1:12Now PlayingThese are the top toys predicted by UK Toy Retailers' Association experts to be best-sellers this Christmas.
The top toys are selected by a panel of retailers and experts and it's a predictive list of what's expected to be popular.
Among them are these bum-shaking Llamas, formerly known as Bobbi the Booty Shakin' Llama.'
Self-proclaimed toyologist (toy expert) Peter Jenkinson hopes their funny dancing will appeal to all ages.
"This is going to make Auntie Mabel laugh and spill her sherry, it's going to make a two-year-old giggle and everybody in between will just smile when they see it dance," he says.
It costs £24.99 and plays and dances to three different songs.
Boppi's popularity is part of a growing trend for soft pet toys which teach children to care for real animals and pets.
For example, Rizmo is an evolving toy - it starts out as a tightly-curled ball but slowly morphs in to a fully-formed creature with striking fangs.
The more you interact with Rizmo the further it evolves, and every stage of its evolution has specific games for children to play.
Eventually, it opens its eyes and can interact with voices and sing songs back to you.
