It’s officially September, so the Toy Book Top 10 is hitting the rewind button and taking a look back at some of the hottest stories of August 2022, as chosen by you, the readers.
Heading into the dog days of summer, the news of Eaglemoss’ bankruptcy and Jazwares’ Pokémon Squishmallows still technically hung on in the Top 10 from July while a June story about ZURU’s 5 Surprise Mini Brands resurfaced amid new interest. But, to secure a slot within the monthly Top 10, only news and features that were published in August qualify for an official designation.
With that in mind, check out the stories that dominated the most-read items here at the Toy Book last month.
