The Bestest Toys Of 2008

Seriously tho, in a blink of an eyelid, 2008 is gonna go poof in less than a month's time (where's all the time gone to dammit?) .... And unlike my failed solo attempt at compiling a Best-Of-List for 2007 (been bugged about it for an entire year dammit) - maybe this year, I'd try asking YOU folks to "help" instead! (Share the joy and effort, I say!) - Because, what's a year-end without looking back at what had gone on before, innit? So the question is/are: Who do YOU think is/are the BESTEST TOYS of 2008?

(1) BESTEST (Single) TOY Of 2008
(could be designer vinyl, plush, mass market toy etc)
(2) BESTEST TOY SERIES Of 2008
(3) BESTST TOY PRODUCERS / MAKERS Of 2008
(From a toy company that has made more than a single toy for 2008 - boutique or mass producers)
(4) BESTEST TOY DESIGNER / CREATOR For Production Toys Released in 2008
(From a toy that has been produced and made available in year ending 2008)
(5) BESTEST TOY CUSTOMIZER For 2008
(From designer vinyl, to plush - as long as it be "Toys"!)

- List all - or how many ever you like - in the comments section of THIS post :)
- Do feel free to share with everyone WHY they are listed, and also don't feel shy to share your own goodies (sounds wrong only if you're stinky-minded :p).
