Editing Buzz Lightyear

[[File:Unused Buzz Summon Model KHIIFM.png|thumb|left|Unfinished Buzz Lightyear model from ''Kingdom Hearts II''.]]

The proposal folder shown to Buena Vista included plans for a world based on Toy Story in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. For ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' a model of Buzz Lightyear and [[Woody]] were created for a similar purpose but according to the series' director Tetsuya Nomura, there was never a chance to present them to Disney so the idea was scrapped.<ref>'''''[https://multiplayer.it/articoli/kingdom-hearts-3-intervista-esclusiva-a-tetsuya-nomura-201291.html Multiplayer.it]''''' '''Interviewer''': "''Toy Story'' finally arrived in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', but elements related to the film of Pixar were already founded in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' code. Can you tell us why they weren't inserted in those games, in the end?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I always wanted ''Toy Story'' in ''Kingdom Hearts'', and I already hoped to insert a world based on it in the first chapter. For this reason, I asked our staff to create something related to ''Toy Story'', in case we were able to get the OK from the Disney. Sadly, no possibility were given to us and so the idea never entered in the development stage."

Along with his friends [[Woody]], [[Rex]], [[Hamm]], the [[Little Green Men]], and the [[Green Army Men]], Buzz is taken away from his owner Andy and trapped in a replicated version of his world by [[Xehanort]] to experiment on the nature of their hearts. Buzz joins his fellow toys on Andy's bed, as they prepare to take on the [[Heartless|intruders]] that have appeared in Andy's room. They plan to spring upon the intruders on Woody's count; however, Buzz stops his friends, as three new toys, [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]], have shown up.

Despite his misgivings, he continues to fight possessed toys through the toy store. He expresses his doubts to the rest, fearing that he may himself be possessed and forced to attack his friends. Once all of his friends are recovered, he decides it is time for them all to return home. However, before they can leave, Xehanort appears once more, summoning a [[Marionette]] to possess Buzz, whose heart had been weakened by fear and doubt. Buzz turns his laser on Woody and attacks. Though Goofy, Donald, and Rex try to stop him, he disappears into a [[Corridor of Darkness]].

==Design==

Buzz is a Space Ranger action figure. He has a large build and a very prominent chin. His head and neck are covered in a tight purple cowl. He has a white space suit with a green chest plate featuring red, green, and blue buttons on the right side and a round red button on his left used to deploy and collapse the wings from his jet pack. His right arm ordinarily has a light bulb that flashes red to simulate a laser, however during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts III'', it is replaced by a working laser. He has a collapsible, clear dome helmet that is controlled by the purple knobs on the side of it. There is a black coil around his waist. "©DISNEY/PIXAR" is imprinted on his rear.

Buzz is a well-round fighter that specializes in attacking enemies from short to long distance. While in the alternate version of their world, Buzz is able to shoot [[Laser Beam]]s from his wrist. His lasers deal little damage, but are his only reliable way to hit floating enemies at range. Buzz's basic attacks deal damage to a small area by slamming his arms on the ground, which can be useful in clearing weak enemies faster. His [[Spinning Lariat]] ability has him use his wings to attack by spinning around while moving to deal damage to enemies.

Buzz Lightyear first appeared in 1995, in Pixar's first feature film ''{{w|Toy Story}}'', voiced by {{w|Tim Allen}}, and has since appeared in its sequels, as well as several television specials, shorts, and related media. {{w|Mike MacRae}} served as Buzz's voice actor for all Disney-released video games involving the character, and reprised his role for ''Kingdom Hearts III''.

In the 1995 film, Buzz Lightyear is the newest toy in the collection of a boy named Andy. He initially believes that he is the real Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger on a mission to defeat his nemesis, the evil Emperor Zurg, and repeatedly attempts to return to space. Woody, Andy's favorite toy, is jealous about the amount of time Andy now spends with Buzz and tried to hide him from Andy. In the process, he gets them both lost and in the possession of Sid, the toy-torturer who lives next door. In Sid's house, Buzz sees a commercial for the Buzz Lightyear action figure and finally realizes he is just a toy, sending him into a depression. With Woody's help, he regains his composure and the two of them escape back to Andy and become close friends.
