With the release of Disney•Pixar’s THE GOOD DINOSAUR into theaters last month, a milestone was celebrated – 20 years of Disney•Pixar animated feature films. It was November of 1995 when audiences first stepped inside of Andy’s room to begin a decades-long series of adventures with Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Rex and an ever-expanding crew of toys – some familiar, some not. With TOY STORY as fresh as ever for new generations of audiences (fueled by cool shorts like the recent TOY STORY THAT TIME FORGOT), Disney Consumer Products has partnered with Mattel for a new collection of 20th Anniversary Toys – one of which (Andy’s Room Buddies 7-Pack Figure Gift Set) arrived here at Rock Father HQ in a surprise box – packed alongside THE GOOD DINOSAUR Galloping Butch Figure by TOMY… Pixar’s past and present in figure form.
From Mattel’s TOY STORY 20th Anniversary Collection, the Buddies 7-Pack Figure Sets are a great Holiday Gift idea, with sets based on Andy’s Room, Al’s Toy Barn and the Sunnyside Daycare all represented. Each set features some exclusive figures, along with bringing home characters from all three TOY STORY feature films. Cool sidebar: Tom Hanks just began voiceover work for TOY STORY 4 this week. The film is currently slated for a 2018 release.
The Galloping Butch from THE GOOD DINOSAUR is already a best-seller at Amazon and other retailers, the perfect-sized beast for little hands to have big adventures. With sound FX and voice clips, kids can press a button on Butch’s tail to activated not only his leg-stomping galloping action, but some chomping excitement as well.
All of these great toys can be found at retailers everywhere right now.
