Every weekday leading up to Christmas Jim & Kim will be previewing a new toy for our 12 Days of Toys. And by ‘previewing’ we mean, incessantly playing with them until Producer Craig tells them to stop!

What better way to gear up for the holiday season than showcasing the hottest toys of the year? Be sure to watch out for these items during your holiday shopping, you don’t want to miss them!

Jim & Kim teamed up with Christopher Byrne, director of content for Time To Play. During his career, Chris has held a variety of positions with toy companies covering marketing, media, operations, product development and creative.

He helped Jim & Kim understand just how and why these toys will be the best of the season!

Today’s toy is the Skylanders Giants Starter Pack!

Acitivision| Ages 10+| $74.99

Last year Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure was the  number one kids video game. The Skylanders are back with the next generation of characters – the Giants.

“These are toys that store data in them. You put them into the portal of power and that data goes into the game. Then I could go over to your house and put my figure in your portal and the data is still there,” said Byrne.

The starter pack is compatible with Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo WII, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
