The idea to turn the artwork into an actual bookend came from Munky King toymakers and will be released in an edition of 10. So obviously, supplies are limited which is a shame because this is something that I think would sell like mad.
Kidrobot just unveiled a new Munny-like vinyl toy named Trikky that looks like a cat. No word on pricing yet, but hopefully it won’t be any more than Munny.
I’m always up for new developments in the Toy Story line of toys and here is one that I’ve never posted about before (although I’m sure to most of you, all of my Buzz Lightyear toy posts sound the same). This here is the Ultimate Buzz Lightyear, a roughly $130-$150 toy coming this Fall to Toys R Us, Walmart, Target, and the Disney online store. It measures 16″ in height making it one of the largest Buzz Lightyear toys on the market and only slightly taller than actual movie size (movie-size is said to be about 12″).
The Ultimate Buzz Lightyear is actually a fairly advanced remote-controlled robot that responds to people. It is programmable via remote control to move its hands head, arms, and legs and it features multiple smart-sensors for sound and motion detection.

Here’s a video of the Ultimate Buzz Lightyear in action.
