Toy News International is proud to bring you its Top Toy Picks for 2005.
We have broken down our picks into the following categories:
Best New Toyline
G.I.Joe: Sigma 6
Hasbro

Sigma 6, the code name for a new group of covert G.I. Joe operatives with highly specialized capabilities, uses innovative technology and gear designed exclusively for each mission. They are pitted against the evil Cobra organization seeking control of the world by sabotage, espionage, and outright destruction. Sigma 6 fights Cobra at every turn and provides swift solutions to critical situations around the globe.

Kids can relive the action of the new weekly SIGMA SIX animated series on 4Kids TV with Hasbro's new SIGMA SIX toy line. The first series includes: DUKE, SNAKE EYES, HEAVY DUTY, SPIRIT IRON-KNIFE and the Cobra ninja STORM SHADOW.

Each 8" figure is fully articulated and comes with signature gear. Initially unwilling to give this new line a chance when it was first announced, Joes fans quickly changed their minds once the figures hit shelves. Loaded with articulation, accesories and detail, it's easy to see why we picked Sigma 6 as the best new toyline for 2005.

Most Improved Toyline
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
Jazwares Inc.

Jazware takes the second series of 6" Mortal Kombat figures to the next level. Included in this series, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Lui Kang and Kung Lao are fully articulated figures with a vast improvement in detail over the first series. These toys were a natural pick for the most improved line for 2005.

Coolest Toy Concept

The second Marvel Legend series of 2005 had fans hunting for figures like never before! Each 6" Marvel Legend figure in this series comes packaged with a piece of Galactus, the devourer of worlds. Collect all the pieces, and you can build the 16" version of the famous villain. This is the Coolest Toy Concept for 2005.
