Now I bought this toy at my local Disney store, but I think this page would benefit from having at least one review on it
As a child of six when the original Toy Story came out, I had both Buzz and Woody when the toys were released. However grateful I was for that, its hard to admit the originals lacked the coolness seen in the films, this Buzz Lightyear IS the Buzz you see in the film with one omission - the karate chop action (though the one feature I never cared for)
The most striking thing once you get Buzz is the packaging - if you remember the awesome spaceship he came in in the films, they've done a fantastic job of recreating this (even down to the cardboard wings!), you'll get a certificate of authenticity with every Buzz too!
Onto the action figure itself though, he is proportioned wonderfully and he looks exactly like the Buzz we all love - he has many more points of articulation than the original toy released for the first film, his arms and legs swivel and rotate - his waist is on a ratchet and covered entirely in soft rubber (no hard plastic this time) which moves around, up, down and side to side
He has his brilliant Star Command flip up communicator in his arm, which when opened and closed makes wonderful sound effects, his laser has the same 'pulsating laser light' sound you know from the film also
The highlight of the toy visually however - is his 'high pressure space wings'. They release at the press of a button to yet more sound effects and spring out faithfully to show off an impressive wingspan, now this Buzz has lights on the tip of his wings, one green, one red and they take turns in blinking
Its worth mentioning that he has a couple of different modes, his 'space ranger' mode, and his 'toy' mode which are activated by his blue and red chest buttons respectively (the green is for the interactive mic feature). His space ranger mode is like having him come alive and he'll even complain about his eyes being sucked out of their sockets if you open up his space helmet (which comes complete with wooshing sounds), his head is motorised so he'll look around and talk - to you, about star command and even The Evil Emperor Zurg which occasionally prompts a laser blast
In his toy mode his head will remain static, his speaker will go quieter and tinny and he'll say a range of quotes you'd expect from a toy, (his sound effects such as the helmet wooshing, arm communicator and space wings will remain)
This is a pretty cool toy whichever way you look at it, and any child would really love it, but for those of you who grew up captivated by this particular Space Ranger, he now truly is the Swiss army knife of all toys, and as a result also the perfect replica
Perfect Buzz Lightyear
Thomas had described it perfectly.
This IS the authentic Buzz Lightyear that we can see in the movies. I think that nobody will create a better version.
The Ultimate Buzz Lightyear is incoming and it seems to be alife (but, for example, it has not wings), but this is the best toy version.
Buy it now!
