- Not to be confused with: Toy Box Launch and Introduction to the Toy Box
The Toy Box Hub is a starting area for players in Disney Infinity 3.0. It is divided into different areas, with portals that offer tutorials and mini-games, and Toy Box Hosts to help guide players.
Sections[]
The sections below are listed in the order they appear going clockwise around the center.
Toy Box[]
The center of the Hub allows players to directly access the Toy Box. The Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey Mouse Costume that only appears when players first enter the Hub is the Toy Box Welcome Host. After talking to him, the center will activate.
Exploration[]
The blue section introduces players to the basics of movement and exploration including jumping, double jumping, and ledge grabbing. It is divided into two parts; one close to the Hub Center themed after DunBroch Castle, and another behind the castle themed after an Ewok village on the forest moon of Endor. The Ewok village is only available in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows versions of 3.0. The blue mission door for this section allows players to experience various pre-made exploration-based toy boxes. The Mulan Costume serves as the Host of this section.
Sidekicks[]
The green section introduces players to Sidekicks and how they can assist players. It is themed after a farm. The Woody Costume serves as the Host for this section. The green mission door links players to various pre-made sidekick-based toy boxes like Plotting for Plants, although Sidekick Square One must be completed first before accessing the other toy boxes of this section. Additionally, players can unlock Farm Plots to use in this section: two behind the Sidekick Portal, and another one next to a nearby pond.
INterior[]
The orange section links players to their My INterior spaces. It is themed after a cottage in a forest. My INterior is accessed through the orange front door of the cottage. The Cogsworth Costume serves as the Butler for My INterior. Additionally, this section has a mountain for players to climb up. After a certain feat is completed, Rapunzel's Tower will appear, as will a pond, picnic mat and swing (which are inaccessible in the regular Toy Box). An island behind this section appears with various items from the Inside Out Play Set once the playset has been finished.
Vehicles[]
The yellow section introduces players to the mechanics of driving and flying in Disney Infinity. It is themed after Mos Eisley on Tatooine. The Luigi Costume serves as the Host of this section. The yellow mission door links players to various pre-made vehicles-based toy boxes. Additionally, players can participate in a race on a race track that goes around the Hub, or do stunts in a stunt bowl found here. Once the player has completed the Twilight of the Republic play set, Jabba's Palace appears in the far-back corner. Completing Rise Against the Empire unlocks more Tatooine buildings near where the race track start is. The fallen AT-AT set piece appears in the cavern section once The Force Awakens has been completed.
Combat[]
The red section introduces players how to fight in Disney Infinity. It is themed after Halloween Town. The Phil Costume serves as the Host of this section. The red mission door links players to various pre-made combat-based toy boxes. Random enemies will always spawn from this section after players first activate it. Additionally, players can access the Skill Tree from here after they level up a character for the first time. The dark cloud from Toy Box Takeover spawns in this section and chases the character until they either out-run it or die in it. Unlike in Takeover, the figure does not have to be swapped. Jack Skellington's Reindeer always spawns outside the Halloween Town Gate once the player has unlocked the combat section. Jack Skellington's House appears in the back once a certain feat is completed, as is Dr. Finklestein's Laboratory. Merlin's Tower appears near the castle after Toy Box Takeover is finished.
Main Street U.S.A.[]
The purple section is the most feature-filled section of all the Hub. It is themed after Main Street, U.S.A. with Cinderella's Castle in the back. Before the section is activated, the Main Street Host stands on the purple section on the Hub Center.
The Genie Costume serves as the Base Host, and explains to players about the Disney Infinity Base. He stands in front of an in-game model of the Base.
The Merlin Costume serves as the Creation Host. Talking to him causes the purple mission door to appear, which links players to various building-based toy boxes including Droid in Distress (which must be completed first before accessing the other building-based toy boxes) and Pieced Together.
The TRON Costume serves as the Toy Box Arcade Host. Talking to him will open up Flynn's Arcade, where players can play Featured Toy Boxes online. When players talk to him, the Skydome changes to the TRON Interface. The arcade is not active in the digital versions of the game (Windows and mobile).
The Scrooge McDuck Costume serves as the Toy Store Host, explaining players about Blue Sparks and the Toy Store. Players can also talk to him to access the Toy Store. When players talk to him for the first time, the Skydome changes to the Metroville Sky. He also appears in the player's My INterior.
Finally, the El Capitan Theater contains the Toy Box Theater, allowing players to play Featured Toy Boxes and watch episodes of Toy Box TV. The Jiminy Cricket Costume serves as the Theater Host.
Placing down the MagicBand on the base unlocks the Partners Statue in front of the castle.
From Cinderella's Castle, different events happen. These include a parade (either Original Trilogy themed or Disney themed), fireworks and townspeople playing with a soccer ball and throwing a frisbee.
Trivia[]
- Due to being apart of the Exploration section, the Ewok village has the World o' the Wisps terrain texture and not the Forest Moon of Endor texture.
- Terrain blend pieces in the The Sands of Agrabah texture appear in-between the Vehicles and INterior section, despite neither section being in this theme.
- Near Cinderella's Castle, there is a row of cliffs in the Toy Box Terrain theme. However, the one of the cliffs has a cliff side in the Fairytale Kingdom theme.
- The cliff edges of the vehicle section also has the issue, despite being in the Tatooine Desert theme.
- Despite being released, the Finding Dory Play Set does not appear on the in-game model of the Disney Infinity base.
- Similarly, Marvel Battlegrounds is only referred to as 'the Marvel playset'.
- Unlike the other playsets released for Disney Infinity 3.0, these two playsets do not unlock any other sections (such as Jabba's Palace for Twilight of the Republic or the Fallen AT-AT for The Force Awakens as mentioned above).
- Similarly, Marvel Battlegrounds is only referred to as 'the Marvel playset'.
- The Toy Box Hosts are slightly taller than regular townspeople and sidekicks.
