Toy Story 12″ Buzz Lightyear Electronic Room Guard If intruders don’t want to get on Buzz Lightyear’s bad side, then they’d better stay outside. And who better to protect your galaxy sector (or bedroom) than the leader of the Universe Protection Unit himself, featured in the hit movie? Standing almost 14 inches tall on his black-and-silver pedestal, our rugged plastic hero is a battery-powered (two AA demo batteries included) protector, as well as a swell conversationalist. His trio of voice sampler buttons elicits anything from “I’m Buzz Lightyear; I come in peace” to activation of the motion control sensor. Get too close while Buzz is in activation mode (“The Intergalactic Security System will be armed in 5 seconds; please leave this sector!”), and he’ll not be shy about telling you that it’s “Time to blast off!” He’ll stay on the job, too, until deactivated using your secret button code sequence. Not that he’s all talk: additional buttons activate laser sounds and spring-release jetpack wings, too. Articulated arm joints and tilting face shield suggest that if there’s anything Buzz can’t do, one might have to search infinity and beyond to find it. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: More poor Chinese contruction
I would gladly pay double for a toy not made in China. Their motto must be “as long as it looks good.” I bought this for my son this Christmas 2008. I am glad I took it out of the box and made sure it was working before I gave it to him because I found that the laser light didn’t work. I had to resolder the circuit board! It took an hour just to put it back together!! While I was in there I muffled the speaker with duct tape. Its way too loud. To boil it down, all my 2 year old son wants is for the laser to light and make noise, and for Buzz to say “to infinity and beyond”. But this toy is not like the old ones. You will find that the “room guard” feature is so obnoxious that you will want to return the toy due to that alone. All I wanted was the normal Buzz, not all this extra junk. The dumb black base Buzz is standing on can be unscrewed and thrown away. And one last thing, good luck understanding the “room guard” instructions. They are written all over the box in separate places. The whole thing is just pathetic really. The toy is not so bad if you take the batteries out.
Customer Review: Buzz Will Protect Your Room
I got this buzz lightyear room guard when I was 4 years old now I am 10 years old.I clened my buzz lightyear room guard so it is nice and clean but his front helmet is missing and his stickers came off but I don’t need the stickers all I need is the helmet and it is clen condition.I read reviews about this buzz it says that it can be removed from the stand but my mom would not let me because it might be ruined but it is okay thats how it is.The retractable wings stay on and is activated by the red button not by itself.The batteries are still working and I like the over 35 phrases because this buzz lightyear is my favorite toy still this is a cool toy.
