Don’t know what to put on your Christmas list? Our annual guide is here to help...
FIRST UP Season’s playthings… 01 DROP-DOWN WOODY RRP £79.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
Say “Someone’s coming!” and the cowboy hits the deck like he’s been on the eggnog since noon. Say “No one’s here” and he’s awake like a kid at 4am on Christmas morning. Pull his string and he goes full Hanks. Also available: collapsing Buzz Lighthead, sorry, Lightyear.
02 ULTIMATE WALKING BUZZ RRP £34.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
This isn’t your daddy’s Buzz; that one merely talked, lit up and sprouted wings. This one also walks forward, backward and has a secret, special move… it’s the flamenco from TS3, isn’t it? Please say it’s the flamenco.
03 STAR WARS SCREAM SABER RRP £27.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
Features three audio options: your regular zhoomzhoom lightsaber sound; noises from around the SW galaxy (from screaming TIE Fighter to screaming Porg); and raddest of all, a button that lets you record your own FX. Bleep like BB-8! Rasp like Vader! Fart like Dad!
05 FUNKOVERSE STRATEGY GAME RRP £39.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
Comes in four flavours: DC, Harry Potter, Rick & Morty and The
Golden Girls. If you win, try not to get big-headed…
06 STAR WARS LEGO RRP VARIOUS | VARIOUS RETAILERS
Seriously, Santa, if you don’t bring us a (virtually life-size) Yoda we’ll be all “Dagobah humbug!”

Definitely a better option than poaching a spork from KFC.
08 HATCHING TOOTHLESS RRP £59.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
How to birth your dragon… comes with his own fish accessory, so that’s one less Christmas lunch to worry about.
09 FROZEN 2 ARENDELLE CASTLE RRP £159.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
Measures a whopping 5ft x 4ft; if you run out of sofabeds for guests, they could always bunk down here.

Three decks, 216 pieces: and when you’re done, you can use it to store all your bits, bobs and Horcruxes.
11 ULTIMATE D-O RRP £139.99 | VARIOUS RETAILERS
App-controlled version of Episode IX’s rising star. At ease, Weebles fans: with its self-balancing wheel, D-O wobbles but it won’t fall down.

Choose between Lightspeed Pilsner or Galactic Pale Ale; we’ll need to see some identification…

“You’ve got an end in me...” Um, you know what we mean.

Need to buy for a horror fan with a flat battery? This should float their boat.
