Anki Cozmo comes in at first place among the top ten toys for nine year old boys this year.
Movie robots have been totally cool for the past few decades. But Cozmo is a real-life “ro-boy” with a unique personality that reflects yours. He develops emotions and feelings that are all his own. In short, a robotic best friend.
2. LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75146)

The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar also holds a strong place among the best toys for 9 year old boys for the holidays of 2017.
The advent calendar is a cool idea for building the anticipation and excitement for Christmas. This one is Star Wars themed, so there are 24 different doors with 24 Star Wars LEGO gifts—one per door. Includes weapons and collectibles.

Hitting the third spot on the list – Air Hogs Thunder Trax R/C Vehicle.
One of the best new toys this year, the Thunder Trax is a new Air Hogs all-terrain driver that shifts from an RC tank to an RC boat (complete with paddles). The controller sends strong radio communications for long-range control.

The Tri-Strike is a triple-threat blaster that fires 3 different sizes of foam darts. There are 10 regular NERF darts, 4 MEGA NERF dart, and a single SUPER-MEGA NERF dart. In other words, there are three ways to strike fear into the heart of opponents. Includes 10-dart clip for storage.

There are two controllers, each controlling a car of a corresponding color.Sure to be a holiday hit for 2017 (and into 2017) – the Hot Wheels AI Racing Starter Playset also falls in as one of the top toys for boys age 9 this year.
Of course this awesome, high-intelligence, robotic race track is from Hot Wheels.
With several modes to play, the virtual track displays imaginary obstacles that drivers use to rack up points and, ultimately, win against their opponent. Lots-a possibilities!
6. Razor Power Core E90 Electric Scooter

Next up on the list – Razor Power Core E90 Electric Scooter.
I am diggin’ the E90! Razor has amped up speed and function by 50-percent. This scooter is motorized to reach top speeds of 10 miles-per-hour with 80-90 minutes of continuous go. Requires a strong kick-off to get rollin’ before the motor kicks in. The retractable kickstand makes storage much easier.
7. POOF Cage Court Hoops

This fold-open hoop is perfect indoor play, with an inflatable basketball.Lovin’ this one! POOF Cage Court Hoops comes in at #7 of the best 9 year old boys’ toys for 2017.
Talk about bringing the 90s back!
The net is chain-linked and the backboard has a cool urban design that reminds me of big cities. Super-simple to hang on doors.
8. Sphero Special Edition BB-8 App-Enabled Droid with Force Band

A returning favorite also enters in as one of the best toys for boys age 9 this year.
Admittedly, I never saw the last Star Wars. Shameful…I know, but I think the toys that have come from that movie are awesome. Like this one, the BB-8—a rollin’ robot, compatible with smartphones and tablets. This bot follows your commands, embarking on galactic missions with a Star Wars app.
9. Razor Hovertrax 2.0

Next, in the 9th spot on the list – Razor Hovertrax 2.0.
Hoverboards are all the rage right now. But the Hovertrax 2.0 is, thus far, the best on the market, thanks to the self-balancing tech and silent motors. It cruises at top speeds of 8 miles-per-hour on a 60-minute continuous ride. Includes blue LED lights, fender bumpers, and a smooth-rollin’ ride.
10. Project Mc2 Way to Glow Science

Not the smartest idea.The final item on the 2017 top 10 list of toys for 9 year old boys is Project Mc2 Way to Glow Science.
When I was a teenager, a group of my friends would pop open glow sticks, stick them in water bottles, and watch them glow.
This science set is much safer and much cooler because kids can create their own glowing powders. Includes glow-in-the-dark stickers and instructions.
