Disney Toybox

Disney Toybox: Buzz Lightyear

I unboxed Buzz a while ago, but he and my other figures got a photo shoot so I thought I’d share my mad photo skills.

Buzz is an awesome figure, but be forewarned if you’re buying him as a toy his jetpack comes off VERY easily and you will lose it and the wings will break. They’re very thin and just begging for little fingers to bend and break them.

His coloring and expression are perfect for the toy. Lots of attitude and teeth, definitely confident in his Star Command position.

He has a lot of posable joints and is easy to stand up on his own. I do wish he had a visor, definitely missing that component. I did have a bit of trouble with one of the knee joints, the plastic was too stiff or something and when it finally bent a bit of plastic that was apparently stuck in the joint came out. Still having issues with that knee but since I’m not playing with it, it’s no big deal.

Buzz is a pretty great figure and I look forward to hopefully being able to complete the Toy Story line. It is one of the older lines so anyone looking to collect will want to snatch them up as they seem them, though, wait. I forgot, they’ve made a collection including Bullseye, so never mind lol. Unless, you want an individual figure. Dum dum dummmmmmmmmm

Disney Toybox Wave 6 Speculation

So what is and isn’t Wave 6 I’m not 100% on because there doesn’t seem to be an official website and different websites say different things and the flyers included with the toys are often wrong.

I was able to find some images of the most recent flyer over on Toy News International forum posted by JayC

There are also images of sets that should already be out. I’ve seen images of the Toy Story set which makes me a bit sad that I bought Buzz already because buying a set would make so much more sense. The rumor is that Frozone and Bullseye both have their own codes so they should be released separate, but they aren’t shown on the lists or grayed out so we’ll have to wait and see. I hope we get them.

Also, wtf is that between Edna and Frozone?

The Star Wars sets look so cool (can you tell I’m a fan lol). Han Solo was going to be my next purchase and I’m glad that I waited. I do wonder how big the Falcon is and if it does anything besides look neat. We’re also shown a Tie Fighter and Pilot set that’s interesting. Other than that, though, there are no clues about what’s coming out for Star Wars next. Yoda is shown, but he should be in stores and be a part of Wave 5.

Based on these images Thanos should be out, though, I haven’t seen him anywhere. They’ve also listed him as #12 but Gray Hulk has been assigned that number. So are we getting Thanos? The speculation on the forum is that the grayed out figures are part of Thanos Black Order and I can certainly see that in the silhouettes, but come on, seriously? We’re getting bad guys before some more female characters? Ugh. Come on Disney.

There also seems to be some sets coming out from Marvel. Hulkbuster and Hulk, so if you’ve missed Hulk when he was originally released you’ve got a second chance to pick him up. Also, Spider-Man and his…Dune Buggy. *eye roll*

The grayed out images for the Disney line seem to be Minnie Mouse and Stich. Minnie makes sense since we’ve got Mickey, but I’m kind of hoping I’ve missed the guess with Stich because that doesn’t really make sense. Is there a new Lilo and Stich movie coming out? A TV show? Seems a bit random.

I’m sure it’s probably the same person or team working on all the lines, but the Star Wars and Pixar lines seem much more thought out than the Marvel and maybe now Disney. I hope I’m wrong, and just based on Google searches it’s entirely possible those silhouettes could be wrong. We’ll just have to wait and see.

As of right now I don’t have a release date for any of the Wave 6 figures.

*UPDATE*

There is going to be a Live Action Lilo and Stich movie so maybe that explains the new Toybox figure? Still seems a bit early, but at least it’s not so completely out of left field.

*2nd UPDATE*

It seems like the Minnie Mouse and Stich images were incorrect because we’ve now got Maui and Moana figures in those spots. So basically, the flyers are nice speculation but take them with a healthy dose of salt.

*3rd Update*

Based on information from the newest insert in the Miles Morales Spider-Man figure it doesn’t appear as though the Black Order or Venom is going to be in the Marvel line. At least for now. This really drives home the point that you can’t count on the grayed out images actually coming out. Though, maybe they’re just delayed.

Disney Toybox Wave 5 Thoughts

I’m playing catchup when it comes to Disney Toybox figures. My obsession started after they were already several waves in so I’m having to piece things together. From what I can tell these are the Wave 5 figures:

Yoda (No pic as of yet)

All but Yoda are showing up on the Disney Store website at the time I’m writing this, but from just my new experience that doesn’t seem odd. Their online store appears to get things later than their actual physical stores. These are currently exclusive to the Disney Store so that’s important to know. You can buy them through Amazon, because Disney has a version of their store available there, but once they’re sold out you have to go through a third party.

