The newest addition to my son’s dress up clothing chest is not your typical costume. Rather, it’s a motorized backpack that allows him to act like the one and only Buzz Lightyear! The Buzz Lightyear Deluxe Action Wing Pack is a fun option for your Toy Story fan this holiday season.

My Son is Buzz Lightyear
Admittedly, my son doesn’t need a wing pack or any other costume to play make believe or act like his favorite characters, but having a little tool in his role play certainly doesn’t hurt. The Action Wing Pack goes on like a backpack, with adjustable and padded straps. It does require 4 AA batteries. The fun really begins when you push the red button on the front part of the Wing Pack. The wings extend to 31 inches across and announces that “Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!” Though there appear to be four buttons on the front of the pack, only one actually works and it operates the wings and the talking.
The only bad thing about this toy is also what makes it so cool – the giant wings. My son has a tendency to fall over himself and knock things down without a motorized 3 foot wingspan, so you can imagine how our living room fared with the wings. Oy. He knocked over everything and anything in a, well, 3 foot radius. Just make sure you have plenty of room for your Buzz to play with this toy. And, oh, if your wannabe-Lightyear Ranger is a shorty like mine, explain that he can’t sit with the wings on. Although it was rather comical to watch.
