Hey there folks, it's Benj here. I'm the Tabletop & Merch Editor for GamesRadar+, which means I'm responsible for all of our toys coverage on the site. As it so happens, that includes Black Friday toy deals! I'll be listing the most tempting offers I can find right here, so please do follow along if you want to get the latest and best discounts. Let's get started, shall we?

The best Squishmallow offers so far | Save $5 or more at Amazon (opens in new tab)

The latest craze is getting quite a tidy saving in today's Black Friday toy deals, which is very nice indeed if you're looking to pick up some presents for a loved one or yourself. And if you're new to all this? Don't worry, it can feel like Squishmallows - e.g. very cute plushies with lots of personality - have snuck up out of nowhere. Just know that they're probably going to go down incredibly well with whoever you're buying for thanks to their recent boom in popularity. And to be honest, that's understandable. I mean, just look at those faces. D'awww. 

I've rounded up the best offers so far, most of which are on Amazon. You can save $5 or more across the range right now, so it's definitely worth a quick look.

Amazon has a 34% discount on this 11-inch Cyber Commander Series figure right now, kicking that $24.99 MSRP all the way down to $16.49 (opens in new tab).

Want to go for something other than chocolate this year with your advent calendar? There are loads of cool alternatives available right now, and many are heavily discounted as part of the Black Friday toy deals. The Funko ones might be our favorites; these open up to reveal little toy figures based on beloved franchises. The Star Wars one features classic characters in their festive best at 58% less than normal via Amazon (opens in new tab), for example, while the Disney version (including Mickey, Donald, Winnie the Pooh, and more) is now discounted by $35 in Amazon's sale (opens in new tab).

I've listed the various offers below for you to check out.

OK, this is just too cute not to share. If you head over to the Pokemon Center website (opens in new tab) in the US and buy certain eligible items, you'll get this incredible sweet Piplup Christmas ornament to go with your order. No matter whether you're buying plush toys (like plushie versions of the new starter Pokemon (opens in new tab)) or action figures from the site, it should come along for the ride.

However, seeing as it's only available while supplies last, you'll want to move quickly to take advantage of it!

Lego Optimus Prime | $179.99 $152.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)

This was one of my favorite Lego kits from the past year thanks to a really clever build that actually transforms, so I can definitely recommend picking it up while it's going for a heavily reduced $152.99 via the official Lego store (opens in new tab). Yes, it's quite pricey - but you're getting an incredible set that's a joy to put together and that looks fantastic standing at its full height of 35cm. 

Want to grab this in the UK instead? No problem. The UK Lego store has an even bigger discount on Optimus Prime, bringing it down to £159.99 £127.99 (opens in new tab). 

No matter what, it's one of the better Black Friday toy deals I've seen so far.

And that's me - I'm heading off for a break, so my lovely colleague Tabs (who's been keeping a close eye on the top scooter offers for you) is going to be taking the Black Friday toy deals from here. Thanks so much for following along, and have a fantastic weekend everyone!

You're picking up the minifigure extravaganza for just $23.99 (opens in new tab) in today's sales - a solid $21 off the $44.99 MSRP.

This $64.99 action figure has taken a mighty 46% discount in Target's Black Friday toy deals this afternoon, which means you can wrangle this beast for just $34.99 (opens in new tab). Measuring in at 3 feet long and stamped with the Jurassic World Dominion seal of approval, this is bound to be a hit among young (or young at heart) palaeontologists.

It's a smaller saving, but this is the lowest price we're seeing on the web for the Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage track set right now. Amazon is also matching this $22 discount (opens in new tab), but Target has it at $79.99 today. Nevertheless, we're still only a few dollars away from the lowest price we've ever seen here - which represents excellent value.
