Bluey, the Australian blue heeler puppy cartoon character is predicted to be the most sought-after toy in the UK this Christmas.
The Stg80 ($A165) Bluey celebration home mega bundle, based on the wildly popular Australian cartoon series, is tipped to be the number one bestseller this Christmas for pre-school-aged children, major British online retailer Argos said.
The list of the expected 20 best-selling toys this festive season also includes the Stg10 ($A20) Gui Gui single pack, a “blind box” packed with colourful, scented slime and collectable charms.
The retailer said toys that bring TV and movie characters to life will dominate this year’s list.
Aside from Bluey, the Stg65 ($A134) Gabby’s International Movie Dollhouse, for fans of the Netflix show about a girl who wears cat ears and is known for catchphrases such as “miaow-mazing”, “pawesome!”, “ab-so-cat-a-loutely” and “hug attack!”, is also expected to be a popular choice with a film release scheduled for October.
