#4 Lalaloopsy Silly Hair Star Doll

 Lalaloopsy sings, dances, and tells jokes.

#5 YFliker Scooter

Toys"R"Us saw the YFliker Scooter had incredible popularity in the UK, so it brought the scooter over to the United States in time for the holidays. It has two prongs, and is different than the traditional scooter—riders place their right and left feet on the prongs of the scooter and sway their hips from left to right to move forward.
