Review: Buzz Lightyear Toy Story Collection edition
October 7, 2009 @ 1:17 am
Ever since the 1995 release of Toy Story by Disney/Pixar, various companies have tried to replicate the actual movie version of Buzz Lightyear, and each one has failed miserably. If they got the size correct, something was horribly wrong with the features (meaning, nothing worked like it did in the film). And if they got the features correct, then you can pretty much bet that the toy looked horribly disfigured (silly is a good word to describe them) or the size was just insanely miniature. So it’s with much joy that I report to you (like I have in the past a few times), that Disney finally came to their senses and is now selling a Buzz Lightyear action figure toy that is true to the film as part of their new Toy Story Collection (made by Thinkway Toys).
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that I’m a huge Buzz Lightyear fan and I’ve been waiting what seems like forever for a true Buzz Lightyear toy to come out so that I can be just like Andy in the film. Disney saw my enthusiasm for the new Toy Story Collection and graciously sent over a unit for me to play with. I am convinced that this is the toy that should have been made in the first place and I’m only left wondering why it took so long for Disney to get it all right.
Read on for the rest of the review.
Great deal on Buzz Lightyear 12″ replica

Just a heads up that Target.com has the 12″ Buzz Lightyear Toy Story replica toy for $50 rather than the suggested retail price of $65.

I MUST HAVE THIS TOY!!! Watch as John Lasseter demonstrates the brand new 12″ Buzz Lightyear action figure which is available now at the Disney Store for $65. [via]
12″ Buzz Lightyear is straight out of the movie

Here is the first hi-res image of Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story Collection coming from Disney/Pixar this coming Fall. Buzz Lightyear is an actual-size 12″ action figure that will be selling for $35 at all toy retailers very soon. This action figure has 30 sayings programmed into its core and is highly poseable.
I wasn’t exactly all too into the remote controlled Buzz Lightyear because its motions were so jerky. I would much rather have a poseable action figure on my desk than a robot that I have to use a remote control for.
From what I’ve read, the toy above has no karate-chop action, which sorta sucks because that seems to always be the thing missing from these various Buzz Lightyear toys. I mean, it’s advertised in the Toy Story film, so why can’t the toy be true to the movie?
Overall however, this is the toy I want. Click on the image above to see the toy UP CLOSE.
The Toy Story Collection
July 23, 2009 @ 6:49 pm
Hot on the heels of the news that MattyCollector will be carrying the replica Buzz Lightyear action figure starting August 3rd, is the news that the Disney Store also has replica action figures from the film available for pre-order.
The new toys (6 in all, shown above), are the closest representations of the toys from the movie that any toy maker has made so far. The collection will be called “The Toy Story Collection” and consist of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bucket O Soldiers, Aliens, and Rex, and R/C. The toys in this collection are all proportional to each other and you can get a sense of how large they are by knowing that Buzz Lightyear is 12″ tall and Rex is approximately 13″ tall.
AWESOME. I want Buzz Lightyear and Rex the most.
Deal of the Day!
