Review on The Ultimate Toniebox Audio Player Starter Patrol: Unleash the Ultimate Character-Based Audio Adventure! by Jeremy Monroe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool idea and proper implementation

I can't believe how many characters you can add to this toniebox! Just check out their website, there are a lot of popular characters there! However, there is a downside: each character costs $15! However, I didn't think of it as a character, but as multiple books and stories/games/songs for $15. And when I look at it that way, the prices don't seem so absurd anymore. I've bought quite a few additional characters for ours, and while they're all cute, I don't like how much the story count varies. and much more that they may contain. For example, a capricious children's diary is 113 minutes long, while Peppa Pig has only 60 minutes of content. I found that some of them were even smaller than Peppa's! It annoys me that some of them are long and some are short and they are all the same price. Well as far as it works I have no complaints at all but it worked exactly as it should, right out of the box. Setup was very easy and only took me a few minutes. The characters are immediately recognizable by the border. The sound quality is also nice and clear. Overall, the build quality is excellent! No complaints about that at all. Overall, I think the idea is very good and well implemented. Of course, I would like the prices for additional characters to be a little lower, but hopefully when they come out they'll offer them a little cheaper. I also think a figure storage box would be fantastic. So far I'm very happy with it and my kids love it too!

Pros
  • Playback starts automatically when Tonie's sound figures are placed in the Toniebox. A click on the ears changes the volume. Pressing the sides changes tracks.
Cons
  • Hard to say
