compiled separate “dream dozen” lists for the girls’, boys’, pre-school, games, construction and creative categories.

Animals will dominate the girls’ wish-list, with the Go Go Pets Hamsters, Pony in My Pocket Pony Arena, FurReal Friends Lulu my Cuddlin’ Kitty and Fluffy goes Walkies all featuring in the top 12, the TRA said.

Animagic Peanut My Playful Pup, marketed as “the closest you can get to having your very own real-life puppy”, is also expected to be among the best-sellers.

Dolls are also expected to be popular, with relative newcomers such as Baby Annabell 2009, Sally Doll, and Cicciobello Love ’n’ Care going up against traditional favourites including Barbie & The Three Musketeers Corinne Doll and the Sylvanian Families.

For boys, fast cars and battle sets are expected to fly off the shelves as parents snap up the likes of the Ben 10 Alien Force cruiser, the GX Racers, which can be sent across tightropes to perform stunts, and the Battle Strikers starter set.

Star Wars and Transformers action figures are also expected to be key features of Christmas stockings this year.

For pre-school children, much-loved faces like Thomas the Tank Engine and Postman Pat will be as popular as ever, while the Waybuloo Peeka Lau Lau offers youngsters the chance to play peeka as if they were on the CBeebies programme.

The KidiZoom Multimedia Digital Cameras from VTech will appeal to budding photographers while the snoring Night Night Timmy is expected to be popular at bedtime.

Monopoly City, Jenga and Rubiks 360 are touted as potential best-sellers in the games category while Star Wars dominates the construction category with its Echo Base and Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter.

And for the budding creative-types, Doodle with Glo Doodle, a reusable glow-in-the-dark surface, and the Crayola Glo-Station will be among the must-have toys, as is the Let’s Cook Fruit Factory which enables children to turn fruit into juice, smoothies or ice cream.

:: Bakugan Battle Pack, Spin Master (RRP £19.99)

Keep your eye out for a possible 2012 release date!

BT says a report published by Ofcom into fixed-line broadband speeds among a range of internet service providers (ISPs) in the UK is “sadly out of date”.

BT consumer managing director John Petter said: “We have already begun moving customers across to our 21st century network which gives them massively faster speeds, even at peak times.

“In addition, we are making exciting progress in our trial for fibre to the cabinet – which will offer speeds far in excess of what Virgin media offers most of its customers today.”

He said BT also had concerns with the methodology of the study. The telecoms regulator says fewer than one in 10 of its sample of 8Mb/s headline packages received actual average speeds of over 6Mbit/s, while around one in five received, on average, less than 2Mbit/s.

“Ofcom’s report does not take into account how networks are laid out between exchanges and premises; penalises BT for providing broadband in areas that other ISPs avoid; is based on a tiny sample; and is at odds with independent research,” John said.

As many people as possible

He added: “BT Retail provides broadband to customers all over the UK in both urban and rural areas; many other ISPs do not or cannot do this.

“This means we have many customers who are a long way from the exchange and whose lines are at the limit of broadband service, with resulting lower average speeds. We provide as many people as possible with broadband at whatever speeds can be provided in difficult situations.”

He added: “Ofcom says that it has taken account of distance from exchanges ‘as the crow flies’. However, lines from exchanges do not run directly from exchanges to premises. They travel via connection points, making the actual length of lines much longer.

“This, coupled with a sample size of only 2,200, makes the report unrepresentative compared with those carried out by Epitiro – which much of the industry uses to gauge how systems are performing comparatively.

“Ironically, BT is shown to perform well in the eyes of customers in the aspects of the report that do not depend upon line length such as customer service, technical help and overall satisfaction.

“Ofcom’s report is also out of date because we are rolling out new broadband technology, ADSL2+, which provides much higher speeds. At the beginning of June BT announced that it will more than double broadband speeds later this year for its residential and business customers to up to 20Mb/s, at no extra cost, following a £1.5 billion investment in new technology.”
