“It’s exciting to see some familiar faces like My Little Pony and Transformers among the finalists, but we also have some worthy newcomers like Apples to Apples and the trampoline, These toys represent a variety of play styles, from strategic to whimsical to physical, making it a tough decision for both the selection judges and the public.” Christopher Bensch, vice president for collections and chief curator.
Now it’s up to you to decide! Members of the public can vote for their favorite finalists online until September 25th. The final inductees will be announced in November, based on a combination of public votes and the selections of the National Selection Advisory Committee.
