Since the successful introduction of the Buzz Lightyear toyline, the character has received many variations in subsequent issues, extending into real life.
Original
- Happy Snacky Buzz
This miniature Buzz Lightyear came with a "Happy Snacky" fast food meal purchased by Andy, and bore 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 shorts Alter Egos and The Invasion.
- Cyber-Sonic Buzz
Seen in a commercial for the next generation of Buzz Lightyear figures, Cyber-Sonic Buzz boasts over 15,000 word combinations. Appears in the short New Improved Buzz.
Battle Scar Buzz
- Battle Scar Buzz
Seen in a commercial for the 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 New Improved Buzz.
- Sky Runner Buzz
Seen in a commercial for the 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 New Improved Buzz.
- Ultra Buzz 2000
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 and a remote control wake-up system, also going by the name of Techno-Gear Buzz. Ultra Buzz was likely inspired by the real life chrome Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear.
- Poultry Palace Buzz
Main article: Fun Meal 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 visit; however, the employee informs her that they are out of the Buzz Lightyear figures when Bonnie is disappointed upon receiving a Zurg Belt Buckle. Appears in the short Small Fry.
