New line of Toy Story toys to be released

[tinkermonkey]

Proving I don't just cover this section of MC for the round up...I also look for news too!

Disney Consumer Products has teamed up with Thinkway Toys and Disney Chief Creative Officer and Toy Story director John Lasseter to introduce you to the new line of Toy Story Definitive collectibles. These highly detailed replicas are movie-accurate in almost every single way from their stitching to the boxes they come in. The Toy Story Definitive collectibles are fully articulated, include features such as sound effects and even come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

More information about the toys as well as a great video hosted by John Lasseter himself can be found here. Lots of great tidbits about the toys and some neat things about how John feels about the toys.

Another neat thing about the video is that it's the first of seven in a series about the toys as well as the first video on Disney Consumer Products new YouTube channel - www.YouTube.com/disneyliving

I know!! When I was at the Disney Store recently I nearly bought some toy story school supplies - because it was the LGM as erasers in a claw machine! I tried to even find a picture online to post here and came up empty. Bummer!

I have all of them except Buzz. He wont be released for another 3-4 weeks. So far they're fantastic.

I think he means the $199 Ultimate Buzz Lightyear.

Technically, the one you bought is the complement to the rest of the collection.

Disney Toy Story Collection: Buzz Lightyear Action Figure by Thinkway Toys -- 12'' | Disney Store

Where were you lucky enough to find him?



Here are some pics of the ones I just received.







I love how the boxed woody looks over his shoulders in a jealous rage.

thanks for the link.

i just added the video for Rex (in addition to Woody) and included additional details about each as well as some images.

probably the best way to see them all and to keep up to date on the series is through this link: Thinkway Toys | StitchKingdom.com

Toys'R'Us and Target for $50.

Where did you find Rex???

I posted some of my photos in the Recent Toy Acquisitions already but since this thread is all about the Toy Story collection, I'll go ahead and post them here.

amazing photos my man. seriously. I've seen toy story 1 60+ times so I can recognize each scene you created with audio. so there fully appreciated

I got all of my toys on disneystore.com. I just pre-ordered Ultimate Buzz and with the labor day sale it saved $60. I'm surprised ToysRus got buzz so early. Cause when I ordered my Ultimate Wall-e I think i was one of the very first one's to receive him. How is Buzz? Good? Do you have any older buzz's? How does he compare. I have my original 1995 buzz right now. The one without the glow in the dark and i thought he was pretty good already. I really didnt care for the glow in the dark paint version. the paint seems to chip. I'm pleased with woody, but I also like my original woody cause he is fully posable which is film inaccurate and awesome at the same time.

did you guys see this Ultimate Buzz video? http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/704c8254
