Wow, good work there, MIKE WAZOWSK-E! I can’t believe there’s such a similar version of the Monkey in real life. That toy is scary.

#3

Wow. That must have taken a while. That’s really neat; good job!!! :smiley:

#4

In what way is Zurg based of the Six Million Dollar Man?

#5

The Zurg-vision in the back of his head is from the Six Million Dollar Man doll, which had bionic vision.

#6

Wow! Good work, such amazing similarities!

#7

For the monkey and Chatter Telephone, I think you should just leave them off the list, since they’re intentionally the same toy, but with minor modifications.
Also, I think there was a plastic Glow Worm, which looked mroe similar to Bookworm.
For the list, the torso of Roller Bob is based off the blue-suited G.I. Joe Action Pilot, and the wheel of Jingle Joe is based off of a Melody Push Chime.

You are one dedicated Toy Story fan my friend! Thanks for uploading these pictures. I have to say, I like Toy Story’s Woody WAY better than the inspiration!

#9

Right…but that doesn’t mean Zurg was based on him, just because they have one similarity. Zurg is more likely based on Darth Vader.

I’d also say that Sparks isn’t based on a Transformer, since he doesn’t transform and doesn’t look like a Transformer.

#10

I’d say Sparks is just a generic robot, not intentionally looking like one toy. But this list is still amazing.

#11

Buzz Lightyear looks much more like he was based more of the 1980s Action Man Space Ranger figures (Action Man was the UK’s release of G.I.Joe) rather than the 1960s Joes (even though they had the original Action Pilot - Astronaut)
