ToyFarce: S.H.Figuarts Buzz Lightyear (Alpha Suit) review and images

It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we're having a look at the brand new Buzz Lightyear figure from the 2022 movie 'Lightyear', by Bandai S.H.Figuarts. And right off the bat, what a figure! It's the Buzz Lightyear we've always dreamed about. Realistic looking, highly detailed, hyper articulated, tons of accessories,... You don't even need to be familiar with the new movie to love that figure, it's just the perfect Buzz Lightyear.





Buzz comes with 2 head sculpts (with and without his purple hood, with a slight smirk), 3 extra pair of hands, his glass dome (and parts to add when you display him without it), a blaster gun with holster piece to attach to his leg, his sword weapon with a part to attach it to his back, a laser gauntlet, and his jetpack, with different wing parts to attach to it (open or closed). Talk about different options to display that figure! You got 3 different weapons, 2 heads, a jetpack that can have wings in or out, ...











In terms of articulations, it's your usual S.H.Figuarts product. Double everything and swivels and whatnot. The chest armor part does hinder the ab articulation a bit, but nobody was going to display Buzz doing crunches or touching his toes. The shoulder parts are pretty ingenious, they have an extra part that 'hides' the articulations. The parts are easy to change, and it comes with instructions for those who might still need them (don't laugh, there are some). It says in the instructions that the purple from the hood on the head sculpts might leave marks on the other parts, but I didn't have any issue like that with it and i kept changing the head. My only with the head sculpts is that the neck part is attached to it, so I cannot just put the Marvel Legends The Hood head on it instead, since it looks like he has no neck (or that someone his tickling his neck).
