The National Toy Hall of Fame at the Rochester, N.Y., Strong Museum recently named the 12 toy finalists for 2013.
The nominees vary from 80s favorites like Pac-Man, My Little Pony and the Magic 8 Ball to classics like chess, the scooter and the rubber duck.
Later this month, a national selection committee will vote on which two finalists will win a spot in the hall of fame. Toys are selected on the basis of: icon status, longevity, discovery and innovation.
On Nov. 7, the 2013 inductees will be revealed at a special ceremony.
To date, 51 toys have been inducted into the hall of fame.
The 2012 inductees included Star Wars action figures and dominos. Others include the bicycle, Play-Doh and Barbie. Also on the list are less traditional toys that have provided kids with entertainment for years like a stick and a cardboard box.
