NEW YORK, February 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

PremierEquityReports.com provides investors with quality research and analysis on the top U.S. equities on the move and today issues a report on active toy companies: Wild Craze Inc., Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), Leapfrog Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: LF), and Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS)

Consumer spending makes up approximately 70% of the United States' economic activity. And so far this year, consumer spending data has impressed economists. Steven Wieting of Citigroup said, "The hard data we follow as economists has held up better than we thought."

January auto sales rose 14% from a year ago, gasoline sales up 2.8%, and retail sales rose 0.1% in January to a pace of 4.4% above last year. That includes a 6.5% gain from last year's spending on restaurants (a highly discretionary purchase). Retail sales for the first two weeks of February rose 2.8%.

After seeing better than expected consumer spending figures, Premier Equity Reports is issuing this report on the following toy companies:

Wild Craze, Inc. CEO, Justin Jarman, believes their Snap Tagz product could become the next global toy fad. The Company presented Snap Tagz at the 110th American International Toy Fair where 33,000 toy industry insiders from 100 different countries gather to get a glimpse of the next 'must have' kids' toy. According to the Company, Snap Tagz was a huge hit with several major retailers.
