Toys “R” Us Reality TV Competition Show in Development

As a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia hearing about the revival of Toys “R” Us. The iconic toy store was an integral part of my childhood, a place where dreams were made, friendships forged, and countless hours were spent in wonder and delight. So, when I heard about the upcoming reality competition series, “Toys “R” Us Family Faceoff,” I was beyond excited!


A while back, the well-known toy store chain Toys “R” Us went bankrupt and shut down all its stores nationwide, making it appear as if the brand had met its end. However, the brand has since experienced a significant revival, opening new stores throughout the country. Now, there’s even talk of a reality TV show based on Toys “R” Us, titled “Toys “R” Us Family Faceoff.” According to Deadline, Fox Alternative Entertainment is in the process of creating this show. The Toys “R” Us reality program will center around families competing within an oversized replica of the famous toy store. Moreover, classic toy brands are expected to be integrated into the competition format of the Toys “R” Us TV series.

Here’s what Fox Alternative Entertainment head Allison Wallach had to say about the upcoming show:

The “Toys ‘R’ Us Family Faceoff” marks a progression in the family-oriented competition genre, appealing to fans who cherish the classic toys and games from our childhood days, along with some exciting new additions. With Toys “R” Us serving as the hub, featuring grandiose challenges that blend popular toys and games, it promises an hour of joy for everyone in the family.

The specifics about the game’s regulations and the participating toy brands remain undisclosed in the Toys “R” Us reality show. Will it feature Pokemon battles, Nintendo clashes, or will it opt for classic categories like Cabbage Patch Kids and Care Bears? At this point, we can only speculate. However, we’re crossing our fingers that Geoffrey the Giraffe, the Toys “R” Us mascot, might be hosting the show (even though we’re unsure about the logistics). Additionally, we hope they’ll use the iconic “I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us Kid” jingle as the theme song. As of now, there’s no confirmed platform for the Toys “R” Us Family Faceoff, be it linear or streaming, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed to learn more in the coming months.
