I need that Buzz

Buzz looks decent, but at first glance the hat on Woody looks strange.

These seem out of nowhere. Happy to see more though!

Buzz looks good.
Pity I can't say the same about Woody. The hat just doesn't work.
Maybe it would have been better to have him without the hat...though I'm sure some would then be annoyed it didn't bring the hat. It's a lose/lose scenario with that I think.

I NEED those printed wing plates for a spaceship.

I feel that Brickheadz is going to be more popular and sought after than any before it... (excluding Comic Con ones, of course!)

I wonder if they toyed with the idea of having a transparent face shield and helmet for Buzz. Or at least a helmet with visor retracted? The way he came out it looks to me like a face drawn on an eggplant.

Woody to Buzz: "You are a TOY*!"

*based off a toy that was featured in a movie, that is itself in a movie / TV show in that universe.

@meisterdad I agree with the eggplant-with-a-face statement! Also, nice pun in the first sentence of your comment... was that unintentional, or are you TOYing with us?

These aren't bad, but I'm still gutted that Lincoln Logs lost the Toy Story license...

From the numbers, there are at least 4 more Brickheadz to come in 2022 (numbers 154 - 157).

No Forky, Claw Aliens, or Green Army Men?

There's a new buzz spin-off movie coming out soon, so maybe a tie-in with that one.

WOODY! BUZZ! Shame no Rex, but my custom one won't be lonely!

That's not Bo Peep! Surely it's a blond Elvis Presley? Or perhaps it's Liberace?

If you squint at Bo Peep, you can almost see Annie Potts.

I've been waiting for a Captain Rex Brickheadz, too. Hopefully, we'll get one soon to pair with the new Ahsoka. :O)

Shame Woody doesn’t come with a snake for his boots.

seeing as it's Brickheads, why not give Woody a square hat?

I think they mean Rex the toy dinosaur. And as much as I’d love to see Captain Rex as a BrickHeadz I’m not sure how good his helmet would look...

I’d buy the aliens in an instant! (Maybe 3 in a set for $15?)

I hate BrickHeadz in general, as it is. In my opinoin its an unnecessary category (as like Mixels, but they were funny and imaginative). So I do not like it. But regardless I can imagine that somebody likes this theme.

Just too much purple, I cannot help thinking of a granny with a blue rinse and striped jumper and stockings! I do like Woody though, just not sure what he is holding? Jessie is probably more important than Bo Beep, but probably saving for a 2nd wave with Mr Potato Head.

I think he's holding a whip.

Okay, now THIS is getting closer to a BrickHeadz that would tempt me. Not there yet, still; but Toy Story (especially 2) was a huge piece of my childhood, so they're definitely playing to the right nostalgic tune for me!

Although that said, you know the thing that I find kinda awkward with adapting Buzz into Brickheadz style? It gives him *a forehead*. Seriously, the Toy Story (and BLoSC) Buzz doesn't have one, his head just ends abruptly almost directly above the eyebrows. I never thought about that aspect of his design as a kid, but I just noticed it somewhat recently; and now that I have I find it a little weird to see a version which gives him substantial head space above the eyes...

Or maybe it's based off his appearance in the upcoming Lightyear movie, where he's been designed to more human proportions?

I'd reckon a lasso, potentially this piece: https://brickset.com/parts/design-99253

I don't recall him ever using one directly in the movies - whenever he does something similar, such as in the climax of 2, he used his pull-string instead of a separate rope - but several pieces of the Woody's Roundup memorabilia in 2 depicted him using a lasso, so it's a fairly relevant accessory for the character ^^

@ambr:
Jessie has never really been behind the wheel, when it comes to any Toy Story plot, plus she’s romantically linked to Buzz. TS4 focuses more on Woody, Bo Peep, and Forky, so Jessie barely featured in it compared to TS2 or TS3. Branding for TS4 gave Bo Peep equal status with Buzz and Woody, likely because she’s the only female protagonist in TS4 with significant plot involvement.

Lasso, that's the word I was looking for!

154 & 155 is part of the Pets Series, French Bulldog & Puppy along with 152 & 153's St. Bernard & Puppy.

has Woody got the young man's name written under its boot?

@ambr : They're not going to do Potato Head because he's a Hasbro property.
