A family of innovators will be pitching their invention, "Plaliens", tonight on the all-new hit show, "The Toy Box".

Melanie Cruz, a Bakersfield woman, along with her family run the company Dream Innovators. Cruz says the soft and opposable Plaliens help spark a child's imagination, and that the toy could be the next big extra-terrestrial alongside E.T. and Alf.

 

Cruz will be appearing on 'The Toy Box' tonight on 23ABC at 8 p.m.
