After all these years, I've finally added the rare Mattel
Toy Story 3 "Mean Lotso" Buddy Pack figure to my collection! I've been trying to track this one down for what seems to be forever. Mean Lotso (which features a unique angry expression; he's also holding his cane) was also released in a
2-pack with Stretch and
other multi-packs back in the day, but I missed out on him somehow. Since then, he's been real tough one to find. Once I saw recently though that he was also available in this Target Exclusive "Lotso's Mob Gift Pack", I did a little digging and just happened to find one on eBay soon after—snatched it right up for around $35 + shipping. So yah a little pricey, but not bad compared to what I've seen him sell for.
And the perk of finding Mean Lotso within this particular gift pack? There's actually an EXCLUSIVE figure included here as well, one I also didn't know I needed until recently—Glow in the Dark Sparks, who's only included in this set! So in the end, I actually got two buddy pack figures I needed here. Totally worth it. My Toy Story Buddy Pack collection is SO close to finally being complete.
Of course this set also includes Bad Mood Chunk, Twitch and Laser Buzz Lightyear, but those are figures I already have. With that said, to see the rest of my Toy Story Buddy Pack collection, be sure to visit my comprehensive "Complete Guide" post HERE (which, by the way, I have been updating with more new acquisitions—so be sure to check it out if you haven't lately!)
