I’m a big fan of past formation arts featuring Pixar characters and wondered if we’d ever see any based on the studio’s latest pics.
Well, have no fear, Square-Enix (Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series) is here with the Disney•Pixar set, part of the Disney Formation Arts line! Basically, they’re 3D scenes capturing the essence of a particular franchise… in toy form. This set (numbers 16-20 in the Disney series) includes Toy Story 2 (Buzz Lightyear), Cars, Ratatouille, WALL•E and Up as seen in this article’s picture!
Each PVC is finely crafted for display purposes with a Pixar logo base. The collection as a whole is truly captivating but my favorite would have to be Ratatouille’s sculpt, the animation suspended in time is set up perfectly! You can check out the rest of the Disney Formation Arts over at Square-Enix’s online store. Expect the Pixar series to land in March of 2010, I’ll definitely look into getting a few.
So what did you think of these licensed creations? Which one’s your favorite?

These are gorgeous!! Leave it to Square to put out such nice merchandise ;). I’m impressed by the detail on them all, but I must say, I like the ones for TS2 and WALL•E quite a bit. Another interesting bit of merchandise in this style, are these sort of “globes with stands” I saw at the Disney store a while ago. They had them featuring various Disney characters and also Pixar ones (the Up one was fantastic). I don’t know if you guys have ever posted them before, but I’d love to see an update featuring them!
