The 10 Best Toy Story 3 Toys

The landfill was a scary place where the Toy Story toys nearly met their demise; it was action packed and full of suspense. Reenact this movie scene with the Imaginext Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3 Playset TriCounty Landfill Junkyard This large and exciting play set includes three of the characters from the movie: Buzz Lightyear, Lotso Huggin' Bear and three little green Aliens.

A giant scoop dumps the action figures onto a sorter, where they are then spit out onto a conveyor belt that drops them from one level to the next. The bottom of the play set is the incinerator - but you can use the crane to save your friends!

Parents have so far given the TriCounty Junkyard about a 4.5-star rating. They love the rounded edges and easy access to the different moving parts such as the two conveyor belts, a crane with a grappling hook, an incinerator trap, trash sorter, and a dump basket. There was only one complaint about the scoop not staying put one customer's play set. She still gave it three stars despite that problem.

When you're soft, pink and furry and smell like strawberries, nobody's going to think you're a bad guy. But looks can be deceiving and that's no exception with this Toy Story 3 Lotso Huggin' Interactive Bear the leader of the toys at Sunnyside Daycare where much of Toy Story 3 takes place.

This bear is made by Thinkway Toys, the toy company that has been designing and manufacturing Toy Story toys since the very beginning. They know what they're doing! Thinkway delivers high-quality, collectible worthy toys and action figures.

So far the reviews for this toy have been overall excellent with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. The description on Amazon says that the arms are poseable arms and legs with Velcro hands, but one reviewer says that's not true. The eyes also do not close, but that's alright because the original description of Lotso Huggin' Bear doesn't include that feature. One reviewer did not like the voice, but many may believe that is part of the charm of this Toy Story toy - this bear is not as he seems!

This particular Lotso Huggin' Bear retails on Amazon for well over $50. However, if this is above your budget this year, here's a more basic 15-inch plush Losto with a high 4 1/2-star rating, and another 8-inch plush Lotso. You can have one for your collection of Toy Story 3 toys for a budget that's right for you.

Barbie and Ken made a memorable appearance on Toy Story 3. Ken stole the show with his fabulous house and all his clothes. Barbie is his perfect mate!

In the Barbie Toy Story 3 Made For Each Other Gift Set the two of them each wear the outfits they wore in the movie: Barbie with her shiny teal colored leotard and striped legwarmers and Ken with his blue leopard print shirt, with blue shorts and matching ascot and loafers. However, be aware that the accessories shown in the stock photo (gym bag, water bottle, and exercise guide) are not included with the set. You ONLY get the two dolls.

Despite this flaw in advertising, reviews on Amazon have been positive with an average 4 out of 5 star rating. Serious Toy Story and Barbie collectors remark that Barbie and Ken are not exact replicas of the Toy Story 3 movie, but they are pretty darn close. Parents who purchase this set for their children report that they are completely happy and their kids have a great time playing.

Toy Story 3 introduced us to many new characters such as the most famous Lotso Huggin' Bear and some of the more minor characters such as his body guard Big Baby.

The other new characters featured in this Toy Story 3 Figurine Play Set are: Mr. Pricklepants the hedgehog, Sparks the robot, Trixie the triceratops, Twitch the insect-man, Buttercup the unicorn, Dolly the ragdoll, Chunk the rock monster, and Stretch the purple octopus. Classic characters include Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie.

While there has only been one user review for this set on Amazon, it has been given the highest honors of a 5-star rating. The mom who bought this set says that it's difficult to find some of these figures in Buddy Packs, and while it's a little pricey, you'd end up paying that much if you ended up purchasing separate Buddy Packs. Her kid was really excited about playing with all the new Toy Story 3 characters, too!

This is a great way to collect a large set of small action figures. The Leaping Lamp also recommends many Toy Story action figures, both from Toy Story 3 and from the earlier Toy Story films. If you have somebody on your shopping list who loves action figures, it's the place to go!

Disney Deluxe Toy Story 3 Figurine Play Set has also been compared with the Buddy Packs that have come out for Toy Story. Buddy Packs only come in packs of two, sometimes three figures. So getting this 13-piece set eliminates the need to buy lots of Buddy Packs that often come with one of the figures you already have. Check out all these Toy Story Buddy Packs, both from Toy Story 3 and from the earlier films.

You're really going to love the bright colors and durable PVC material in this Deluxe Toy Story 3 Figuring Play Set. Children as young as 4 can play with them and it retails on Amazon for less than $40.

Pixar sure knows how to grab our attention right from the beginning of each of their movies. In Toy Story 3, the scene opens up with One-Eyed Bart and One-Eyed Betty (Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead) exploding a train bridge as Woody tries to stop the train full of troll orphans. Along comes Jessie riding on Bullseye to try and help, but it is Buzz Lightyear who saves everyone on the train!

What an exciting scene! And you and your child can recreate this edge-of-your-seat part of the film with the LEGO Toy Story Western Train Chase. This Rolling Western train features locomotive and three cars with opening doors, roofs and rooftop traps. Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex and Hamm as "Evil Doctor Porkchops" figures are included.

So far the reviews have been quite good with a nearly five-star average rating. This LEGO Toy Story toy is recommended for kids between 5 and 8, because the younger children might find putting together the many pieces a bit too complicated. Even older kids might need some help. This is a great starter set for train lovers and Toy Story fans will get a kick out of the figures like Buzz Lightyear, Woody and others.

