To Infinity - and Beyond!
After 468 days in space the 12 inch toy was taken to the ISS in May 2008 and has since then been used to film a number of videos for a children’s space education program. A NASA spokesman said the toy had kept a “relatively low profile” but clips have shown the Toy Story star floating weightlessly around the station, bumping of walls. Buzz returned to earth on board space shuttle Discovery last week as the longest-tenured crew member in space.

Andy now has grown up, he has to go to college and his mom tells him to get rid of his stuff in the bedroom: attic or trash. So Andy finds Buzz and Woody in a box and decides to bring Woody with him at the college and put the other toys in a black plastic bag for the attic. When he opens the ladder to the attic his sister shows up and he leaves the plastic bag on the floor to help her. the ladder closes and his mum walks by, sees the plastic bag and put everything near the trash out of the house…

Lego Heart Toy Story
At Comic-Con 2009 the Lego / Toy Story exhibit featured a life size Lego Buzz Lightyear as well as Lego’s new set of Toy Story Mini-figs (minature lego characters) which are to be released just in time for Christmas. With a simple search on Flickr you can see just how popular Buzz was at the conference. I’ve posted previously about the Toy Story Mini-figs.

Poll: Woody or Buzz?
I’ve always liked the sense nostalgia and simplicity that Woody portrays in Toy Story.
His ‘Bonanza’ / ‘Gun Smoke’ style swagger and his clean demeanor especially with his lady friend Bo Peep. Buzz on the other hand is more in-line with the ‘Star Wars’ childhood that I remember: His ‘Cylon’ style and his logical ‘Mr. Spock’ approach to situations and the other characters; his can-do zap-it out-of-the-sky type personality was exactly the type of toy I would have played with for hours on end as a child. Buzz in this respect is definitely my favorite Toy Story character.
