HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Well I had to try and get in first.
It may only be the end of August, but the chips are already down for what will be THE toy of Christmas 2008. As for the last few years the consoles will be slugging in out between the Nintendo Wii and the Sony Playstation 3. But while those two continue the console war the current betting says that there will be a fierce fight between merchandise from two BBC programmes.
In the red corner we have the Teletubbies, and in the blue corner Dr. Who. Personally I think the Teletubbies have been and gone several years ago, so let's look at Dr. Who. The BBC have done an excellent job giving this long lived series a new lease of life, and they haven't missed out on the merchandise either. Over at Character-Online they have a wide range of goodies from Series 1, 2, 3 & 4. What particularly caught my eye are the voice changing heads, as one of the guys in the office had a Cyberman one which he'd bought for his kids. Kids be blowed, I think he'd bought it for himself! As well as the Cyberman head, there is also a traditional Dalek head, and a Dalek Sec head. These will undoubtedly be a terrifc hit this Christmas.............so don't forget to stock up batteries.
