Originally, when a screen test was being made, producers wanted Buzz to be voiced by Billy Crystal, and used audio from the film When Harry Met Sally.... He turned the role down, and after seeing the first film, he said that turning it down was "the biggest mistake of his career". A running gag in the series involves XR being constantly blown up, but this proves to be little more than an inconvenience rather than a serious problem.
High Repairability: XR was originally reactivated and prepped by the LGMs as Buzz's new partner after they saw the space ranger brooding over the loss of his last partner, Warp Darkmatter. The Little Green Men "solved" the problem by arranging for Buzz to have a new partner that was not only artificial (and therefore was never alive and thus also cannot be "killed"), but also an extremely repairable robotic unit, regardless of how much damage XR sustains in battle. And true enough, the LGMs demonstrated to Buzz the robot's amendable construction by first blasting XR apart with weaponry and crushing what was left of his body with heavy industrial equipment, only to completely repair XR immediately afterwards and in record time. XR himself has been known to conduct repairs or improvements on his own body after receiving harm or alteration from unfriendly parties, and could even control detached appendages after he was literally blasted apart by enemy fire. In an early version of Lightyear, Sox was originally going to look and act way more cat-like (according to concept art) in which he would look more true-to-the-word to real life ginger cats; in addition, he also had no collar, had yellow eyes, and his body and tail had stripes. According to storyboard artist Dean Heezen, some additional cat-like things Sox could’ve done was stretch, stand on hind legs, ambush, and itch. He would’ve also coughed up hairballs, and he also would’ve had retractable claws and actual fangs. He even had tapidum lucidum, aka Night Vision (an animal's way of seeing in the dark) whenever Buzz or if any of the Junior Zap Patrol shone a bright light on him. [1] Buzz Lightyear is a meetable character at all of the Disney Parks and Resorts, located in Tomorrowland and in Toy Story Land. He is often accompanied by the Aliens. Tim Allen reprised his role using one of his archival recordings in the 2018 Walt Disney Animation Studios film Ralph Breaks the Internet, where he repeated his famous catchphrase.
When Sox greets Buzz, he says his lines that are similar to Baymax from Big Hero 6 which are, "Hello, I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion". Furthermore, Sox follows alongside Mo, Izzy, and Darby in a plan to rescue Buzz who is captured by Zurg. Just as they enter, Sox detects two Buzz signals (consisting of Buzz and Zurg - the latter who is revealed to be an older version of Buzz), planning to triangulate in a plan to help the Junior Patrol to find Buzz and rescue him from Zurg. Later, Zurg crushes his own Sox who attempts to escape with Buzz, confronting him while competing in a plan for Buzz to obtain the crystal for the Armadillo's fuel. You know, the guy's supposed to be some kind of evil genius, and the best he can come up with is a ventriloquist act. What's next, evil juggling?"

Just as the Armadillo prepares for hyper speed, the ship could not launch, due to the fuel crystal being ejected from the ship. As Buzz attempts to grab the crystal, he takes on the lone Zyclops chasing his ship, which it grabs the fuel and then takes it to Zurg. Zurg, who captured Buzz and took him to his ship, passes by the Zyclops who hands him the fuel crystal, which Zurg explains that the robots who work for here cannot say Buzz's name but instead Zurg's name. Later, Zurg summons two red Zyclopses to capture Buzz after he opposed when he feared that Zurg performing any more hyper speed actions would erase the timeline. Two gray Zyclopses in the control room notice Buzz equipped with the fuel crystal following Old Sox in a plan for Buzz to destroy the ship. In May 2008, NASA and Disney announced that an original Thinkway Toys Buzz Lightyear action figure would fly aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-124. The 12-inch toy was to remain on the International Space Station (ISS) for six months, where it would take part in an experiment and appear in a video downlink from space whilst the Space Shuttle delivers the largest module of the space station – Kibō, the Japanese Experiment Module pressurized section. The flight was arranged as part of the Toys in Space program that began in 1985. [15] Toy Story' Line Helped Father, Son Survive in Water for 15 Hours". Fox News Channel. Associated Press.

Buzz and Woody rescue Lotso from a shredder and help him reach an emergency stop button. Lotso abandons them, however, and they fall into an incinerator. Buzz and Jessie join hands and face the approaching fire, prompting everyone else to do the same. The three toy aliens operating a claw rescue them, and they make their way home. Andy donates them all to a little girl Woody met at the daycare, Bonnie. When introducing Buzz, Andy describes him as "the coolest toy ever". As the toys settle in at Bonnie's house, Buzz finds himself performing a romantic rumba with Jessie to the Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" as the film ends; much to the amusement of the other toys. With Buzz captured, Darby asks Sox to know if he could help fly the Armadillo, which Sox tells her that there is no fuel inside just before she gets into an argument with Mo, blaming each other for getting in this situation. However, when Izzy notices the door open inside Zurg's ship, Izzy tells Darby, Mo, and Sox to enter inside the ship to go into space and help rescue Buzz just as Sox follows alongside the Junior Patrol.
The name Zyclops is parody on the word Cyclops, a one-eyed giant from Greek mythology. Also like the cyclops, Zyclops have one red glowing eye. As you know, normally I'm not one to panic, primarily because Buzz always comes to the rescue. But we're currently fighting Buzz, so who's coming to the rescue?" In 2009, Lego began releasing its Lego Toy Story line, which included a 205-piece Buzz Lightyear action figure. When the figure is completely built, it has an articulating head, arms, hands, torso, legs, feet, wings, and visor. [18] Lego also created a Buzz Lightyear minifigure. In 2016 a new version of Buzz Lightyear was created for the Lego minifigures Disney series. This minifigure featured new prints for the legs and arms of the minifigure and removed the Star Command logo from the chest of the torso piece. [19] A simpler version of this minifigure appeared in the Toy Story 4 line, with the Star Command logo reinstated but without prints on the arms or side of the legs. [20] Two new minifigures were made for the spin off movie Lightyear with two sets featuring his regular space suit, with one set including an alternate head and hairpiece included to have him unmasked, and a third including one of him in the orange and gray suit he wears at the beginning of the film.

In October 2009 and 2010, to coincide with Toy Story 's 3-D re-release and the release of Toy Story 3 respectively, Thinkway Toys released a replica Buzz Lightyear figure based on the figure in the Toy Story movies as part of their Toy Story Collection series of toys and Disney released their own version of a replica Buzz Lightyear figure. Both Buzz Lightyears were much more accurately detailed than the other Buzz Lightyear figures and both had features similar to the figure seen in the movie with similar pop-out wings complete with blinking lights at the wingtips, laser, wrist communicator and the two figures had over 65 and 30 phrases with an original voice respectively.Regarding the design of Lightyear, Toy Story director John Lasseter said he wanted to create an action figure in the line of G.I. Joe for the film and decided upon a spaceman figure. [6] Lasseter attributes his design to the influence of Apollo astronauts, in particular, their clear helmets, skullcaps, communication devices, and white suits. [7] They also strongly resemble the two robots guarding the Pizza Planet entrance, and the robots from the deleted opening of Toy Story.
XR's internal storage system contains many different items, with many of the more outlandish ones appearing to be leftovers from the time he was blasted apart by Agent Z during the theft of the Uni-Mind. Other items were likely added by XR himself for personal use, including times when he'd wish to offer said items to someone. Many are for convenience sake. The smallest group of items are Star Command Ordinance and weaponry, and a few items that even XR with his impeccable memory apparently can't remember a reason for carrying.
