If Buzz Lightyear’s “serious” stint in Lightyear didn’t exactly launch your imagination to infinity and beyond, don’t worry—Disney and Pixar—in collaboration with Robosen—have brought Buzz back to basics with the first-ever “living” Buzz Lightyear robot. Yes, the real Buzz is here, and he’s packing more technology than a spaceship headed for Star Command.
This Buzz isn’t just here to stand around looking heroic. Thanks to 23 smart joints, 75 microchips, and over 3,000 components, this Buzz can walk, talk, and probably even steal your thunder at family gatherings. With lifelike movements and expressive facial animations, it’s like Pixar sprinkled some magic dust on this robot and said, “Go on, be awesome.”
Not only does he come with his signature retractable wings and laser arm cannon, but this Buzz has over 200 audio clips and 34 commands, meaning you can relive all your favorite Toy Story moments without having to rewatch the movies. And if you ever felt like becoming Buzz’s co-pilot, you can even take control of his actions through an app. You direct; he delivers.
Moreover, you can sprinkle some of your personal touches too. Buzz comes with two footplates, including one with Andy’s iconic signature and another blank one—just in case you feel like staking your claim on this ultimate Space Ranger. Whether you’re looking to show off some advanced programming skills or simply watch him strut his stuff, Buzz has all the options covered.
Buzz might weigh 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg), but let’s be honest—he’ll weigh even heavier on your heart with all the nostalgia he brings. If you’re up for having your very own hero from the OG Toy Story team, you can grab this robotic legend for US$599.
