You might guess that Lightyear is centred around a certain space ranger, and you’re right. But it’s not about the toy. It’s about the legendary character that the action figure is based on in the 1995 animated classic. It’s a sci-fi film Andy would have seen before the events of Toy Story. Seeing Lightyear likely made him want the Buzz Lightyear ac...
