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 mentors are presented to the 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.
On June 16, 2017, ABC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on October 1, 2017, and ended on November 19, 2017. After the company Toys "R" Us announced that all UK and U.S. operations would be going out of business, the fate of The Toy Box is unknown.

Judges
Kids
In both seasons, a group of child judges (up to the age of 13) gets to play with the various toys and vote on which toy was the best in each episode. While season 1 only had four judges that consistently appeared in each episode, season 2 had ten child judges, a random five of which would judge in each episode. Only one judge from season 1 (Noah) returned as a judge in season 2.
Professionals
In season 1, three professional judges and mentors (being esteemed toy reviewers and children's product creators) reviewed each product before it was sent to the child judges. This process happened off-screen and with different unknown professional judges in season 2.
The professional judges in season 1 were:
- Dylan Lauren
- Jim Silver
- Jen Tan
