The front appears bland by comparison, without any decoration. Both space rangers include printed arms though, which was a pleasant surprise. The differences between them are also surprising, as Buzz includes a bulkier laser emitter than Izzy. Moreover, the minifigures each feature alternative heads, with their lavender balaclavas or without.

PurpleDave I’m full aware of the concept of the film and its characters. I just think that, in the case of Zurg, the in-universe toy designers went pretty far from the source material. “Toy”/video game Zurg is maybe a bit taller than Buzz Lightyear, wears a cape and robe-like armor, and has fairly spindly arms. The Lightyear variant looks more like the toy version hopped into a bipedal exoskeleton for a final boss style throw down. He towers over the human characters even when they’re not in Lego form and looks like he should be fighting Buzz Lightyear’s SHIP, not Buzz Lightyear himself. Combines with Zyclops Chase 76830 and XL-15 Spaceship 76832 to bring more scenes from Disney and Pixar's Lightyear to fans' bedrooms Actually, as Classic Space was my favorite theme as a kid, I have lots of parts with said logo, but no, I have no problems with those prints at all. Again, perhaps the production facility for the US market used different ink, a different printing (or finishing) process or whatever. The Toy Story films are supposed to take place in our world, or at least one very like it. This movie is supposed to be a movie within that same world. Technically, this means these are the original versions of Buzz and Zurg, and the Toy Story characters are toys based on that film…within the Toy Story universe, at least. Bionicle went through a similar change with the movie Mask of Light, where they designed the characters to look like the existing toys had been based off them, instead of the other way around. Hair elements and double-sided heads are therefore included. Buzz's chin dimple is visible and his confident expressions look great, while Izzy also displays different smiles. The set contains various accessories as well, including laser guns, a trans-red laser beam and a fuel cell which displays crystal designs on both sides. The dark bluish grey accessory holder attached here is new in this colour.While myriad differences exist between Zurg's appearances during Lightyear and Toy Story 2, the head remains relatively similar. Zurg's distinctive yellow mouth and red eyes are certainly familiar, while his horns resemble the established design, albeit less exaggerated. This head component features extensive detail and can rotate, but its inability to look down towards the minifigures is unfortunate.

With this outer space robot toy Buzz Lightyear fans join the Space Ranger team in battling evil mech action figure villain Zurg All three characters from 76832 come with helmets, and Izzy in 76830 has the same dark-tan armored helmet. The original half-bubble from the Toy Story 3 sets does fit on this new Space Ranger armor, but I suspect Lightyear, like the four Toy Story films, will never once show the bubble half-retracted like that piece depicts. Since they’ve never made a full bubble, I have chosen to always display Buzz with his bubble fully retracted.The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures The arms are probably the most familiar aspect of this model, since their construction is quite similar to the Marvel character mechs. The ball joints provide reasonable movement, but their articulation is partially obstructed by the bulky shoulders. I am also surprised that the designer did not include Zurg's famous ion blaster, since we know that appears during the movie.

Kids help stop Zurg from stealing the fuel cell from Buzz’s spacecraft with a range of cool weapons: a wrist laser, blaster and stud shooter Fans can reimagine scenes from the film, the definitive origin story of the LEGO Buzz Lightyear toy. They’ll battle the evil Emperor Zurg a buildable robot mech toy with movable arms and legs, using Izzy’s cool stud shooter and Buzz’s wrist laser. This collectible Disney buildable toy also encourages fans to venture off script and create cool new battle stories of their own where they’ll learn that by working as a team they can beat the bad guys!Even though mechs and robots are ubiquitous, 76831 Zurg Battle presents certain distinctive features, which elevate this creation above others. The improved articulation is important and Zurg looks great beside minifigures. However, these changes also demonstrate why particular design decisions are consistent because the knee joints are restricted and feel rather loose. Nevertheless, the lime green decoration and bulky shoulder armour remain, shared with Izzy Hawthorne. These minifigures are nearly identical, integrating studs on their armour to attach wings. Only one pair of wings is supplied, but it looks excellent. The printing across the reverse includes brilliant detail and I like the dark tan colour, perhaps suggesting that the wings are still experimental. Anonym said: "I mean, it definitely holds its balance but are the bigger mechs like the Hulkbuster really impossible to design with knees?"
