If I had to take a guess, I’d say that the bootleggers were basing their Buzz figure off one of the ones made for the animated series. The more cartoony face and button detailing seems to be more in line with the BLOSC style.
Now that you mention it, yeah it does look similar to the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command version of him. John Lasseter apparently hates that cartoon for some reason which might be why it's not on Disney+.
@@ExtremeWreck They hate the series most likely because they didn't do it themselves and felt it was Disney's overreach and ownership of the character and/or a mandate they had to conform to.

Disney could have made a cheap-o cashgrab of a movie tie in, but they instead gave a masterclass on expanding the concept and world building with sharp humor and writing.

You’re right on the money. I used to have most of the Mattel BLoSC line and I believe in particular, the bootleggers based this one off of a figure that came with his space speeder from the show.
Strange how Woody looks relatively on-model for a cheap bootleg, and then Buzz turned out like... THAT. Makes you wonder if 2 different bootleggers somehow worked on this same set lol
They straight up just copy-pasted the Buzz design from Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. They might as well have included a button to spout various Patrick Warburton phrases (but not from that specific cartoon).
3:51 Fun fact, this Buzz is just a scaled version of a toy for the animated series. It sat on a rocket motorcycle stylized to the shows art with a backpack unit and wings too. Weird to see a bootleg just scale it up to massive size like that, to keep the articulation/hand positions, and too add weird electronics into it.
Fun Fact: Originally, in Toy Story 4, Buzz was supposed to meet bootleg versions of himself when he was stuck in that carnival game. Had they kept that plot line in the final script, I would have loved to see that toy as an actual character. XD
I honestly wish more bootleggers would include completely mismatching models of varying quality in the same package. The juxtaposition of having a giant semi-decent bootleg next to something like satanic michelangelo would be hilarious.
I'm rather sure that the "Buzz and Woody appear grandly with their newst weapon!" line is actually supposed to refer to the chest-light (laser) going by that comic. This is probably the most effort I've ever seen bootleggers put in to try and explain the chest-light. Which makes it even more stupid that they didn't include a chest-light on Buzz and instead put them in his helmet. I love it! 🤣
On the Chinafake Wiki, there is a bootleg version of the Dancing Flik from A Bugs Life. The article stated it moved like the dancing Jar Jar Binks from Thinkway Toys.
I remember Ashens reviewing something that looked eerily similar to that Buzz, but smaller and much lower quality (for starters, it didn't have the articulated elbows and knees), so apparently some people decided that bootlegging that bootleg was a good idea, for some unholy reason.
I remember when Leokimvideo looked at bootleg Woody and Buzz Lightyear figures in one of his Dark Side Knockoff toy videos, he claimed they were nasty.
What I find particularly hilarious about this set is that, in the movies, Woody is quite a bit taller than Buzz, to the extent that they had to do the digital equivalent of trenching in at least one scene in the original. Such is the wonderful wackiness of knock-offs.
Allison: Phelous! [Phelous hurries to hide the dolls.] Phelous: What!! Allison: You're needed in the kitchen. Phelous: Knock on my door; knock next time! Allison: Yes, dear. Phelous: [pause] Did you see anything? Allison: No, dear. I didn't see you playing with your dolls again. Phelous: Good!
This is hilarious, thanks for sharing, as always. Buzz's design looks like the TV animated series one, so I wouldn't be surprised if this came after TS2 when Pixar announced another sequel. I have to say though--- those light-up red lights are pretty AWESOME.
