Buzz Lightyear Variations

Since the successful introduction of the Buzz Lightyear toyline, the character has received many variations in subsequent issues, extending into real life.

Original
This miniature Buzz Lightyear came with a "Happy Snacky" fast food meal purchased by Andy, and bared Buzz's likeness, except with a larger head. Compared to the main figure, the fast food figurine's features were significantly limited, explaining that he could only make a punching motion when his head is turned. Appears in the short Fast Food. Seen in a commercial for next generation of Buzz Lightyear figures, Cyber-Sonic Buzz boasts over 15,000 word combinations. Appears in the short Buzz Becomes Obsolete. Seen in a commercial for next generation of Buzz Lightyear figures, Battle Scar Buzz has the added feature of "ultra battle damage" in addition to a new red spacesuit. Appears in the short Buzz Becomes Obsolete. Seen in a commercial for next generation of Buzz Lightyear figures, Sky Runner Buzz has the ability to actually fly, a known limitation of the previous model. Sky Runner Buzz also has a neon green color scheme. Appears in the short Buzz Becomes Obsolete. The originally planned replacement for Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 2 was Ultra Buzz, who was a sleek, metallic version of the basic Buzz Lightyear, whose wings pop out from the side of his jetpack (like the real-life toy). Ultra Buzz also had a utility belt, which contained a grappling hook (which he later awarded to Andy's Buzz after defeating Zurg. While Ultra Buzz was ultimately excised from the final film, the character eventually evolved into Utility Belt Buzz, who retained his utility belt. Despite not appearing in the film, Ultra Buzz became a real-life toy, also going by the name of Techno-Gear Buzz. Ultra Buzz was likely inspired by the real life chrome Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear. Released in conjunction with a Buzz Lightyear promotion at Poultry Palace, one of the possible figures to collect with a kid's meal is a Buzz Lightyear figure. The fast food figure is much smaller than the actual Buzz, and has a much larger head. This figure also can roll on the wheels on its feet. The figure is seen on Display at the local Tri-County Poultry Palace that Bonnie and her mother attends, however, the employee informs her that they are out of the Buzz Lightyear figures, when disappointed upon receiving a Zurg Belt Buckle. Appears in the short Small Fry.

Real Life
The first major variation to the Buzz Lightyear figure by Thinkway in 1996, Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear features a new silver and black paint job, as well as various lights and new voice phrases. The figure also adapts the wrist communicator used by Buzz in the film, as well as a disc launcher, which can either be mounted on Buzz's jetpack, or held in his hand. Made by Thinkway in promotion of the first film, Buzz Lightyear: The Infinity Edition carries over all the features introduced with Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear, but puts Buzz back in his classic spacesuit. The Infinity Edition also features new phrases. Made by Mattel in 1998, the Holiday Hero Buzz Lightyear (accompanied by matching Woody) is adorned with a metallic, Christmas-themed spacesuit. In addition, he also says Holiday-themed variations of his usual phrases. As a variation of the original Buzz Lightyear figure, Thinkway released a modification in 2002 (along with Woody) that features Buzz in a patriotic stars and stripes theme.
