The Toy Box (2017)
2/10
This show is a joke.
19 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It's a kids version of dragons den, shark tank.

But with a more questionable practices.

The kids are stereotyped, over dressed, clearly acting/coached with their responses for the most part when sitting down and interacting with potentials.

The host is merely a straight man following a script, anyone could do that job.

The judges/mentors might as well be talking heads, as they metaphorically rip the potentials a new ass hole. over several obvious issues that even a blind person can see.

The potentials: Most have a sob story and are heavily invested in their toy designs. Some even took an existing idea and over engineered it / just added some colour or plastic to it and made some cheap packaging.

For example, the worm game in ep1 is basically a sack race but you lie down and hump the floor.

ep2 snap and roll is clearly a micromachines set.

In the end the winner is pretty easy to guess, once you see the obvious copy right infringement, safety issues, and the current state of the product is 99% done.

I'd like to find a reddit or something to properly vent on this but i'm unable to find one.
