Hongqiao Tianle Toy Market is ready for the busiest period in each year—from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. As a month for preparation, November is somewhat stagnant when compared with the coming holidays.

      Since last month, plush toys are picking up some speed in sales and are in full supply in this month. Twelve Animals, the Chinese symbol for years, is always an evergreen theme. Mouse does not frighten young girls here, instead, a cartoon-style mouse will be huggable.   Designers give rein to their imagination. Now plush mouse toys are much more than pig toys last year.

     Barbie dolls see new members: Barbie as The Island Princess. The line includes two Rosella dolls, a prince, and three little Rosella on elephants. All these come out of the fairy tale animation that lately available in market. Supported by TV commercials, the new lines would become new favorite for girls.

      Besides the above highlights, R/C airplanes and wooden toys run in a mild way. Transformers series still have its market, but price has been declined and consumers are always fans for the animation. Scooter is popular for its agility. When it comes to December, holiday brisk will bring in a flourishing market. █
