Best-selling toys on Amazon this month

Volume sits at the low end: the leaders are Slimygloop Gelli Gels, balloons from PartyWoo and Bezente, a 30-pack of squishies and trading card sleeves, all under $20, and the median price on the overall list is $11.99. Party supplies and stocking-stuffer items will keep growing into December.

Where sellers based in China win

They hold 33 of the 89 places overall. Remote-control toys (80%), arts and crafts (58%) and baby and toddler toys (52%) are open to them; games (11%) and building toys (20%) are brand and licence driven, led by Pokémon, LEGO and MAGNA-TILES.

New listings for the holidays

44 of the 81 new listings come from sellers in China, but the biggest are licensed holiday products: the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundle, Squeeze Please marshmallows and the LEGO City Advent Calendar 2026. A butter squishy from Zeeoa is the largest new listing from a seller in China, at about 25,000 units.

Price bands

Listings priced $0–10 took 46% of the units sold on this issue’s main list, more than any other price band.

How to read the toys best-seller list

Start with the subcategory tabs rather than the overall list: they show where demand sits inside toys and which corners a single brand has locked up. When the same two or three brands fill most of a tab, a new listing needs a clear difference to win orders; when the tab is spread across many brands, buyers are choosing on price and listing quality.

Read units and ratings together. High estimated sales with few ratings means demand that reviews have not locked up yet. Then compare the "New listings" and "Sellers based in China" tabs with the overall list to see what a newer or smaller seller can realistically reach.

Method

  • Scope: the US toys category and everything under it, estimated units over the last 30 days, one row per parent listing and at most three places per brand. Each subcategory is ranked separately.
  • "New listings" keeps products listed within six months with fewer than 3,000 ratings; "Sellers based in China" keeps sellers in mainland China or Hong Kong.
  • Unit sales are third-party estimates, not figures published by Amazon.
How the data works

FAQ

What are the best-selling toys on Amazon?

See the list on this page: products ranked by estimated 30-day units, updated monthly, with this issue’s main points in the three takeaways at the top. Each subcategory tab shows its own leaders.

How do sellers based in China do in toys?

The "Sellers based in China" tab lists the best sellers from mainland China or Hong Kong, and the table further down shows how many of each subcategory’s leaders they sell.

How is this different from Amazon's own Best Sellers list?

Amazon's list orders products by an hourly sales rank and shows no volumes. This ranking gives estimated monthly units, revenue and seller country, and can be exported.
