Working on a custom Buzz Lightyear repaint (Toy Story 5 style), clearly meant for a young kid.

This is actually my second Buzz project, and this one is for my son’s 2nd birthday.

I started with the 25 cm Mattel Buzz from Amazon — the simple version:

- no electronics

- no laser

- no voice

- only feature is the wings that deploy with the red button

The base sculpt honestly isn’t bad, but it’s really lacking paint details out of the box. So the goal here is a full repaint to bring it closer to the movie look while keeping it durable for a kid.

What I’ve done so far:

- Repainted parts of the legs in green

- Reworked the hands (added green + some purple details)

- Added black details on the shoulders/shoulder pads

- Painted fake red and green “LEDs” on both sides of the wings

- Cleaned up and repainted the back area to make everything more consistent

Hey guys!

This is my first Buzz Lightyear custom. I spent about a good week working on it.

Originally it was a Disney Store version, the one that has two holes in the black chest area (I assume they were sensors). I removed them, filled the holes with Green Stuff, and sanded everything smooth.

I also worked on his eyelids, trying to raise them slightly using Green Stuff. There was also a broken part on the back that I rebuilt with Green Stuff as well.

In the end, I repainted all the green with a more “flashy” tone and made the purple a bit darker.

I know the chin area on the head isn’t perfect, but it’s extremely small and doing it with a brush was pretty tricky.

So yeah — what do you guys think? Any advice or feedback?
