The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need answer based solely on transcript. Need determine if management describes existing capability useful for second larger purpose and started converting. Let's scan transcript. Topics: Mattel Q3 2016.

The Toy Box division was started to create toys, now a TV show?
