How can this toy look worse quality then the Buzz Lightyear toys from 25 years ago
Hot take: it doesn't.
This is a rose colored glasses / getting old moment for hex bears. Most of the toys for buzz in the 90s were also super shitty and low quality junk. Some of them were good but there have always been tiers of quality in toys. Look at various versions of optimus prime.
I'm sure there will be a super high quality line of figures for this movie as well. Biggest difference is inflation is a bitch.
Oh fuck.
Just waiting for Sora to encounter the two different Buzz Lightyears and all of the live action reboot versions.
Where the fuck does the game in the toy story world that is another reality fit into this?
Level 1: Symbols accurately describe reality.
Level 2: Symbols inaccurately describe reality.
Level 3: Symbols claim to describe reality.
Level 4: Symbols no longer claim to describe reality.
Was about to ask where this comes in on the sign and simulacrum scale

So they completely changed the way the character looks, because I guess Jay Leno is bribing them or something
But then the toy doesn't even look like the dumb new character remake they did, it looks like someone MSpainted this onto a character figure and then drew on it with sharpie
The pullstring talking doll from Planet of the Apes but its a Buzz Lightyear doll. "You maniacs!"
Right? I thought the same thing. I still don't think it would be 'good' but this movie feels more like a reaction/dissection to a hypothetical unironically earnest Buzz Light year movie where its just pure space opera and he's the uncomplicated hero, space ace style.
I don't really care that the movie contradicts lore from toy story 1 and/or really think that is the biggest sin of the movie...but yeah...this isn't the movie Andy watched and you'll never convince me it was.
I remember watching the cartoon as a kid. Is this another gritty reboot or does it still have a light-hearted feel to it?
i would guess its more like guardians of the galaxy than totally gritty.
Gives me a headache to think about it (or I'm dehydrated idk)
That looks terrible. The OG Buzz Lightyear toy was really cool with lots of articulation and moving bits.
Once you pile enough self reference on top of itself, it just collapses into a singularity and that’s how symbols are born (maybe I haven’t actually thought hard about so please don’t kill me, philosophy chapos)
