Toy Story Collection

Has anyone seen these things yet? Their movie accurate replicas of the toys from Toy Story. Downside? Woody dosen't say "Someone's poisoned the water hole!", Buzz dosen't have Karate-Chop Action and his helmet dosen't go all the way down...and the $50-$60 price tag, which makes some like Bullseye and Rex just insane. I defenetly plane on definitely on getting some of them (How can you have a toy collection without Toy Story toys?) and the Jessie doll will without a doubt be given to my niece once she turns four.

Heres a couple of video reviews of them:

Sherif Woody:


Bucket O' Soldiers


Buzz Lightyear


Mr. Potato Head *Not part of the Toy Story Collection, but still cool.


Jessie the Yodelin' Cowgirl


Slinky Dog *Not part of the Toy Story Collection, but still cool.


Bullseye

I have got Toy Story fever right now. I have been waiting for a definitive line like this ever since the original toys came out.

So far I have Woody, Buzz and Bullseye. And the Disney store hamm.

Here are my thoughts on them.


TSC Woody- Definatly not worth the $50 price tag. But, I got mine for $25 at a toys r us sale and I think the price I paid is more suitable for a toy with the features it has. I agree its not 100% accurate. (Even the face isnt the same as in the movie. The TSC has teeth showing while Woody in his ''toy'' mode just has a closed mouth smile in the movie.) But, all in all, a great toy and a must have IMO. And it doesnt have Tom Hanks voice. Its his brother doing it. Which is a major letfown for me. 5/10

Buzz- Compared to Woody, this IS worth the $50 price tag. Im a little biased as he is my all time favorite character but this thing is amazing. Everything about it is just great. The face, helmet *swoosh*, accurate wings, little lights staying on, And it even sounds like Tim Allen. He looks awesome displayed in his box especially after you put the little wings on it. 9/10

Bullseye- Mainly got him because I want a complete Woody's Roundup gang. Plus its super hard to find. So I snatched it up as soon as I saw one. The quality control is very poor on these though. Make sure you try to buy in the store and not online as there are tons of issues with this toy. And the stnd SUCKS. 7/10


Disney store Hamm- While this is not apart of the Toy Story Collection line, it is pretty movie accurate. It is a Disney store Exclusive. I heard Thinkway toys was going to make a TSC Hamm but cancelled because this one is pretty much the ''definitive'' one. Its simply a bank. No sounds or gimmicks. And it has a very accurate likeness. 10/10

I plan on getting Rex soon when I have the money. I think I will wait for a more accurate tater head as Thinkway said they will be releasing another one with shorter legs and seperate eyes.

Thanks for mentioning that Hamm bank. I'll defenetly pick him up since I love Toy Story, pigs are my favorite animal and Cliff Claven is my favorite character on Cheers.

I thought of getting Rex, but it looks like he'd just get on my nerves and I don't think he's worth $50.

Yeah no prob Hamm is a must. And Rex is overpriced but he is like my 2nd favorite next to Buzz so I gotta get him.

i was close to diving into these and picking up the whole set but at the end of the day $50 a pop is just a little to much for these things...I believe the RC car was like $75... It's bad enough I feel guilty when I indulge in collecting any toy line... i just wouldn't feel right spending that much...they are pretty cool tho
