Buzz Lightyear is a toy based on a Space Ranger from Toy Box who is a party member in Kingdom Hearts III. He originated in the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story.
Development
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.[1] Both the world and the characters finally made their appearance in Kingdom Hearts III as party members in Toy Box.
Story
Kingdom Hearts III
Unknown to Buzz, he, Woody, Rex, Hamm, the Little Green Men and four of Green Army Men were taken from their original world and placed in a copy called the Toy Box by Young Xehanort as part of an experiment to study the nature of their hearts. Buzz decided that the best course of action was to simply wait around for the return of the humans and the rest of the toys. However, several days passed, and nothing changed; except "masked intruders" arrived to torment them, commanded by another "toy" wearing a black coat.

Appearance
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.
Personality
Buzz is good friends with Woody, who helped him through his early delusional phase of belieiving he was the actual Buzz Lightyear character instead of a toy. He is also a voice of reason and reassurance among his friends; he tends to calm the normally nervous Rex by complimenting him on even accidental help he gives and makes simply tasks seem very important to give his friend confidence. Buzz is cautious and skeptical following the disappearance of his friends; he believes the best course of action is to wait around in Andy's Room until everyone comes back. (Unknown to everyone, this caused a lot of darkness in his heart from the despair.) Despite their help repelling the Heartless. Buzz distrusts Sora, Donald, and Goofy initially, becoming more suspicious of them as Donald refuses to let Sora give a lot of answers.
Buzz's skepticism borders on the ridiculous at times; despite the fact he's seen things that normal wouldn't be possible in his original world, he refuses to believe that they've been taken to an alternate version of it. In fact, when Sora explains in detail what Young Xehanort meant by splitting the world in two, Buzz thinks he's suffering delusions like he first did and actually thinks he's the character from the game he's supposedly from. However, after seeing the Heartless possess toys, it seems Buzz seemed to become more open-minded about "supernatural" things. He even warms up Sora, Donald and Goofy, apologizing for his behavior; however, Sora knew he was just looking out for his friends.
Abilities
Kingdom Hearts III
Origin
Buzz Lightyear first appeared in 1995, in Pixar's first feature film Toy Story, voiced by Tim Allen, and has since appeared in its sequels, as well as several television specials and shorts. The character also appeared in Disney/Pixar's animated film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, and the animated television series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which both are about the character which the toy in Toy Story is based on. For the television series, he was voiced by Patrick Warburton. 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 arch-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.
Notes and references
- ^ 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." Translation provided by Yoshirai@KH13.com
