Just in time for those windy days of March, Manhatten Toy released a new line of bug theme flyers. The new Soar & Spin kites feature 2 ways to fly. Kids can throw it or spin it around.

Each kite set comes with 1 flyer and 1 holding stick. These ultra light kite flyers are made up of a nylon body on a hard plastic frame with a 3D plastic head.

There are several different bug flyers available, including a bumblebee, a butterfly, and a lady bug. I think these would also be super cute for an Easter Basket. You can find them at many major retailers this spring and online at Amazon here: Bug Flyers

There’s a whole new line of toys hitting store shelves in 2012 based on Disney’s preschool hit Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Preschoolrs from 2 to 5 love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so I’m sure they’ll love this new toy line inspired inspired by the show, including space-themed play sets and figures. There will also be a new line featuring fun and interactive play sets from Fisher Price, figures and vehicles inspired by the upcoming Mickey Mouse Clubhouse special, Mickey and Donald Have a Farm, premiering this fall.

Character figures and animals can go for a spin on the dance floor, and a silly hand moves between the silo and windmill. The Farm Play Set will be available in August of 2012, with a retail price of around 44.99.

Master Moves Mickey —Decked out in his freshest dance gear and ready to get down, Master Moves Mickey dances and interacts, showing off some never-before-seen break-dance moves, ending in a signature handstand. His moves are hotter and hipper than ever! Master Moves Mickey features original music tracks, funky beats and plenty of awesome humor to get the whole family up and dancing. Mickey will be dancing into stores in August of 2012, just in time for the holiday shopping season, with a retail price of around $69.99.

They all sound like characters my son would love! The full Switch and Go Dino line will be hitting retailers late this fall including Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and online at Amazon.com. I’ll be back with more details when these toys start hitting the shelves!

The new Toy Story 3 movie premiering this June features several really cool plush toys. One of the biggest new Toy Story stars in the latest movie is Lotso Bear.

Lotso seems to be a friendly bear, but I think Woody and Buzz need to beware!

There’s also a new Toy Story 3 Plush Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head, both premiering on May 1 (and both are available now for pre-order from Amazon). Don’t they make an adorable pair!

• Pre Order Toy Story 3 Plush Mr. Potato Head
• Pre Order Toy Story 3 Plush Mrs. Potato Head

And Hamm as a Plush Toy is another old favorite who looks simply adorable showing of his new softer side.

I don’t know what this little guy’s name is but he’s a new Stretch Octopus plush from Toy Story 3. Kind of cute! I wonder if he’ll be a good guy, or a bad guy. Hmmm.

Do you have a favorite toy from the new Toy Story 3 movie coming out? I think the Alien is my favorite!
