Thinkway Toy Story Collection

Thinkway had done a great job for the Wall-E line and they have continued this with Toy Story. I am really looking forward to their Toy Story Collection series which consists of :
1) Buzz Lightyear
2) Woody the Sheriff
3) RC
4) Rex
5) Space Aliens

They are highly detailed and movie accurate.
I am eyeing Buzz and Woody. Amazingly, their packaging will also be movie accurate (for Woody and Buzz at least). Another good thing is that they will be in the range of 12". You can read more at Thinkway's website.
The only problem I foresee is the high possibility that Singapore's departmental stores will not bring these in. I am already seeing Mattel's Toy Story toys but not Thinkway. Maybe I would have to look at the speciality toy stores which will charge a premium...sigh.

Hey bro..are these any better than Mattel's? I found the Mattel version literally littering our TRU over here....I wonder if Thinkway's versions are much better?

Believe it or not, I went searching for the Toy Story Collection toys earlier today.. I went from China Square Central, to Suntec City Toysrus and the upper level shops at Plaza Singapura but to no avail. The closest I came was at Toysrus, but the Buzz figure was from Mattel and looked nothing like the Thinkway replica. I guess these series isn't available in Singapore.. I really wanted Buzz and Woody so since its not available locally, I just bought it from eBay.. Can't wait to receive them both!

Hi Imranbecks, Toys R us is actually selling Thinkway Toys story toys but it is the Buzz Lightyear & Woody talking action figure and not the Toy Story Collection Buzz & Woody which is in this review.
The Toy Story Collection has a bit more action features,Certificate of Authenticity and different packaging

imranbecks said...

Oh.. I had no idea the one at Toysrus here is from Thinkway.. I cld have sworn I saw a MATTEL logo.. Anyway, if I wanna get another Buzz and Woody, it might as well be the Collection version.. And yes, the packaging is authentic too! Since they aren't available locally, had to resort to getting it online. Both my Toy Story Collection Woody and Buzz shipped out a few days ago.. Should receive them by end of next week or so... Looking forward to my dream Buzz figure!!!

imranbecks said...

I've just received the Buzz Lightyear figure!!! Faster than expected!! Its a great figure and with a lot of playability.. But ironically, I feel its only meant for collectors and not for kids... Some photos I took of my Buzz figure..... >>> http://www.flickr.com/photos/8158897@N03/sets/72157623172328768/

Hope to receive Woody by end of next week!!!

Hi imranbecks, the mattel and thinkway packaging (not the Toy Story Collection version) looks pretty similar.
BTW, how much did you pay for the 2figures...I still have not found them. You can email me the price at xiongatoz@gmail.com.

I just came back from a vacation in Penang. I stopped by their local Toysrus at Gurney Plaza and was surprised to see the Toy Story Collection toys being sold there! They were kept in a glass display, so the only way to get it is by asking the staff. I saw Woody, Buzz and Rex from the Collection series. Didn't see RC or Bucket of Soldiers though.. The pricing for Woody is abt S$100 and the Buzz cost slightly more. Why can't our local Toysrus bring them in too!!!! Maybe you can try check out the Toysrus store in Johor, since its just across the causeway. It would seem that Toysrus Malaysia brings in the Toy Story Collection toys, its worth a try.

By the way, after much delay, I finally received my Toy Story Collection Woody.... Another excellent item.. Not as spectacular as Buzz, but its a perfect Woody replica direct from the movie!!! >>> http://www.flickr.com/photos/8158897@N03/sets/72157623293733288/

Little Plastic Man said...

Wow thanks imranbecks for the info. hopefully one day I can get these 2 figures...
