The Toy Box is back for its second season. A new wave of inventors will pitch their toy concepts to a new panel of kid judges. After giving each toy a fair shake, the kids determine which inventors and toys advance to the next round. The grand prize is having Mattel manufacture the toy and have it sold exclusively at Toys ‘R Us — and $100,000 in cash!
On the premiere season, 26-year-old James Farmer aka Cherry Robot from Beaverton, Oregon will present his Cyborg Princess toys, a series of figurines and comic books that feature alternate-world characters who “serve as futuristic emblems of female empowerment.” Check out the video of James working in his incredible studio below. He refers to his work as “impulse art project.” How can you not vote for this guy to win? But will the kids? The Toy Box airs Sundays at 7pm on ABC, right before Shark Tank.
