In the “Toy Story” film series, a restaurant called Pizza Planet has a crane and claw arcade game. Inside are little green men. These alien creatures are promotional toys that wear space uniforms with the Pizza Planet logo.
The original little green aliens that appeared in the “Toy Story” sequels spawned another entire race of little green aliens in disguise. If you’re looking for a classic “Toy Story” alien toy, take a look at the Disney Parks Bucket of Green Men Toy Story Aliens. It contains 25 little green men and a spaceship.
The original Toy Story aliens were little green men, called LGM. These creatures from space are all short and stubby and each has green skin, pointy ears and three eyes.
Then someone decided to mash up a new group of creatures with the familiar little green men. They blended LGM with well-known Pixar characters to create a new line of toys called Alien Remix. The number and variety of “Toy Story” aliens has been growing ever since.
There are a dozen Alien Remix characters merging the lovable three-eyed aliens with favorite characters from “Toy Story.” You can choose a favorite, add to a set or collect them all.
Sheriff Woody is a vintage cowboy doll that is the leader of the toys in Andy Davis’s collection. Woody looks out for every member of the group. Along with his girlfriend Bo Peep, Woody is devoted to helping lost toys find their owners. Woody is taller than all the other toys and dresses like an authentic Wild West sheriff, with cowboy boots, cowboy hat and a cowhide vest with a star.
Buzz was originally a rival of Woody’s but turned into a lifelong friend. Buzz is a space ranger who is a skilled warrior trained in the martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. Buzz is brawny, armored, electronic and wears a jet backpack.
Wall-e’s name stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class. Except for a cockroach named Hal, Wall-e has been hauling Earth trash alone for 700 years. He became curious and now keeps everything interesting he finds. His most prized possession is Hello Dolly.
Remy is a blue rat with a passion for food and a dream of becoming a professional chef. Also known as Little Chef, he is no typical rat. He walks on his hind feet because he handles food with his front paws and he likes to keep them clean.
Russell is a Junior Wilderness Explorer and wears the uniform proudly. Russell is overweight, curious and determined to do the right thing. Russell earned every merit badge there is when he earned his last one: Assisting the Elderly.
Boo is a 2-year-old toddler who is scared of no monsters, except maybe Randall. Her real name is Mary Gibbs and she has pigtails. Boo can talk but it’s mostly gibberish. Boo is curious and advanced for her age.
Edna is a fashion designer. She is very tiny and has a bulbous nose and wears heavy, round black glasses. Edna feels superior to every other fashion designer in the world. She has a constant desire to create new things.
Anger is one of five emotions that live inside the mind of Riley Andersen. Anger is shaped like a brick with red skin and red eyes. He wears a white collared shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a zigzag necktie. When provoked, his head bursts into flames.
Most small plastic and vinyl “Toy Story” alien toys cost about $10, but some cost as much as $30. Most plush “Toy Story” alien toys cost $10-$30, too.
A. The best way is to have your child do it for you. The other way means you have to keep on checking, because new Alien Remix toys are being introduced all the time.
A. Almost, except for an occasional collectible porcelain statue.