Check out the other Toy Story 3 LEGO sets available on Amazon. There's a wide variety from really fancy to far more basic.

Continuing with the Train theme in Toy Story 3, this Toy Story 3 Action Links Buzz Saves the Train Stunt Set is really exciting for kids. The train set comes with 2 stunts and 1 Buzz Lightyear Action Figure to recreate the first scene in the movie that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats!

Action Links come in different stunt sets that you can combine to create chain reactions and recreate scenes from the movie.

If you have some additional Buddy Packs characters (see previous section for more info on Buddy Packs) you can integrate them into this fun-filled set.

This Toy Story 3 Buzz Saves the Train Stunt Set has a five star rating and is the only stunt set with such a good review . The reviewer comments that even though the toy pieces don't look all that durable, they're still working well even after months of crashes. She's so happy with the set, she'll be purchasing additional Toy Story 3 Stunt Sets to add to her collection.

Toy Story 3 Jessie and Bullseye Roundup PackRide 'em, cowgirl! Bring the classic scene in Toy Story 3 where Jessie leads the charge to save the day to life with this 11.5-inch, fully-articulated and poseable doll. Kids will love taking Jessie for a ride on the lovable horse, Bullseye.

The Toy Story 3 Jessie & Bullseye Partner Pack is a very popular toy this year. Imagine how good you'll feel when you see the joy on your child's face this Christmas morning when this present is ripped open!

Reviews for Jessie & Bullseye have been stellar at 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! Parents are thrilled with the quality of this toy, especially at the affordable price of $27.54 on Amazon, the best price you can find online. What you're really going to love about this Jessie & Bullseye Partner Pack is that Jessie sits on Bullseye without being held. Reviewers say it looks as if these toys have jumped off the movie screen and that these are very durable.

I wonder whether you're aware that there are lots of different kinds of Jessie dolls. The Leaping Lamp has an entire page dedicated to the yodeling cowgirl! Toy Story Jessie Dolls shows you many different varieties of this happy, sweet cowgirl from fancy schmancy to basic. All sorts for any budget!

Woody is one character you don't want to be without when you love all things Toy Story. True to the Toy Story movies, this Playtime Sheriff Woody has a pull string and he says different phrases. He is a great looking Woody, and looks much more accurate to the movie than a lot of other Woody toys out there.

Reviews for this fabulous doll have been outstanding with a 4 1/2 out of 5 star rating. While he's a little pricey, he's still less than the collectible Woody. But you're paying for quality - he's manufactured by Thinkway Toys, and they have a solid reputation for making quality toys and have been making Toy Story toys since the first movie came out in 1995. Parents' reviews say as much, too. Thinkway's Woody dolls can take a thorough beating from their kids and it still works fine, completely intact.

The only recurring complaint that reviewers make is that this doll's voice does not sound like Tom Hanks. This detail disappoints the adults more than it does the kids, so you can still purchase this Woody doll because you know your child will be thrilled with him!

We've got Woody, Jessie and Bullseye, so we cannot leave behind Buzz Lightyear! This is one cool toy.

Blast-Off Talking Buzz Lightyear has some awesome features that kids are going to LOVE. For one, this Buzz uses Tim Allen's voice, so it really is Buzz Lightyear talking and he has 30 sayings. He also has wings that pop out, an LED light laser, retractable helmet, and poseable head and arms. Blast-Off Buzz is recommended for children ages 4 and up. However, I wouldn't advise you to look just yet until you discover what others say about the Blast-Off Buzz:

Out of 38 customer reviews, the Blast-Off Buzz has a 4-star rating, which is a very good score. This is a mid to high-end priced toy, but we do get the added convenience of batteries included - how often does that happen??? Plus this Buzz looks true to the movie and sounds like him too.

Parents write in to say how much their kids adore their Buzz! The highest reviews state that again and again, as well as how great this toy looks.

So far the most complaints have been that the wings disconnect too easily and it can be challenging to get them fixed correctly. The only other common complaint is that the joints don't move very easily, and the toy is rather stiff. Some parents fear that the arms or legs will break from their child trying to pose their Buzz.

We all love choices and there are lots more Buzz Lightyear toys for Buzz fans. I would like to suggest that you come see more Buzz Lightyear toys!

Set out your characters, buckaroos, and listen for Woody's clues. Which character wears the white space suit? In the Woody's Run Around Round Up Game you'll run as fast as you can to tag who you think that is and tag it with Woody!

This game has four different games: Runaround Roundup, Group Runaround Roundup, Treasure Hunt, and Memory Roundup. Each game has four levels of difficulty, so children of many different ages can play, from 4-6 years old is recommended.

Each player is timed and Woody calls out how fast you went along with cute, encouraging phrases. So far the reviews on this Toy Story game have been five stars, and parents are pleased with how much fun their kids have. It's a fantastic Toy Story themed birthday party game, and it encourages exercise, memory and problem solving skills.

Reviews so far on this energetic, exciting game have been 5-star ratings. Kids have so much fun playing this game - they are occupied for hours and even use the figures to play make believe. Parents love it for being very durable and easy to learn how to play.

The sooner you get Woody's Round Up Game the sooner you can mark it off your Christmas list and know you've made an excellent choice.
