Vintage Talking Buzz Lightyear 1995 Factory Defect Variant Toy Story RARE

You are buying a very rare factory defect variant brand new, original movie Ultimate Buzz Lightyear talking action12"  figure from the Original Disney/Pixar movie, Toy Story.  (1995) 


****** FACTORY DEFECT VARIANT BUZZ ******   (From original factory case in 1995)

This electronic figure speaks in the original movie voice of Tim Allen and says: "I am Buzz Lightyear!", "I Come in Peace", "To Infinity and Beyond!", and "Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue !". This figure features pop out wings, retractable helmet, push button laser lights and sounds, comes fully poseable and has green trim that glows in the dark. This item is brand new, and has never been removed from the original box but is a factory defect variant. Has some wear on the outside corners of box. Left back bottom corner is a bit crunched from storing.

This is the Original 12 inch electronic talking Buzz Lightyear. This item was made by Thinkway Toys and is item number 62809 and produced in 1995-96. The batteries may need replacement due to item age. Figure takes 2 AA size batteries which may need replacement due to age and long time storage.

  This is from the original Thinkway Toy line and is based on the 1st movie.  Disney and Pixar wanted an action figure line after the unexpected success of Toy Story. The major Toy makers all refused as they felt there was not enough time to manufacture such a complex toy line . A small, newer company , Thinkway, based in Canada took on the task and the rest is history. Today, those original Toy Story pieces are very collectible and hard to fine especially the larger box type figures such as the 18" woody, T-Rex etc.

****** FACTORY DEFECT VARIANT BUZZ ******

During the manufacturing process of the talking Buzz, due to the rush and tremendous demand some of the Buzz 12" electronic pieces had manufacturing defects.  Apparently in the legs of the Buzz, there was a weakness in the thigh area of the figure which allowed the springs to come thru the plastic. This happened in a few batches at factory level and resulted in a Buzz that had springs coming thru the legs of Buzz over time. We do not exactly what happened but we have a few cases of the Buzz where the springs are in various stages of poking thru the plastic skin of Buzz on his thighs. These factory defects can be seen thru the factory sealed package and in various stages of development.I have included a few pictures of Buzz  which have this factory defect. Except the springs arent popping through the thigh.Please see photos for more details.
