Forget Christmas Shopping, Look What's New for Halloween

Forget stocking stuffers, these ghoulish girls could be the perfect Jack-O-Lantern stuffer.

They call it the Holiday Showcase.  Thursday in New York Time to Play Magazine.com  announced its top twenty picks for the Most Wanted toys of the holiday season.  The editors of the leading online magazine for professional and parental toy reviews reveals their picks and host a showcase of toy manufacturers for the media every September.

The toys on display in the showcase weren't all aimed at Christmas gift shoppers. Six ghoulish girls are putting a Halloween twist on traditional fairytale princess themes.

They are WowWee's Zombie Princess dolls.  These princesses come with a twist and take some of  sugary sweet goodness out of the public domain characters that Disney has made famous.  

Zombie Rapunzel, Zombie Little Mermaid, Zombie Belle, Zombie Sleeping Beauty,  Zombie Cinderella, and Zombie Snow White all feature the big eyes and features that Disney has made famous, but with a look that makers hope are to die for.

They'll be available at major chain stores for the Halloween shopping season and they are also available on line at the Wowwee.com website. 

Is this a fresh take on Halloween fun or just too ghoul for school?
