Britain's largest toy retailer has released its predictions for this year's top Christmas toy - with six months still to go.
This year the list is dominated by the big and small screen, including Frozen, Thunderbirds, and a Tumbling Stuart toy inspired by blockbuster movie Minions.
Research carried out by Argos revealed that almost 90 per cent of children's toy boxes across the country contain toys influenced by their favourite TV shows and films.
The predicted favourites include Lego City Deep Sea Exploration, Minions Tumbling Stuart, Nerf Modulus and Real FX, race cars with artificial intelligence.
But many of the 13 toys on the list are similar to those that parents may have played with when they were younger.
With toys like Tracy Island, Lego and Barbie, 48 per cent of parents said they would be more likely to play and bond with their child, with 10 per cent wanting to play themselves.
Keith Chapman, creator of Bob the Builder and other children's shows, said: "There is such a fantastic variety of toys on this year's Top Toy list!
"With Thunderbirds already back on our screen and legacy characters like Minions, Lego and Barbie going from strength to strength it's no surprise they dominate the list.
"Kids today want to bring to life their favourite characters, creating stories in their own homes and many of the toys on this year's list allow them to do this."
Linzi Walker, Chief Toy Buyer at Argos, added: "This year, the list is more star studded than ever, driven by highly anticipated movie releases and kid's favourite TV shows.
"Toys like the Tracy Island, Barbie and Lego are all stellar examples of how this year's list crosses the generations, bringing the whole family together on Christmas Day.
"With the growing buzz around the new Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens movie out later this year, we are expecting even more toys to launch in the next few months which will be in huge demand by kids and parents alike.
"The toys are currently a closely guarded secret, so watch this space!"
