 Specific games such as Battleship and activities a kid can create with a visit to the laundry basket, like puppets, are among 12 finalists for the National Toy Hall of Fame. 
  
 The new list, announced Monday afternoon, also includes American Girl dolls, the coloring book, Jenga, PLAYMOBIL, a scooter, Super Soaker, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a top, Twister and Wiffle Ball. 
  
 Poll: Which finalist is your favorite? 
  
 The 2015 inductees will be announced in November at Rochester's Strong National Museum of Play, also home to the International Center for the History of Electronic Games and the World Video Game Hall of Fame. 
  
 “We try to come up with a list of finalists that do represent different kinds of play,” said Strong curator Patricia Hogan. “We like to have board games as well as puppets and balls, a broad spectrum of classic toys.” 
  
 Since 1998, 56 toys have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Last year's inductees were miniature little green army men, the Rubik's Cube and bubbles. An in-house committee of curators, researchers, historians and marketing specialists sifted through a nomination process open to anyone through toyhalloffame.org. The list of 12 finalists will be reviewed by a national selection committee, with each member voting for his or her top picks for induction. Three toys are generally honored. 
  
 Hogan estimates the museum received about 8,000 nominations, although many were for the same toy. The Toy Hall of Fame also takes nominations by phone or letter. “We often get letters from schoolkids who are practicing their writing,” Hogan said. 
  
 According to the National Toy Hall of Fame website, the criteria for selection include: 
  
 Icon status, "the toy is widely recognized, respected, and remembered." 
  
 Longevity, "the toy is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over multiple generations." 
  
 Discovery, "the toy fosters learning, creativity, or discovery through play." 
  
 Innovation, "The toy profoundly changed play or toy design." A toy may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three." 
  
 The criteria help even the playing field between more primitive games such as watching bubbles float across the yard and the more intellectually challenging Rubik's Cube. 
  
 If a toy doesn't make the cut on year, it may be renominated: American Girl Dolls, Jenga, the wiffle ball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the scooter and Twister have all previously been up for consideration. 
  
 Some of the more involved stories among the nominees include the 18-inch-tall American Girl Dolls, each coming with a historical back story, which were introduced in 1985, followed by the My American Girl in 1996, with each doll designed to look like its owner. 
  
 While Battleship was initially played with paper and a pencil, a strategic board game (or game of luck if your ship was sunk) with plastic ships was introduced in 1967. 
  
 PLAYMOBIL, first appearing in 1974, is a play set of 3-inch-tall figures that include buildings, vehicles, animals, Vikings, Egyptians and pirates. 
  
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were first seen in the 1980s as a satiric, self-published comic book. But the turtles quickly evolved into a merchandising Godzilla of toys, television shows, movies, video games and clothing. 
  
 The inductees will be announced at the museum at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 5, with a weekend of public celebration Nov. 7 and Nov. 8.
