Pokémon, Monster High, and LEGO Make the List for TOTY 2023 

The Toy of the Year Awards are here with some of the best items of 2023 with Pokémon, dolls, and more hit collectibles

The Toy the Year Awards for 2023 counties as finalists over a nice set of categories are being revealed. One of which is the Collectible of the Year, as that product is classified as a toy that is in a set that can be collected in multiples. This year's list is pretty tough, with three very popular lines that were very big throughout the year, and all are completely different fandoms. Whether your catching the Pocket Monsters from Pokémon, adding some horror flair, playing with the return of Furby, or just love Disney, this is the list for you. The finalists for the Collectible of the Year consist of: 

• Bitzee by Spin Master

  • "Bitzee is an interactive pet you can really touch that responds to swipes, tilts, and shakes with sounds and reactions. With kids' love and care, Bitzee will start as a baby puppy and evolve into an adult, then a Super Bitzee. Kids can unlock each Super Bitzee pet and discover unique outfits and games, then use an unlocked treat to attract the next virtual animal. There are 15 Bitzee pets to collect in each pod."

There are three really big contenders this year Monster High, LEGO Disney Minifigures, and Pokemon Squishmallows. All three sold out very fast and were on many collector's lists to track down. However, the Pokemon Sqishmallows seemed to be on a whole new level, and with the arrival of Snorlax and Togepi, the fun only continued. Collectors will be able to cast their vote for Collectible of the Year right here. The results of these Toy of the Year finalists will be revealed at the Toy of the Year 2023 Awards in New York City on September 29. The big finalist for Toy of the Year will be awarded on November 20, just in time for the fans to grab on this holiday.
