Disney Releases Five New Toy Boxes, Including One (Bio)Shocking Choice

Update: Disney Infinity executive producer John Vignocchi has clarified the genesis of the new toy boxes via Twitter.

To clarify, the downloadable Toy Boxes that have been created to date for @DisneyInfinity were done by the guys at Avalanche and some in QA
— John Vignocchi (@JohnVignocchi) September 5, 2013

Original Story:

Disney and Avalanche Studios have rolled out another set of Toy Box playgrounds for Infinity players. These are free, and this set has something for platforming fans, Disney park aficionados, Star Wars junkies, and even fans of Bioshock Infinite. Yes: Bioshock Infinite.

The five new toy boxes cover a range of experiences, but the one that caught our eye is called "Toy Columbia." It's described as "a sprawling city in the sky with infinite possibilities." We reached out to Disney, and a representative told us that this creation is user-generated content.

This comes in advance of Disney's first Toy Box challenge, which will be focused on race tracks. That event will kick off on September 12, 2013. For more on Disney Infinity, check out our review. You can also see videos for the Sky Gauntlet, Jungle Cruise, Trench Run, and Blue Breakout.

Our Take
Disney is taking a risk tying its product so closely to 2K Games' Bioshock Infinite. There is some confusion about whether this is an official creation or just user-generated content distributed by Disney. Either way, if 2K thinks there's brand confusion, it could make waves. Best to download this now, in case it has to get removed.

That is so weird. But awesome...but guh, still too pricey.

I don't think there will be any problem with this. First off its user generated. Second if this cuts into bioshocks profit margins than bioshock is doing something horribly wrong. I just think its odd.

I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Doesn't sound to smart

It's nice to see a user-generated Infinite theme. But I'm surprised Disney is promoting it. Either way, it does look pretty neat.

This is a game that I feel like I am going to end up buying soon. Why Disney, why?

I am so glad my youth wasnt wasted on video games. Kids and parents today have got it rough. Give me my good ol GI Joe figurines and a box full of crackers and I will be the happiest demented kid you will know.

Amazing. I wish I had enough creativity to enough begin building something as awesome as this!

Am I the only person who thought that Columbia's issues of racism fit perfectly with Disney?
by Robertman2/Kira Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 01:05 PM

That cool.

Comstock' doesn't let Frozo into Toy Columbia!
by TurdFurgy Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 01:54 PM

That's pretty cool.
by The Gizza Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 02:30 PM

Hopefully there are no problems because Toy Columbia looks great.
by TheLaughinManFL Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 02:47 PM

When they add start wars characters to the game they'll have to update that Trench run.
by John Wrek Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 03:43 PM

Wow, it'll be awesome to see Columbia there.
by PandaAngel Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 03:54 PM

Hmmmmmmm...I'm not sure what to think of this.It seems very intristing though.I guess it's okay?
by Chas Reinhold Thursday, September 05, 2013 at 04:32 PM

How is this a big deal? Little Big Planet user generated content has been doing things like this since 2008. If they're not charging for it, I don't see the issue.
