Bring Mario out of the small screen and into your living room with LEGO Mario

The Barbie Fresh ‘n’ Fun Food Truck is serving up fun
This vibrant doll playset gives Barbie a bit more variety than classic outfits and accessories. Now, Barbie and her friends can chow down on deliciously sculpted meals that scale with each figure.
Bring Baby Yoda home!
You knew this was coming. The breakout star of Disney’s “The Mandalorian” is now available in cuddly toy form with real moving facial expressions and ears. He even makes noises when you pat his head! Just don’t let any stormtroopers find him.
The Squeakee Balloon Dog is a pet like no other
Robot dogs will always have trouble finding a balance between cute and creepy — but Squeakee managed to find a way! This interactive pet responds to your voice, and he can even deflate with the included pin accessory (don’t worry, he inflates right back to life again).