If anyone is unaware: Buzz comes from a spinoff from TV: "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" which is why he looks so much like a stoner Woody is, as the face can suggest, a 1995 Thinkway figure that is 3.5 inches (i'm guessing. if i am wrong, feel free to correct me) I'd buy Buzz only to destroy it, as it's a piece of dog shit. Woody needs a few adjustments, but is serviceable at best. He just needs a repaint and he's fine.
@Zarrg No I was making a joke. It’s like when Buzz says, “Not today Zurg!” in Toy Story 2, but with your username, since they’re pretty similar. Sorry I should have put quotation marks.
I never expected you to cover Toy Story content and that Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command bootleg reminds me of when Ashens reviewed a similar Derp Lightyear years ago as part of a bootleg figure set, also my current boss at the greenhouse looks like the movie version of Casey Jones.
I have a theory a lot of action figures and guns use that soundchip. There was also a bootleg Shaun The Sheep toy Ashens reviewed, it played bootleg Ben 10 sounds.
That Buzz design is actually pretty accurate to the TV show version which it is clearly based on. And yeah, that “power button” is obviously supposed to be Woody’s pull string. Do you even Toy Story bro?
I certainly do miss the cartoon series. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was part of my childhood and it will always be the proper story of Buzz’s origins in my mind! This Buzz Lightyear figure clearly looks like he popped right out of that series. It’s a truly special find! Great humor in your video today! To infinity and even doofier beyond! Ha haha ha! I love your Bootleg zones Videos!
seems that an alternate universe version of Daria's history teacher Mr. DeMartino after leaving the army became an astronaut instead of becoming a teacher or his descendant did become an astronaut as they have the same bulging eye
That isn't a power button on Woodys back, it's a sculpt of the pull ring cord that would make him talk in the film. Buzz is based on a Buzz Lightyear of Star Command toy of the cartoon design, not a Toy Story version of the CGI character.
The disproportionate size difference between the two reminds me of the Nightmare Buzz level from the video game, which was based on a scrapped idea from the first movie.
It all finally makes sense. You're... You're SID! The crazy kid that mashed toys together. Ever since the toys frightened you, you've become obsessed with these toys that were abominations right from the beginning! No wonder you do these skits. You're trying to bring their torture to a whole new level. YOU MONSTER!
The torso and head is *definitely not* the Thinkway Buzz, it definitely matches the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Animated Series, which never had a full size Thinkway style figure.
I would say that they probably based their design for Buzz off of the 2001 animated series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Defunctland did an entire video on it a while back & it kind of makes me want to see the series myself now that I've seen you have fun with such hilariously bad bootlegs like these! Too bad John Lasseter hated it & it ain't on Disney+ & most likely never will :(.
Buzz is actually based off of a figure made for the "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" TV show. The biggest giveaway is the design of the buttons on his chest.
I don't think that's a power button on Woody's back. I think it's suppose to be his string. Or maybe they saw it on whatever mold they copied without realizing it was his string and repurposed it as a power button? The more cartoonish look of Buzz's face seems like maybe it's based on some toy based on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. I could be wrong.
Leokimvideo has reviewed Thomas The Tank Engine knockoffs in his so called Dark Side videos. He recognizes those toys have the same annoying soundchip.
I don't know why, but Woody's unpainted pullstring becoming just a power symbol is strangely funny to me.
If I had to take a guess, I’d say that the bootleggers were basing their Buzz figure off one of the ones made for the animated series. The more cartoony face and button detailing seems to be more in line with the BLOSC style.
Yeah, looking at pictures it definitely looks like it might be a bootleg of Roboots Buzz from that toyline.

