Toys "R" has released its 2011 holiday hot toy list (and here I was wondering if it's too early to write about Halloween stores opening. Guess not.).

The list features 36 toys new this year that the retailer thinks will wow children on Christmas morning. Within that list is the "Fabulous 15" considered the best of the best toys.

Just which one will be the "in" toy of the holiday remains to be seen. There's an Elmo among them, the Let's Rock! Elmo. But the bizarre, Peep-like British research robot-turned-toy My Keepon is just odd enough to be especially appealing. (Seriously, check out this video of it dancing.)
