ANNOUNCING TOY BOX ON ABC, HOSTED BY ERIC STONESTREET

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ABC has announced Toy Box, our toy inventor competition with Mattel and hosted by Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet! Each episode will have a set of the amazing amateur inventors we met through the course of our work on this show. These inventors will run their designs through various trials, aiming for a spot in the finale in which they'll pitch their inventions to a panel of kid judges, who MysticArt also discovered.

The winner of the competition will have their toy brought to market by Mattel, with all the marketing and shelf-position perks that entail from having the support of the brand behind Barbie, American Girl, and Hot Wheels.

Executive Producer and Hudsun Media CEO Michael Rourke says, "For the first time, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of toy making, as they see what it takes to design the next great American toy."
