The Toy Box is an American reality television series that premiered on April 7, 2017 on ABC. The show depicts aspiring entrepreneur-contestants as they present toy inventions first to a panel of toy industry professionals, then to a panel of children. Only toys approved by the adult mentors are presented to the child judges "in the Toy Box," who select one toy to advance to the finals each episode. The season's winning toy will be produced and distributed by Mattel and sold at Toys "R" Us stores.
"YES" and "NO" indicate the adult panel results; "FINALIST" designates the toy chosen by the child jury to advance to the finals.
In the Finals, each of the seven chosen finalist toys return. After all playing with the finalist toys once more, each of the child judges eliminates one toy from the competition (Toby with Chromotag, Aalyrah with My Ballerina Doll, Sophia Grace with Wiggies, and Noah with Arya Ball).
Other than the guaranteed Mattel contract for the winner, other non-winning toys are sometimes also featured at Toys "R" Us. Ocassionally, the toy's branding changes its name before being distributed.
