Finalists for 2024 Toy Hall of Fame unveiled

The National Toy Hall of Fame has announced this year’s finalists for induction. Balloons, Transformers, Choose Your Own Adventure books, My Little Pony, and Pokemon cards are among the 12 finalists. “These 12 toys represent the wide range of play — from strategic to whimsical to physical — and present many playful match-ups,” Chief Curator Christopher Bensch said. “The selection judges and public will have some tough decisions this year.” Members of the public can vote for their iconic favorites for the Player’s Choice ballot now through September 25th.
