The Toy Story 4 Officer Giggle McDimples Pet Patrol Playset has been out for a while now, I picked one up at Amazon UK. Aside from being a pretty damn close replica to the on-screen version (a few minor colour differences and the door opens the incorrect way) it also presents a great opportunity for stop-motion animation!
To that end I whipped up this little animation below replicating Giggles’ introduction.
Really cool animation! I love how you made it look like she was bouncing like she did in the film!
But has anyone noticed how weirdly this toy was distributed? Like it was available for like a few weeks and then stores like Target and Walmart stopped stocking it completely, and you can only buy her online. pretty weird.
I don’t have the Disney on Ice Lenny but I have this one. I think the Disney on Ice is closest to scale but this Lenny is a pretty good size. Better than the BK Lenny to scale with the others.
Hey all,
I just joined the forums officially after browsing it occasionally for years. I became very interested in assembling an accurate Toy Story replica collection since I saw Toy Story 3 at the age of 7. I’m 16 now, and I have been a Toy Story fan all my life, but the 3rd really sparked excitement in me to collect. So I know this place isn’t as active as it used to be, but with the release of Toy Story 4, a bit of new life has been breathed in the forums, as has my desire to continue collecting. So I gotta ask…what’s everyone up to now? Anyone got their eyes on anything specific? New releases to anticipate? I’d be delighted to get a conversation going, as nobody I know IRL has the same passion for this as I do.
In addition, PixarPost has a moderately active Toy Story 4 merch thread that a couple users from here post in from time to time. It’s no where near as active as the FB group but the admin there is super active and it’s a pretty nice place.
hi all, new here but i’ve been reading this thread for the past 2 weeks and i absolutely love it. extremely dissapointed that barely anybody posts here anymore. i wonder if people like wampar, slink and kyle are still around. anyway, back to the topic. i was wondering if anybody here has made replicas of the scrapped toy story 3 toys, the one where buzz is recalled to his factory. there was a group of other recalled toys and i was wondering if anybody made toys of them. sorry for the poor wording btw.
sorry for the double post but has anybody tried to recreate combat carl? im thinking of doing it, but i wouldnt know how to sculpt the mustache. combat carl is actually based on a pre-existing gi joe head, which i would probably use for him. patchesofpride.files.wordpress. … arljoe.jpg
that lenny’s eyes are not accurate, instead of the black parts of his eyes letting you see through them, the white parts are replaced with a see through part
In the film, Lenny wasn’t a real pair of binoculars, he was only usable to other toys. His eyes were only googly eyes, which I believe was represented through the Burger King toy.
It has definitely been ages since I’ve seen anyone post here.
Since Toy Story 4, my collection has grown decently with me adding all the new TSC toys along with the real posing figure Buzz Lightyear I mentioned a few pages back. In addition, I headswapped both the TSC Woody and Buzz to have the updated TS4 heads. Woody looks more accurate than Buzz but I like this alternate head for Buzz.
Woody makes a huge difference. It seems almost accidental that they finally gave us an accurate face, since Buzz has a similar expression but it bears little resemblance to any of his “toy mode” faces. Thankfully Buzz has constantly had decent faces; Woody’s open mouth expression was an odd choice in conjunction with the limited paint apps.
Updated collection with all the TSC wave 4 releases + the Thinkway Deluxe talking Bo, Mattel Tin Toy Forky and Giggles, and the Brazilian Baby Brink Gabby Gabby (surprised I haven’t seen anyone else on here talking about her but I found her from Instagram and …she’s expensive as hell to import)
I’ve got some Combat Carl Jrs I found on ebay from some Chinese seller for suspiciously cheap that look about the correct size and after they arrive I think I’m finally finished with the collection, at least until Toy Story 5 inevitably happens or Thinkway decides to finally make a TSC Trixie.
Moving Woody down from the “Andy” shelf to join the TS4 characters was more emotionally draining than it should have been…
Crazy to think I’ve managed to completely fill up an IKEA Billy bookcase, and even crazier that they all used to fit in a cabinet 1/4 the size
