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 :-).
Just go and get the Toy Story Collection Buzz Lightyear from Thinkway Toys. Its the closest you can have to the Buzz Lightyear figure seen in the movies. Its also labelled as a deluxe replica figure. Yes its missing the karate chop action, but thats just it. Other than that, this figure is the best one you can get, plus it will come in the spaceship packaging as seen in the movie! I have it and I think its worth it!
It is physically impossible for the karate chop action and the laser light to work on the same arm- the wires running from the chest cavity for the batteries would interfere with the karate chop action. The sole Buzz that has a karate chop action has No other features- he doesn’t talk, his knees don’t bend and none of his buttons are actual buttons. Buy the Toy Story collection Buzz and – well, manually move his arm for the karate action.
it is physically impossible for there to be an exact replica of the buzz from the movie toystory, but the closets one to the actual character the Toy story collection buzz has everything execpt for the karate chop action and can be purchased online at target.com, yes it is 50 dollars but well worth hte money. I’ve been searching for 7 years and i havent found anything closer to the character in the movie than toy story collection Buzz. :)
