5. Rock Star Mickey

You can activate Rock Star Mickey by pressing his foot or pulling his nose.

Chances are parents will yank the batteries from this toy long before Dec. 26 rolls around. It sings, dances, and does the “Mickety splits” at the end of his routine.

Rock Star Mickey is the love child of Disney and Fisher-Price, who may have thought that Mickey's voice wasn't annoying enough, so they added an electric guitar to the mix. By pressing Mickey’s foot or pulling his nose (a sadly enjoyable activity), Mickey’s head starts bobbing and his high-pitched voice kicks into action, to the tune of “You Really Got Me” by the Kinks.

The toy retails for $53.99, making the song selection especially apt: Yes, you really got me ... in the pocketbook.