Anyway, this most recent wave has some interesting additions. Han and Chewie look amazing, which continues the theme of great Star Wars figures for this line. Their expressions and accessories are perfect and once again they’re from the original trilogy. They are an obvious addition to the line and I can’t wait to add them to my collection.

Ralph and Vanellope are another obvious choice for the Disney line. Wreck it Ralph 2 comes out in theaters soon so it’s understandable why these were released now. Ralph is massive and is $2 more expensive than a regular figure. His body and clothes look great, but, like the Jessie toy, I’m a bit disappointed in the face. It’s rather generic, though, it’s not as derpy as the Incredibles family. Vanellope doesn’t have that problem, she’s smirking and looking amused at something. Lots of personality there, her accessories are also adorable.

Baymax, like Ralph, costs $2 more than a usual figure because of his massive size. Dressed in his bright red armor he looks like he’d be a lot of fun to play with. He has removable wings and several moveable joints. Released along side him is Hiro who comes with a changeable hair or helmet option. He’s got a smirk on his face and is definitely rocking some personality. I assume these two were released because of the series.

The odd ball in this entire batch, for me, is Gray Hulk. I’m not sure why they would release him. He hasn’t been in any of the movies and they have certainly not used up all the characters from the franchise yet. His expression is different from the Green Hulk that was released earlier, but he is still, ultimately, a Hulk, just a different color.

Disney Toybox Figures: Marvel Line

Updated on 12/04/2022

There are a few here that I’m excited about, but more than anything I’m hoping for a Captain Marvel figure. I assume it will come out closer to the movie, though.

A lot of the figures in this line are wearing masks, so we’re missing out on my favorite part of them, the expressions. However, Doctor Strange, Captain America, Ant-Man, and Wasp are both fun looking. Doctor Strange has an awesome face and the other three just look like great toys.

As of posting this there are a few figures in this line that are no longer available on the Disney Store. Thor, Green Hulk, and Spider-Man. So if you want a complete collection you’ll want to snap those up quick if you find them. I’ve added some links to Amazon where they’re still showing up, though, definitely pay attention to price.

Thoughts and Speculation

Right now the list is incredibly sparse when it comes to female characters. Where’s Gamora? Where’s Okoye and Shuri? There are already so few female characters in Marvel and this list really highlights it. Black Widow and Wasp. No Scarlett Witch. No Valkyrie. As a female fan it’s incredibly depressing.

Surely, we’ll get them at some point. Surely. For now, we wait. And as much as I think Doctor Strange looks amazing and I hope they do a short haired, one eyed Thor, I don’t feel a rush to buy this line. Wasp definitely, but that’s about it.

It also seems a bit random with the characters. I assume they were going with the first movie for each, except with Ant-Man and Black Widow. I understand Ant-Man since his movie just came out, but why with Black Widow? Why Gray Hulk too? Thor also looks really bad. Maybe he looks better in person, I haven’t been able to find him, so I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt there. Still, this line looks like less thought was put in and it was more of a money grab, which is disappointing.

The most recent rumors I’ve seen have shown a Hulk Buster set with green Hulk, and Spider-Man with a Dune Buggy. I don’t seem to remember Spider-Man having a Dune Buggy, but whatever.

Disney Toybox Figures: Disney Line

List Updated on 09/15/2021

Obviously, there is a Disney line of the Toybox figures. And it’s no surprise that Mickey is the first figure made. What is surprising, at least to me, is that it’s the smallest line so far.

As of posting this all of the characters were available on the Disney Store, but like all of the other series if you’re serious about collecting I advise purchasing the first few in the series before they disappear. Where I can I’ve added links to Amazon, but they don’t have many from this line currently. I’ll try and keep it updated, but always check the price before buying from Amazon.

7. Moana

14. Mickey Mouse and Pluto

15. Peter Pan

16. Captain Hook

17. Goofy and Donald Duck

18. Jack Skellington

19. Sorcerer Mickey Mouse

20. Simba

21. Santa Jack Skellington

Mickey Mouse and Friends Gift Set

Stitch Rocket Ship Play Set

September 2018 Thoughts and Speculation

Of the figures released in this series, so far, I think Jack Skellington looks the best. I’m pretty ambivalent when it comes to The Nightmare Before Christmas, but that figure is awesome.

Personally, I don’t find the Mickey and Ralph figures that appealing. They’re fine, but kind of just there. They aren’t as bad as The Incredibles ones, but they are lacking in the personality of the Star Wars ones. I do think the rest in the line, so far, are really good though. The smirks on both Vanellope and Hiro’s faces are great. I also think their accessories are pretty fun.

My hope for this series is some Disney Princesses. It makes sense and it will give a MUCH NEEDED infusion of girls into the whole Toybox line. My fear is that they will keep the princess from the line for some reason.
