AIBU to not understand the point of Tonies Boxes...

...and think they are a waste of plastic. I just don't see the point of them, you can use a phone or tablet to play stories, or even a cd player. As far as I can see you have to buy a new plastic figurine for each story which seems like such a waste considering all you can do with them is play a story. I've seen them for sale in my local 'green' shop but I've scoured their site to see if they have any green credentials and can't find any, am I missing something?
