Toy Story 3 - kids, a bugs life


I recently purchased this for my 2 year old son who is in to anything Toy Story.....for now.



It's a very nice alternative to the $25+ toys that they also sell. Especially when smaller kids' interests swing considerably every few months. It's nice to have an inexpensive option for him before Christmas and especially when Disney is trying to squeeze as much money out of the new Toy Story 3 release as they possibly can.



Pros

- Seems very durable. The arm and legs swivel but there aren't any tiny part or other moving pieces to break

- Price. Although I've seen this cheaper, it's not too expensive to pick up as an impulse buy to get your child something that they will think is the coolest toy in the world.

- Size. It's only about 4 inches tall or so. The more expensive ones are very large and seem too big IMO. My son moves the arms out and flies Buzz around our living room in one hand.



Cons

- Price. Had to put this here for those looking for cons. It can be found cheaper at some stores.

- Limitations. If you have a child who is older, this may not be a good toy. Younger kids have limited imaginations and this toy is perfect for the simple flight around the room or just sitting in their lap while they watch the movie. If you child is older, I can see this toy being a bit boring.



Overall I give this 4 stars. I knocked it a bit for amazons price being higher than a lot of stores I've seen it at (for those super-cost conscious shoppers). I also took a bit off for it's age limitations (this can be a pro for some and a con for others. Take your pick). I wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars.



Overall, a very cheap and simple toy.



To infinity and beyond! BUZZ LIGHTYEAR Toy Story 3 Posable Action Figure - Disney / Pixar

This is a simple toy but perfect for kids with great imaginations, for growing imaginations and for alternatives to expensive models that will not stimulate the childrens imagination and allow it to grow. My son has the larger version with all the sayings also and forgot about it quickly and it went in the toy box. He "imagines" more with this toy and it will get a lot more use for a lot less price!



Remember to compare how many hours of play you'll get out of a toy to the cost. For example, he's probably played about 10 hours total so far with this toy and it only cost $12 so about $1.20/hour compared to the 7 hours with the $70 toy at about $10/hour. Definitely no comparison so far. He's only had both about a week and a half but you see my point. Hope this helps when you are shopping! :)

El juguete es identico en figura al de la pelicula, lo unico que le faltaria es movimiento en todas sus articulaciones , solo puede mover los brazos y piernas en dos sentidos, mi hijo tiene 3 años y esta maravillado, pero siempre trata de hacerle mas movimientos.

AL momento que hice la compra pense que movia todas sus piezas pero es como lo dije anteriormente deberian poner mas detalles de estos juguetes. - Kids - A Bugs Life - Toy Story 3 - Astronaut'
