LONDON – 00.01am - 1st October 2020. As the countdown to Christmas begins, Amazon.co.uk reveals its top toys for 2020. Handpicked by a team of Amazon toy experts, this year’s top gifts take inspiration from cult TV, movie and video game characters, alongside popular characters of today, with the unboxing trend and tech-centric toys keeping children of all ages smiling.

This year, with families staying home and spending more time together, retro classics such as Barbie, Back to the Future and Super Mario are making a comeback on the ‘Top Toys’ list, alongside classics such as Star Wars and LEGO.

‘Star Wars’ continues to be amongst the top searched keywords for toys on Amazon.co.uk and kids cannot get enough of Disney’s series - Star Wars The Mandalorian. Star Wars The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport Starship has been picked to be a potential bestseller available exclusively on Amazon.co.uk. Whilst The Child Animatronic Edition “AKA Baby Yoda” takes the top spot for the most lovable character.

Children of all ages will be able to wake up on Christmas morning and capture the smiles on camera with the VTech's KidiZoom (red), a kid-friendly camera which includes video editing to encourage imagination and creativity. The HD camera comes with 20 virtual backgrounds, includes six fun games to ramp up the fun and is exclusively on Amazon.co.uk.

“We know Christmas is going to be a little different this year, and at Amazon, we are doing everything we can to bring the magic of the festive season to our customers”, said Naman Agarwal, Head of Vendor Management for Toys at Amazon.co.uk. “The joy of being with friends and family, in person or virtually, will be the greatest gift of all, and we’re predicting that the bestselling toys will be those that can bring people together. No matter the celebration, we are making a big effort to deliver smiles and make Christmas extra special.”
