On Disney Infinity, can you play with two identical figures in the same toy box?

My daughters are talking about buying two Tinker Bells to play together in the Toy Box, but I don't know if this is possible and don't want to waste money if it's not.

Can you return unopened figures? I think the game will recognize the figure even if it is still boxed. You could buy one and try it and then return it. I know Best Buy has a good return policy in general. I'm not sure about the specifics for this item.

Yes, I confirmed that it's possible (Wii U).

I was even able to play the Incredibles play set with two Mr Incredible figures as player 1 and player 2 at the same time.
