The PAW Patrol are on a roll in their Rescue Vehicles. Join Chase the police dog on crime-solving missions in his Police Cruiser. He can roll to the rescue with real working wheels just as Skye can roll in her Airplane. Skye can also fly high with her airplane’s activated lights.

Each of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 Figure Packs feature one of the Ninja Turtles and a villain. Raphael faces off with Rocksteady, Michelangelo comes ready to fight Leatherhead, and when you purchase all four, the included dioramas snap together to create one dramatic backdrop.

Another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy is the Pizza Fire Delivery Van, as seen in the Mutant Mayhem movie. The van opens from the front as well as the back, has room for all four Turtles and Splinter, and comes with a pizza launcher.

This summer’s Barbie movie was a cultural phenomenon that inspired everything from fashion to toys and even memes. You can buy your own Margot Robbie as Barbie in her iconic pink gingham dress as well as her pink Hot Wheels Corvette and, if you buy Ken too, he can pop up from the backseat while Barbie is singing along to the Indigo Girls.

Pixar’s Elemental has grossed over $460 million due to its global appeal and cross-cultural love story. Disney has created a Deluxe Figure Set that includes nine quintessential characters from Elemental including Ember and her parents, Wade and his family, as well as Gale and Lutz.
