Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear Operation

One of the best film tie-in toys we’ve come across in ages! Everyone’s favourite Space Ranger comes down to earth for a change in this new twist on the classic version of Operation from the 1980s – Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear Operation.

Toy Story 3 sees Buzz Lightyear grounded in a daycare centre and reset. In this Toy Story 3 Operation game, Buzz has come back from a mission with faulty ‘funatomy’! That’s a dodgy spacesuit to you and me. Players need to bring out their steady hands and restore Buzz to his usual, fully-firing mode.

Achieving the mission objective is a touch trickier than it sounds! There are a total of 12 delicate little tasks that need attention. Use the operation tweezers to remove some deadly galactic acid, and the burned-out blaster that’s causing all sorts of problems. Move carefully! Touch the sides and you’ll set off Buzz’s laser sounds and give him an asteroid attack. In a departure from the original, kids aren’t simply required to remove parts. They need to fix them as well. His communicator needs special attention, and his fuzzy fuse isn’t up to much either.

The best toys combine entertainment with education, and Buzz Lightyear Operation is no exception. It blends the fun of the Toy Story phenomenon with hand-to-eye coordination techniques. Kids won’t have a clue they’re honing their motor skills and advancing their own development. Genius!

You’ll need 4 x AAA batteries (not included) to bring Buzz Lightyear Operation to life. What you will get in the box is a set of operating tweezers, game cards, and of course the operating table featuring an illustration of Buzz and a storage drawer for his funatomy parts.

Suitable for children 6 years and up, the Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear Operation Game is available at around £15.99.
