New Mattel ‘Lightyear’ Toys

Mattel has officially announced several new toy tie-ins to the Lightyear movie!

While New York’s Toy Fair was cancelled this year, it’s nice to see that new products are still being introduced, as they would have been at the event. The website Action Figure Insider has shared these new toys, along with prices and descriptions. All bullet points below are quoted from that site.

Jetpack Liftoff Buzz Lightyear Figure

Kids can fuel up Buzz’s jetpack with water using the included Fuel Cell squeeze bottle, and when the figure is lifted off the ground it activates a real vapor trail as well as glowing light effects and sounds.
When the figure lands back on the ground, all these features are automatically deactivated.

Imaginext Lift and Launch Star Command

SRP: $79.99 | 3-8Y | Available: Fall 2022

Kids can “blast off” into hyperspeed, just like Buzz Lightyear in Disney and Pixar’s film Lightyear, with this Imaginext® Lift & Launch™ Star Command interactive playset from Fisher-Price®.
Space Rangers-in-training can help Buzz Lightyear reach hyperspeed by “launching” and “flying” the XL-14 spaceship from the Star Command tower.
Need more power? Kids can send Buzz Lightyear up the elevator and across the extendable catwalk where they can attach extra engines and a fuel cell to the ship. Prepare for a Lightyear-sized lift off!

First off, I’m definitely gonna need Sox. And judging from the Izzy and Morrison toys I mentioned in my last post, there are still more toys to come than what’s listed here. But just going by what was introduced today, I did notice a few more little movie details in the descriptions. (These bullet points are my own observations.)

Buzz’s signature spacesuit is called an Alpha Suit.
The thing he’s been carrying in all the book cover illustrations is officially called a fuel cell.
His ships are called XL-01, XL-02, XL-07, and XL-15.
The Zurg bots seem to be called Zyclops.

Again, I’m not going into any sort of detailed analysis, since I’d likely say something “wrong” in the sci-fi realm. And I know there are a LOT of opinions out there about what’s “right” as far as these toys go, too. But for me, I’m just excited to see them, and can’t wait for this stuff to start popping up in stores. It’ll be great to see Buzz’s face plastered everywhere this summer (at least I hope it will be). It’s always more fun to have something to hunt for when you’re out shopping!
