This is THE toy. It has movable parts. It talks. It folds. It turns into stuff. It's a kid's wildest dream and no, it's not just a slogan; the Cool Toy is "the real deal". It might be a one-of-a-kind, custom made, imported or simply the greatest toy ever that has somehow made it to the mass market, but it is the number one in the story, no substitutes. So, naturally, it will be a major plot point. A Cool Toy that has landed in the hands of the protagonist might give them a sudden boost of popularity or self-confidence, or even turn out to be alive or Phlebotinum in disguise. Naturally it will also regularly get broken, misplaced, or stolen. As a general rule, "normal" kids are allowed one cool toy, which they will treasure, while rich kids will have a roomful which they barely even touch. Do not confuse with another type of "cool toy". |

In the Justice League Christmas Episode "Comfort and Joy", Flash promised to get a D.J. Rubber Ducky for the kids at an orphanage. After racing from store to store and finding none in stock, he eventually acquired one from the factory in Japan. | |

Fun Haus' toys in the "Invasion of the Secret Santas!" episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold were the "gotta have it" toy in the present day, and the reason li'l Bruce was being a brat was that he didn't get the "gotta have it" toy for Christmas, but a family heirloom. | |

The Discworld Roleplaying Game scenario "Watch Academy VI: Hogswatchnight" features the must-have toy in Ankh-Morpork this Hogswatch, which is — of course — secretly part of a Sinister and Eldritch Plot. In the scenario as written they're quasi-intelligent furry things called Burfies, but the author recommends adapting them to whatever the Cool Toy is at the time the game is played. | |

Arthur: The Woggle fad hits Elwood City and everyone "has to" have one. Arthur doesn't want to join in but eventually is sucked in, by which time no woggles are to be had. The girls are into "World Girl" dolls, and rich girl Muffy tries to get one of every one; then she discovers they're making new ones all the time so she'll never be able to. One episode has a Transformers parody robot toy that Buster ends up shoplifting so that (he dreams) he will be cool. |

Parodied in the Phineas and Ferb episode "Toy to the World". The boys create the immediate sensation "Perry the Platypus Inaction Figure", where the selling point is the fact that the toy does absolutely nothing. Later, it's supplanted by the equally inert Brick. | |

Scaredy Squirrel parodies this in "Snerd Envy", where the toy everyone in town but Scaredy has is completely plain and useless. And then again when Scaredy convinces the rest of the characters that he has an invisible one. They follow him at first until he fesses up... but then wins them back when he has the cool new "Mr. Handy Hand" (just googly eyes placed on his hand). This episode also leads to a subtle Aesop about using your imagination. | |

In the second half of Santa Claus: The Movie, the runaway elf Patch decides he will get back into Santa's good graces (after screwing up the previous Christmas with a mass-production system that turned out defective toys) by coming up with one of these and distributing it himself for free come the next Christmas Eve. With the backing of the Corrupt Corporate Executive B.Z. he creates a Cool Treat — a lollipop that, thanks to the secret ingredient of stardust, allows the person who consumes it to temporarily fly. These become a worldwide sensation, so much so that Patch is a bigger name than Santa come Christmas Day. B.Z. then convinces Patch to come up with an even more powerful follow-up (candy canes this time) that B.Z. will charge the public for, even coming up with a new holiday concept, Christmas II, to promote it. Patch, who doesn't realize that B.Z. is evil, obliges — and then it turns out that the candy canes are Made of Explodium, as stardust is volatile when exposed to heat... | |

In The Adventures of Superman #520, Superman is attempting to buy that year's cool toy for adults - a reissue of the classic Date With Debbi doll - as a Christmas present for Lois when he ends up having to battle a hundred C-list costumed villains. By the time he has finished, the stores have closed. However, the department store president rewards him for saving the store by giving him a doll from a shipment that arrived too late to go on the shelves. | |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "action figure", Strong Bad imagines cramming as many action figure features as possible into a hypothetical Strong Bad action figure. This includes, among other things, a detachable head with a secret compartment, "double deuce action", glow-in-the-dark abs, and a dispenser fist that oozes "radioactive goo". This is in stark contrast to Strong Bad's attempt at actually making his own action figure, a crude figurine of himself made from a peanut with a painted-on face, limbs made from pipe cleaners, and googly eyes. | |

An early episode of Frasier had his son Frederick (and presumably all other kids) wanting an Outlaw Laser Robo Geek for Christmas. Frasier, who had wanted to only buy intellectual toys, had to hurry out and find one, without much success on Christmas Eve. Fortunately, his father had planned ahead. | |
