The Alphabet Network has had success with Shark Tank, where successful business moguls invest in entrepreneurs. Will its new toy design competition show, The Toy Box, hosted by Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet, attract enough viewers for some more Friday night fun? Will The Toy Box be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
On The Toy Box TV show on ABC, inventors present their toys to mentors including Dylan’s Candy Bar owner Dylan Lauren, toy guru Jim Silver, and Pixar Creative Director of Consumer Products Jen Tan. If the mentors officially approve a concept toy, its inventor moves on to “The Toy Box.” There the designers will face the real test and earn the approval of actual kids, including Sophia Grace Brownlee, Aalyrah Caldwell, Toby Grey, and Noah Ritter. These judges choose which toys will progress to the finals. After the season finale, the winning toy will be sold exclusively at Toys ”R” Us.
