Toy Story 12" Talking Buzz Lightyear

Here's the winning Buzz Lightyear action figure from Thinkway Toys. The Toy Story 12" Talking Buzz Lightyear comes with its own certificate of authenticity because of how accurately this toy reflects the character, such as the pop-out wings and communication unit on the arm. This fantastic Toy Story action figure has a light up laser button with sound effects as well as a level sensor, which knows when Buzz is in a horizontal flying position or standing vertically. Buzz will respond with several phrases to your command, with a total of 65 famous Buzz sayings.

This Talking Buzz Lightyear has gotten a majority of 5-star reviews, but averages out to a 4½-star average. What I really love about this Toy Story action figure is that not only is Buzz himself accurate, but the box he comes in is also film accurate. Remember in the first Toy Story that his box looked like his downed space rocket? This one does, too, and I think that is a really nice touch to complete the package.

Even more exciting is that the green accents on his body glow in the dark just like in the movie. WOW! All the details on this action figure are highly detailed, neat and clean. You will be extremely pleased at the quality of this toy - I certainly am.

This Buzz is also loaded with sound effects. His helmet pops open and closes with appropriate sound effects and his laser lights up and makes the appropriate laser sounds. When you fly him horizontally, he makes whooshing sounds then take him vertical again for landing noises.

The only real downside to this Toy Story 12" Talking Buzz Lightyear is the price. While it is very expensive, you do get what you pay for and owners of this exceptional figure are very happy with this product. Many customers who purchase this Buzz Lightyear are collectors and don't play with it the way little children do. However, parents still get this for their kids, and it holds up surprisingly well; it is long lasting and durable. Take the opportunity to make a Buzz Lightyear fan very happy and buy this superb action figure for a competitive price here.

Disney Advanced Talking Buzz Lightyear Action Figure

This Buzz Lightyear toy is also on the higher-end, but not as much as the collector's figure above. This Buzz also stands at 12 inches and is fully articulated for lots of different poses. A button on his wings activates a karate chop action and the arm laser button makes light and sound effects. However, do not confuse this toy with the Karate Action Buzz - that one is far cheaper and it ONLY does a karate chop, has no wings and no other features. It also got low ratings from very disappointed customers.

The Advanced Talking Buzz Lightyear, however, has a 4-star rating and has plenty of bells and whistles. This Buzz says 15 different phrases, which is just the right amount, according to parents who don't want a toy that talks too much! The wings pop out and have working lights, however, you have to put them back by hand. This Buzz also has a communicator and his helmet retracts, too. Many customers consider this one to be the next best Buzz to the top of the line collector's edition, so to get the best value for your money, order the Disney Advanced Talking Buzz Lightyear Action Figure at this link.

Toy Story 3 Blast-Off Buzz Lightyear

Want lots of action? The Toy Story 3 Blast-Off Buzz Lightyear has some awesome features that kids are going to LOVE. For one, this Buzz uses Tim Allen's voice, so it really is Buzz Lightyear talking and he has 30 sayings. He also has wings that pop out, an LED light laser, retractable helmet, and poseable head and arms. Blast-Off Buzz is recommended for children ages 4 and up. Toy Story 3 Blast-Off Buzz Lightyear has made it to the The Toy Insider's list of top 20 toys for the 2010 holiday gift guide. The Toy Insider is THE SOURCE for the hottest toys and gifts for the holidays.

However, I wouldn't advise you to look just yet until you discover what others say about the Blast-Off Buzz:
The Blast-Off Buzz has a 4-star rating, which is a very good score considering the great number of customers who buy this popular Buzz Lightyear toy. This is a mid to high-end priced action figure, but we do get the added convenience of batteries included - how often does that happen??? Plus this Buzz looks true to the movie and sounds like him too.

Parents write in to say how much their kids adore their Buzz! The highest reviews state that again and again, as well as how great this toy looks.

So far the most complaints have been that the wings disconnect too easily and it can be challenging to get them fixed correctly. The only other common complaint is that the joints don't move very easily, and the toy is rather stiff. Some parents fear that the arms or legs will break from their child trying to pose their Buzz.

So in all this toy is a toss up whether it's worth it to buy it or not. My son is getting a Blast-Off Buzz for Christmas, so I will be updating this page with a personal review after the holidays. We thought it was and if you think so, too, you can buy through this link for an amazing deal!

Toy Story 3 I Dance Buzz Lightyear

With a Toy Story 3 I Dance Buzz Lightyear you can dance with him to your favorite MP3 tunes as he busts a move on his Star Command Base. It's a really great idea and fun toy because not only does this 10-inch figure dance, but he talks, too. The Star Command Base has a built-in speaker and you hook this base up to your iPod. Play your favorite music and Buzz Lightyear dances to the beat.

I like that this Buzz Lightyear toy is detachable, so that if you want to play with him separately, you can. This figure comes with the original voice with over 10 sayings. He is recommended for ages 8 and up, so this is the perfect gift for a child that may be too young for a basic action figure, especially when the kids start really getting into music.

This toy has gotten 4-star reviews by customers who love the fact that you can remove Buzz from the base and play with him as a fully poseable toy. They also love the price! This Buzz Lightyear toy is very affordable and a nice gift under $20. Buy the I Dance Buzz Lightyear for a 42% discount here.

In the following shop below I've included a couple of Buzz non-toys, like the Toy Story luggage and the Buzz Lightyear watch. When you take your little guy on a trip, he'll feel like such a grown-up with his own travel case and if he gets a wrist watch, too, well, watch out little man!

Also included are the Buzz Lightyear toys that aren't necessarily action figures. The Search Light, Space Scope and Shake n Go are all themed around the favorite Toy Story space man.
