NJ-based Toys 'R' Us releases hot toy list

It’s getting closer to the holiday season, so New Jersey-based Toys 'R' Us has released its list of the toys it expects to be hot this year. Using the name of its iconic mascot, Geoffrey (he’s the giraffe), the list is heavy on tv-based toys, including the Child from The Mandalorian and perennial favorite Blue from Blue’s Clues.

The resuscitated Toys 'R' Us brand opened its first retail store at the Garden State Plaza last year; it has since opened a location in Houston, TX. Its parent company is now Tru Kids.
