Barbie plays second fiddle this year
Every year, the National Retail Federation releases a list of the top toys for the holiday gift-giving season based on a consumer survey.

Whatever their little princesses desire… Here are the top five toys for boys and girls for 2014:
Boys
LEGO
Cars and trucks
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Video games
Hot Wheels
Girls
Disney Frozen
Barbie
Dolls (generic)
Monster High dolls
