I love TOy Story, Transformers, and black/grey/monchrome versions of toys, and I may still pass on this... :???:

Better lines died so this and Star Wars Crossovers can continue. Can't believe Tomy/Hasbro still turns profits.

OK, I'll admit that my wife and I own both the Mickey & Donald figures (she loves her some Bumblebee, and bought Donald at Dairycon because of his "VW Bug" transformation. I felt compelled to pick up the Mickey afterwards to add to my Prime collection).

However, we have no interest in picking up the Buzz Lightyear figure, especially if he's the same size & price-point as the previous two... Mickey & Donald are "classic characters", and Mickey's alt mode is an obvious TF reference (and Donald's is close enough for my BB-loving wife)... but Buzz's spaceship?
While there is no (obvious) TF reference, it's a nice nod to 'his' ship from the movie/cartoon...

So, if you're a big fan of Disney, Toy Story, or Tim Allen, he might be worth picking up. For me though? He's an easy pass...
