A group that says it wants to stop the marketing of violence to children released Monday its annual "dirty dozen" list of toys it hopes people will avoid when buying holiday gifts.

This year's list includes several brand names with multiple products -- including action figures, movies on DVD and video games -- that are deemed too violent:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- Casey Jones action figure; TMNT video game
Power Rangers Ninja Storm -- Ninja training playset; video game
Transformers -- Razorclaw action figure; Beast Wars video game
World Wrestling Entertainment -- Training Day action figures; Smackdown! video game
Jak -- Jak II video game

"The video game, movie and toy industries continue to market violent products allegedly intended for teens and adults to younger and younger children," said Daphne White, executive director of the Lion and Lamb Project. "Our children are now moved along from the cartoon violence in Ninja Turtles to the cold blooded murder in The Matrix Reloaded (now out on DVD) in just a few short years."

The group also released a list of 20 family-friendly toys that it encourages people to buy, including remote-control cars, three-dimensional puzzles and the "Dance, Dance Revolution" video game.

Columns -- A 3-D form of tic-tac-toe
Addictionary -- Game where players try to get rid of cards by spelling words
Zitternix -- Vertical version of pick-up sticks

Whale Rider -- Movie about a girl on a spiritual journey

Lion and Lamb Project says it works in two ways -- with parents and other concerned adults to reduce the demand for violent products, and with industry and government to reduce the supply of such products.
