Planes (toy)

Planes are a line of toy airplanes appearing in Pixar's Toys "R" Us commercial and the Toy Story series, in addition to other Toy Story media.

Toys "R" Us Commercial
During the advertisement, four planes (green, blue, red, and blue) are seen flying out of a large Toys "R" Us box and landing on a nearby store shelf. All of the planes have yellow accents and are piloted by a large-headed man.

Toy Story
Andy's room featured a toy plane hanging from his ceiling. This version is primarily blue with yellow, red, and white details and does not feature a pilot figure.

When Buzz Lightyear and Woody get into a dispute as to whether Buzz can really fly, Buzz proves his flying abilities by managing to use various toys in Andy's room to sustain his "flight." This culminates in Buzz latching on to the toy plane and spinning around the ceiling before making a clean landing back on Andy's bed.

Toy Story (video game)
Multiple iterations of Andy's plane appear as an enemy in the levels That Old Army Game, Ego Check, Revenge of the Toys, and Run Rex, Run! Etch-A-Sketch warns of the hazards of the planes and trains before the first level.

Most of the planes are free-moving and leave behind a trail of bubbles in their path. There are also a few planes that are suspended from a string, as seen in the movie. The planes will hurt Woody if he touches them, but Woody can temporarily stun them with his pullstring to move past them unharmed. In the level Run Rex, Run!, the planes will fly overhead of Woody riding Rex, and will begin to drop paratroopers on them.

Most of the planes are blue, like Andy's, with the exception of a slightly different wing design. The Super Nintendo port of the game, which has a larger color palette, features red planes as well.

Toy Story 2
After the move to Andy's new house, the plane is now seen to reside on Andy's dresser instead of being hung from the ceiling.

The Toy Story That Time Forgot
Mason is seen to have a toy plane identical to Andy's sitting on his shelf. It's seen when Bonnie comes over to his house to play.
