Here we have the latest wave of Mattel's 4"-5" Toy Story basic figure collection—featuring Trixie, Sheriff Woody and Blue Flame Jetpack Buzz! This line of figures has been going for years now (dating back to around the Toy Story 3 time frame) with many packaging updates, multi-packs and re-releases. There have been many figures released under this line, however these three are brand new for 2017!
In years past, I wasn't quite as interested in keeping up with this collection of figures; but lately I've been more into it and getting the new ones (and re-releases) that stand out to me. I can't say I've come even close to getting them all, but below are links to the ones I do have if you want to check those out as well:
- Small Fry Buzz & Zurg
- Gaming Rex
- Buzz with Belt & Grapnel
- Raygon & Angel Kitty
- Toy Story That Time Forgot Collection
- "There's a Snake in my Boot" Gift Pack
- Toy Story of Terror Gift Pack
I thought it was really cool that a Trixie figure was released in this wave, since a classic looking version of this character hasn't been released by Mattel in action figure form since THIS collectible 2-pack years ago. Yes, there was the Toy Story That Time Forgot version in 2014, but that one was all decked out in Battlesaur armor.
This Trixie figure looks really good and has some fantastic detailing! Still, I wish a full sized, movie accurate version of this character would finally get a release.
Trixie Classic
I thought the "Sheriff Woody" figure looked really neat as well, so I had to go for him (even though he's a very basic design). I like the new pose they gave him and he ultimately looks great on display!
Sheriff Woody
The Blue Flame Jackpack Buzz is super cool and is most definitely inspired by Toy Story 2's exciting opening scene (one of my favorite Toy Story moments). My only thought here is I wish his facial expression looked a little less happy and more determined (if we are going off of that opening scene), but that's a small nitpick. It's a pretty awesome figure overall and one that's never been released!
Blue Flame Jetpack Buzz
This line of figures is almost exclusively found at Toys R Us these days, so head to yours if you're looking to track any of these three down. I found them back in July while visiting CA, but have seen them here in my home state of CT several times since (most recently just a week or back). They're also currently available online on the Toys R Us website: HERE for Trixie, HERE for Woody and HERE for Buzz. Retail is $9.99 each.
Or if Amazon is more your speed, I included some direct links below. Happy collecting!
