Summary
$79.99 Toniebox Lite will launch first in North America in August, giving tonies a much cheaper entry point than the $149.99 Toniebox 2 while remaining compatible with all Tonies figures.
The smaller device is aimed at price-sensitive first-time buyers and second-device use cases such as travel, siblings or grandparents' homes, with the company arguing that should limit cannibalization of its flagship box.
Walmart will take pre-orders via tonies.com and walmart.com, with in-store availability starting Aug. 22; more North American channels are due in September and October, followed by the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in fall 2026.
The lower hardware price is meant to expand the installed base and lift recurring high-margin figurine sales, especially in the underpenetrated US, where household penetration is about 12% versus 58% in DACH.
