Public voting for the 2026 Toy of the Year Awards is open now, and fans can support the Starspeeder 1000 in the Playset Toy of the Year category by casting a vote on ToyAwards.org through January 7, 2026. Each person can vote once per category, so if you want to see this Starspeeder 1000 vehicle playset take home a Toy of the Year win, make sure to get your vote in.

Here is the full list of Toy of the Year Awards categories for 2026:

• Action Figure of the Year
• Collectible of the Year
• Construction Toy of the Year
• Creative Toy of the Year
• Doll of the Year
• Educational Toy of the Year
• Game of the Year
• Infant/Toddler Toy of the Year
• Kidult Toy of the Year
• License of the Year
• Outdoor Toy of the Year
• Playset Toy of the Year
• Plush Toy of the Year
• Preschool Toy of the Year
• Specialty Toy of the Year

One thing that stands out when you look over the full list of Toy of the Year finalists is who is not there. Despite holding the Star Wars master toy license and controlling the main Star Wars action figure lines, Hasbro did not secure a single Star Wars nomination in any Toy of the Year category this year — no figures, no vehicles, no playsets. 

Let's hope the Starspeeder 1000 wins the playset of the year category and gets the award! If you want to vote, head on over to ToyAwards.org, and if you want to add it to your collection, it's currently available on DisneyStore.com!