1:38 For those who've seen the original animation test. You'd probably see a bit of irony with this pair's scaling.
It was quite a coup for Phelan to get Tim Allen to reprise his role as Buzz!
Surprised the visor opens. Seen official Buzzes whose visors didn't. That larger goatee curl, though.

That's not a Power Button, that's his Pull String.
"Bruce Campbell has announced he's retiring his Buzz Coke-Year character."
Randy Newman: "you've got a friend in me"
Robin: "I think we should be enemies."
Randy Newman: "certainly"
I woulda like it if instead of Bootleg Woody saying “Andy’s room,” he said “Phelan’s room.”
Technically more like Phelan and Allison's room now.
That Buzz Lightyear is a knock off version of his design from “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command”.

The mold for that Buzz is actually modelled after his appearance in the short-lived cartoon spin-off Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.
Lo mismo pienso yo
Funny thing about "Buzz" being bigger than "Woody": In the original draft for You Story, Woody was actually a lot bigger than Buzz.
What I find particularly hilarious about this set is that, in the movies, Woody is quite a bit taller than Buzz, to the extent that they had to do the digital equivalent of trenching in at least one scene in the original. Such is the wonderful wackiness of knock-offs.

Seems to me that the "giant power button" is actually a representation of the pull string and ring to make him talk. Still, interesting coincidence.
If anyone is unaware:
Buzz comes from a spinoff from TV: "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" which is why he looks so much like a stoner
Woody is, as the face can suggest, a 1995 Thinkway figure that is 3.5 inches (i'm guessing. if i am wrong, feel free to correct me)
I'd buy Buzz only to destroy it, as it's a piece of dog shit. Woody needs a few adjustments, but is serviceable at best. He just needs a repaint and he's fine.

must you mention this 'Ashen' every time?! also why is it a surprise? he covers bootlegs
"There's a snake in my boot, and a screw in my ass!"
- Woody, toy story 14, probably.
I remember when Woody & Buzz had weapons. It started as nunchucks but then parents complained and it was changed to a grappling hook.
time to get Andy his next childhood toy: a Good Guy doll named *Chucky*
I love this kind of oddball content. Awesome job on everything you do brother. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family, Phelous.

Buzz: fire ratatata fire fire boom ratatat
The thing is the bootleg buzz mold is from the buzz lightyear TV show
The sound chip used in Buzz Lightyear was also used in many crappy electronic toy guns from the dollar store years ago.
I have a theory a lot of action figures and guns use that soundchip. There was also a bootleg Shaun The Sheep toy Ashens reviewed, it played bootleg Ben 10 sounds.

Surely "You've got an en-e-my." would work better for the intro?
I think Buzz has PTSD.
This buzz strongly looks like his appearance in the star command show
seems that an alternate universe version of Daria's history teacher Mr. DeMartino after leaving the army became an astronaut instead of becoming a teacher or his descendant did become an astronaut as they have the same bulging eye
Yet somehow, his missions are still sabotaged by Kevin and Britney
Now that I've read this comment, I can't unsee it...
And became Derp Lightyear.
That isn't a power button on Woodys back, it's a sculpt of the pull ring cord that would make him talk in the film. Buzz is based on a Buzz Lightyear of Star Command toy of the cartoon design, not a Toy Story version of the CGI character.
Clearly Woody and Buzz's scaling is based on that one level in the Genesis game.
...which was based on a deleted scene from the first movie.
In that package, Buzz has a ..... tiny Woody.
I'll show myself out.
Buzz Lightyear! Now with "hearing all his space comrades dying on the space battlefield over the space comms" sound effects!
I think the power symbol on the back of Woody is his pull string
Edit: the mold of buzz is based on the buzz lightyear of star command figure set
That comic looked like something taken from Disney Adventures (as that magazine did have comics based on Disney shows and movies).
I'm not seeing the new Buzz Lightyear movie until they update his model to the "Marty Feldman" look

The torso and head is *definitely not* the Thinkway Buzz, it definitely matches the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Animated Series, which never had a full size Thinkway style figure.
That was just my best guess what mold they started with and modified, maybe it's just another mold upscaled.
I wonder if Buzz is based on some kind of design from a Buzz Lightyear of Star Command toy line
There's a 99.9% chance of that being the case considering his design in that cartoon is just as doofy looking.
I like the Phelous toy universe continuity, such gripping characters.
I would say that they probably based their design for Buzz off of the 2001 animated series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

Buzz has not been the same since arriving back on terra firma seeing eldrich horrors from the depths of deep space.........
@2:25, only the face a mother could love.
Buzz Actually came from a Early 2000's Spinoff Direct to VHS Buzz lightyear Movie featuring a Really cool Intro with the 3D Models in Andy's Room
Always nice to see the newst toys for the shopping season.
Buzz is actually based off of a figure made for the "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" TV show. The biggest giveaway is the design of the buttons on his chest.
I think the reason Buzz looks good as he does is because the mold was copied from an actual Buzz toy from the Star Command series.
That Buzz Lightyear bootleg toy looks like a cross between the official Buzz Lightyear toy and Earthworm Jim.
Buzz looks like he's seen some stuff.

The more cartoonish look of Buzz's face seems like maybe it's based on some toy based on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. I could be wrong.
The string is painted on the back but the power button is below that.
Phelous must be high if he didn't notice that, but now everyone is bringing it up to him for the next time.
I enjoy watching you play with toys.
5:57 that's the office first buzz toy
3:23 I believe that’s suppose to be his pullstring. Of course it would be easier to tell had they painted the back.
Hurry Phelan, you need to collect them all!
So...guess there weren't many official Animated Buzz Lightyear toys?
Well I mean, that'd make sense.
The "Fire fire!" sound sounds familiar, either you or another reviewer reviewed another toy that used that exact same sound.
Leokimvideo has reviewed Thomas The Tank Engine knockoffs in his so called Dark Side videos. He recognizes those toys have the same annoying soundchip.
