With the popularity of Toy Story 3 this year, the appearance of the Toy Story 3 Blast-Off Buzz Lightyear
The Buzz Lightyear character has been in Toy Story since the first movie was released in 1995. Some parents buying this toy for their children may have even owned Woody and Buzz toys themselves. The story of Woody, Buzz and the gang was a huge hit not just when it was released 15 years ago but with the release of Toy Story 2 and now version 3. In Toy Story 3, Andy, the boy who owns the toys is all grown up and is about to head off to college. Andy puts his toys away to be stored in the attic but through some bad luck, they end up in a nursery under the control of a dictator, Lotso Huggin bear. The bear puts Buzz back into his original mode which wipes his memory and he forgets about Woody and the other toys being his friends. Instead he helps the bear hold them captive while also trying to woo Jessie the cowgirl, who also happens to be Woody’s girlfriend.
The Blast-Off Buzz Lightyear toy closely resembles the Buzz you’ve seen in the movies. He also speaks over 60 different phrases in the same voice as the character in the film. He has two different modes one being toy mode and the second Space Ranger. In toy mode he sounds just like any other toy that talks but when you switch him to Space Ranger mode he comes alive. He will even complain to you if you mishandle him. He has space wings that expand with blinking lights on each one, one red and one green and they take turns blinking. Of course being Buzz he has his star command flip up communication on his arm. This flips up and make a sound. He also has his pulsating laser light weapon.
This toy is so like the film version that it is difficult to find criticism. For the younger child in your life, you may want to consider getting Playskool Mr. Potato Head Toy Story 3 Movie – Spud Lightyear. If your child loves Toy Story 3, don’t forget about the movies.
