The annual Toy Fair is going on at NYC's Jacob Javits Convention Center, a four-day event where more than 1,000 companies debut toys kids and parents can expect to see in stores at Christmas. Some of the new toys include:
--A hologram version of Barbie, a fully animated Barbie can sit on a nightstand like a fairy, waiting for your kid to ask it something. It can also remind your child to clean their teeth, popping up with her toothbrush to ask if they're ready to start brushing.
--Tiny, foot-long Baby Groots from "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2," coming out in May.
--The first transgender doll, modeled after 16-year-old transgender activist JAZZ JENNINGS. It sells for $60.

--More Hatchimals, last Christmas' must-have kids present.
--DONALD TRUMP bobbleheads. You know you need one for your car dashboard.

Fashion Emergency:

Rihanna's long-awaited makeup line will finally be making its way to a Sephora near you this fall. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna unveiled photos of its first product on Instagram. What New Yorkmagazine's The Cut says is a "holographic" lip color last seen at the Fenty x Puma spring 2017 runway show. The brand-new account has details on where the line will be launching --in New York City, Dallas and Los Angeles. The luxury conglomerate LVMH signed Rihanna to develop the beauty line for a cool $10 million dollars in a deal announced last April. (Bartha)
