It's definitely not hot here on the East Coast. We got nearly a foot of snow last weekend, and got another couple inches dropped on us during the day today. Sure is pretty though.
Hot toys are a different story.
To everybody's surprise, except for my better half, Meow-Chi from Tiger Electronics was one of the hot toy surprises for the holiday season. The Simpsons figures continue to be hot, and look for them to be even hotter as the next waves of figures are launched in the new year. Smithers and Mr. Burns continue to be hard to find, with most stores lousy with Bart and Homer figures. I predict the Krustylu Studios playset will be a tough find when it comes out in the first quarter of 2001, thanks to the presence of that rascally Sideshow Bob. Reissues will be a hot topic this year, too.
