A Prancing Pony is what every little girl will want this Christmas (and it only costs £850!): Robotic pets top this year's wishlist at Hamleys Hamleys has unveiled predicted top sellers for Christmas List is full of interactive toys including robotic puppy and Robo Fish By Toni Jones It's only June but if you want to buy your child one of this year's most unusual toys at Christmas, you had better start saving now. Toy giant Hamleys today unveiled the life size Clydesdale Prancing Pony, designed to look and move like a real horse - with a price tag of £850. Given the cost, the store isn't expecting the product to be a bestseller. But other virtual pets ranging from a robotic puppy to Robo Fish are predicted to top this year's Christmas wish lists. The ultimate Christmas present? The £850 life-size Prancing Pony is one of the animal themed toys unveiled today by children's department store Hamleys today Labour MP Ed Balls wandered by on his phone as five-year-old Lottie Fielding from Aldershot tried out the Clydesdale Prancing Pony at the Hamleys preview (left) before the pony was escorted upstairs The retailer has released a list of its predicted bestsellers, topped by the lifelike puppy Teksta. Robot dog toys were popular in the Nineties and this new version responds to voices, physical gestures, lights and sounds with the help of 'state-of-the-art artificial intelligence'. The £75 toy can even 'share its feelings' through barking, crying, whimpering and expressive eye patterns, while its owners can teach it to stop, sit and perform a back flip. Another interactive toy that will be available is the £14 Robo Fish. It has already become one of the fastest-selling toys of all time and features an intelligent sensor that sees it performing 'the swimming patterns of a real fish' when dropped in to water. Meanwhile, a £14 box of assorted 'VIP Pets' including a nature-loving bohemian, a romantic novelist, a famous party planner and a top sports star require help from their owners to appear in front of the paparazzi cameras. Horse power: The Clydesdale Prancing Pony dwarfs a pink Cadillac toy while trolls still remain a popular choice Should any of the pets fall ill, the £26 Doc McStuffins Doctor's Bag includes a sparkly thermometer, syringe, blood pressure cuff with working gauge, otoscope and a light-up stethoscope. Also making the list is the Lion Chi Temple, the scene of tribal warfare and the battle to reach the sacred Chi orb rising high above the temple. The £125 toy comes with seven mini figures wielding weapons, an agile eagle drone fighter and a rotating tower canon than can be deployed to repel an airborne assault. The Monster High 13 Wishes dolls are due for release later this year but are already expected to be a top seller on the back of a DVD of the same name that follows the tale of Howleen Wolf who stumbles upon a lantern that grants her 13 wishes. The race is on: Tristan Robertson Jeyes, two, and Jayla Silva, three, road test the toy cars at Hamleys today On his Christmas list? Tristan enjoys a ride in the toy Cadillac The 'freakishly fabulous' range of dolls are for those aged three and over and cost £23 each, and come with a pet, diary, brush, doll stand and character-specific accessories. The LeapPad makes a return to the top-seller list again this year, priced at £125 for the 'ultra' version that allows children to play, draw and write on a seven-inch high-resolution screen with front and back cameras. And even the more traditional toys now have a gadgetry component. The £26 Chasin' Cheeky Game launches into a dance when rings are successfully thrown on to its tail and the £40 Sulley Monster Mask has 'child-powered' facial movements. Hamleys has also included the Furby Boom on the list, even though the toy is not due to be released until later this year and details are scarce. High tech: The Lego Mindstorms EV3 can be controlled via an iPad application A spokeswoman said despite this the toy was expected to be a huge seller on the back of other toys in the range. Hamleys buying and planning director Laura Olver said: 'Every year there is such pressure to come up with the latest toy, but I think we've got a combination of newness and the traditional. 'The robotic puppy first came out in the late Nineties and sold eight million pieces, and now it's back with new gestures. There is a sentimentality there, but there's also newness and reinvention.' Hamleys predicted top ten bestselling toys Teksta Puppy, £75.00 The Lion Chi Temple, £125 The LeapPad Ultra, £125 Chasin Cheeky, £26 Doc McStuffins Doctor's Bag, £26 Monster High 13 Wishes Dolls, £23 The Sulley Monster Mask, £40 Robo Fish, £14 AND... the Furby Boom, £75 (to be released in September)
