Yes, he was on stage with his fellow actors as his hit comedy show, Modern Family, collected it’s Best Comedy award less than 48 hours ago. And now here he is in NYC introducing the Kmart Fab 15 must have toys for the 2011 holiday season. And daddy Mitch got to be there!
Here is the Fab 15 list from Kmart in no particular order with my special commentary:
1. Nerf Vortex Nitron Blaster – my son loves all things Nerf since at 8 years old he knows I won’ let him have a real gun!
2. Transformers Mechtech Ultimate Optimus Prime – Just this past weekend my son posed with huge Transformer figures, he loves them!
3. Furreal Friends Cookie My Playful Pup – looks adorable, I would get this for my son if it meant he would stop pestering me for a real dog! It is adorable.
4. Redakai Championship Battle Tin – We already have this tin and several extra sets. The 3D cards are great and make for a fun and competitive game.
5. WWE Colossal Crashdown Arena – They all looked at me as I gasped when this was unveiled, my son would love this, he is a big wrestling fan!
6. Laser Stunt ChaserR/C Vehicle – every boy and some girls must have R/C vehicles!
7. Fijit – adorable.
8. Let’s Rock Elmo – I went to this launch yesterday! This is going to be a biggie!
9. Dora Fiesta Favorites Kitchen – Ola Dora! And Boots! This show taught my son Spanish and I will be forever grateful!
10. Simon Flash – You have to throw in 1 educational style game to look good for the holidays, it is on my list! Test your memory and logic.
11. Mini Lalaloopsy Treehouse Playset- I recuse myself, it looks fun, we have aged out of it!
12. Barbie Designable Hair Extensions and Doll – use an ink jet printer to transfer your designs from the printer to Barbie’s hair. Wow. Technology is making these classics more amazing every year.
13. I am T-Pain microphone – my singing star would love his. You can upload music from your own computer!
14. LeapPad – a tablet for your kids. Wow. And affordable. And from LeapFrog so they will have a blast while learning!
15. Lite Sprites – I saw this at the Toy Fair back in February, and now I am starting to see them everywhere else. The girls are loving them, my friend at the event said her 9 year old girls wanted them! And, I believe there will be a TV show as well to follow the Lite Sprites story!
This list is jam packed with what I agree will be the hot toys of 2011!

And here are my amateur videos of Rico introducing us to the toy line-up. He had a great sense of humor and it was an honor to meet such a well polished young man, and a major TV star!
There is also an awesome sweepstakes on the Kmart site to enter here.
Disclosure: I received no compensation for this post. Except for the opportunity to take the following paparazzi pic with someone who’s hit show just won an Emmy!!!!! That’s why there are 2!
Love the show Modern Family. Cool list – my friend’s girls want the Lite Sprites. It’s advertised a lot on the kiddie cable channels and guess those commercials are working!
