Toy: Patio Pong
Inventor: Melissa McEntyre
Patio Pong is “a large-scale ball toss game that is fun for the whole family,” according to ABC.
The kid judges break into teams and test just how fun the game really is. Sydney and Paxton think the game could easily be made at home, but Gideon wants the toy to hit store shelves across America. Joachim thinks the game could be difficult to transport. The toy receives four out of five “no” votes, quickly ending any chance of a deal with Mattel.
Hosted by “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet, “The Toy Box” helps inventors make their toy creation dreams become a reality. According to their website, the inventions are brought before a panel of the ultimate toy-loving judges: kids. The rotating panel features Noah Ritter, Olivia Trujillo, Madison Stevens, Emma Sobel, Sydney Mae Estrella, Adi Ash, Paxton Booth, Kyle Lee, Joachim Powell and Gideon Reynolds. The kids determine which toys make it to the finals and, ultimately, the one winning inventor who will win $100,000 and have their toy sold at Toys“R”Us.
A new episode airs each Sunday at 7 p.m. on ABC.
