The Toy Box Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
danieleded I wish I could use a negative rating because out of a scale of negative ten to positive ten (worst to best) negative ten wouldn't even be a low enough rating.The kids reactions are so scripted, it is nothing like a normal kid would act like (being a child myself). The host he just... just... just doesn't fit at all and looks really awkward and the only reason this show has a 3.8 rating is because of the fake reviews probably put out by the creators of the show.The base idea of the show is kind of okay, but the execution is poor and if the show was to go on, the judge "Noah" needs to be taken of the show immediately because of how obnoxious his scripted caricature is. Also of course the judges aren't going to settle on a perfect result because of the ages: 8, 9, 10, 13 (I think it was) a 13 year old is not going to be interested in something an 8 year old would be.I think this needs its own paragraph: WHO EDITED THE SHOW AND WHO DECIDED IT SHOULD AIR?????Anyway this is by far the worst thing I have ever watch on tv and I have had to sit through hours of watching "Bravo" and "MTV". I would even rather watch them instead. I am disappointing this aired at all for longer than two episode let alone two seasons. This needs to be canceled ASAP... no... that acronym is to good of an acronym to be used... This needs to be canceled NOW!!!
Nikita Moon I can't say I'm all that surprised at the many bad reviews, but I didn't mind the first season. I really love the concept of the show, seeing new ideas from hopeful entrepreneurs and loved the idea of kid judges. Who cares if it's similar to Shark Tank? I love the idea of seeing new ideas for toys and how the kids react to them. Too bad they missed the mark in delivery.Some of the 'toys' had me wondering how even got through, they were so incredibly lame. But we all have such different opinions of what makes a toy fun, as adults, so that's why it' should be interesting to see what the kids think. If it was done right that is.However, I just watched a season 2 episode, some of it anyway, and was quite disappointed to see they had reformatted the flow and changed the judges for the worse. I really loved the original panel. Especially the British girl, so posh and had great feedback. I can't believe how many are hating on poor Noah lol was he the red haired chubby kid? I thought he was funny, and yes pretentious but I liked that. This new panel is so drab and flavourless comparatively with barely any memorable personalities.The host is borderline tolerable, if that, and it seems like in this new season they amped up his most annoying qualities. I also miss seeing the experts vet the toy first, to see what merits matter and don't. It needs to feel like the kids are actually assessing and reviewing the toys via play and taking with the inventor to work and it just doesn't anymore, if ever. We don't get nearly as much product info as we did in S1 and it seems like the kids barely play with the stuff before jumping into a very scripted feeling review afterwards.I loved the idea of it being an almost reality type show about product testing for toys and games. But it's more of an bland scripted waste of time with a super sized annoying host who looks like he's faking his way threw it all. And what was with those pillow fight pillows? Lol small and hard, like, come on. Triple the size and bury the hard part. Pretty simple. The fact she was let threw and allowed to claim they were really soft pillows damages the vetters credibility in my opinion.Are they this hard up for decent ideas? Or are they simply stacking the deck in favour of what I'm sure is a predetermined winner. And what's with the description claiming the inventors have no idea kids will be judging? As if lol
thejacobtait Massive too long;don't read Alert.So this show is even worse second season. Looks like things are just going to get worse as they go along.This review is for the kids. These nuggets are terrible.Noah: He's back. And he's more tolerable now. His jokes are actually funny, and he's more of a judge now. He's not OhMyGoodnessThisThingIsAmazing10/10Perfect anymore. But that kid is now...Kyle: This thing is insanely bad. He always acts like everything is a perfect toy. Even when the other judges try to get some sense into his thick skull, he doesn't think about anything. And when he's actually negative, he acts like the toy is straight from Hell.Tips to improve:1. Balance the pros and cons. 2. Think about every kid. You are not every kid. Think about every age group. 3. Take the advice from other judges.Emma: This girl is just alright. She makes some stupid decisions, but otherwise she's alright. Olivia: The only good judge. Makes sense because she's the oldest. Paxton: I don't remember anything about this guy.Rating is 4 out of 10.
rjstamand Episode three, 2 blocks, tubelocks or whatever is introduced as a brand new toy idea, it's basically PVC pipe with connectors and wheels. This is an exact replica of a toy from Playskool called Pipeworks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playskool_PipeworksSo now you know, this show is fake. And the kids are annoying.
