Who is Toybox?

Robyn Slinger is the first character we meet, upon opening the first issue of Top Ten . Riding the train to work, she meets several of her fellow officers, including Jack Phantom and Irma Geddon , as well as Captain Traynor - formerly Jetman - and her new partner, Jeff Smax . Initially dealing with a case of spousal abuse, the two later join King Peacock and Synaesthesia in investigating a murder scene, where Robyn discovers the flying saddle used by the victim, Stefan 'Saddles' Graczik. Returning to HQ, the force eventually moves to stop a 'goose-juice' manufacturing plant, revealed to be headed up by Professor Gromolko , one of the chief architects behind Neopolis back in the late forties. Upon interrogation, however, Gromolko shoots himself dead. Returning home after an uncomfortable encounter with Jack Phantom, Robyn talks about the events of the day to her father, whom, suffering from Alzheimers, doesn't respond. After an incident with a 'Zen Cabbie' - wearing a blindfold whilst driving - Robyn reveals he was the same Cab driver who got her to work the previous day. With Detective Synaesthesia, the two make the Cabbie take them to 'where they're supposed to be'.
