Does anyone know if there is an exact replica Buzz Lightyear action figure just like the one from the Toy Story movies?
I’m talking about push-button karate-chop action, red LED “laser beam”, space ranger voices, and exact height and size dimensions as the Buzz Lightyear action figure in the movies.
All of the current Buzz Lightyear action figures I’m seeing for sale are missing one or more of the critical features mentioned above. Any help would be appreciated (or any links to the closest thing to the movie action figure you can find would be great too).
Considering the fact that Buzz was a 3D model in the movie an exact replica couldn’t exist outside of digital formats.

The new “Toy Story Collection” version zach noted above is the closest they’ve done yet. It has pretty much everything (light-up wingtips!) except the Karate Chop Action, which is featured on a cheaper figure also just released.
As noted by dan, though, there are things about the movie Buzz that just aren’t going to happen on a physical toy. For one thing, we’ll probably never get a fully-retracting helmet because making interior space for it would render the figure’s head structurally unsound and likely interfere with the wing-button mechanism.
The closest thing I have found is Toy Story Collection Buzz Lightyear. However, when we got it home, it did not have karate chop action. Even though it was the one he said he wanted because it glowed in the dark, his wings light up, his voice is the real one and it is the same size, he was very disappointed there was no karate chop action–the damn toy cost $53.49! The only Buzz I found with karate chop action was 34.99 but the voice was a little off and some important features were missing. Good luck in your quest, I hope you find what you’re looking for :-).
