Buzz Lightyear is a Disney Toy Story minifigure that was introduced in 2010.
Background[]
Buzz Lightyear is the deuteragonist of all four Toy Story movies. He is a Space Ranger for Star Command and a friend of Woody's.
Toy Story[]
He makes his first appearance as a birthday present, and behaves quixotically for most of the film, believing himself to be an actual space ranger on another planet. Initially he has an uneasy relationship with Woody, who finds his delusions annoying and is paranoid about his owner replacing him with Buzz. Eventually Buzz accepts the fact that he's a toy, depressing him for a while, but Woody's own perspective on the matter impresses him and they cooperate more happily thence forward.
Toy Story 2[]
After noticing a collector who stole Woody from a garage sale, Buzz and some of his friends venture outdoors to trace Woody. Along the way, Buzz meets a limited edition version of himself with a utility belt, who behaves just as quixotically as he did in the first film and confuses the other characters, but later cooperates somewhat and chooses to stay behind with (his father) Zurg while the default Buzz and his friends save Woody from being sent to a Japanese museum.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command[]
The series features Buzz Lightyear, a famous, experienced Space Ranger that takes a crew of rookies under his wing as he investigates criminal activity across the galaxy, and attempts to bring down Evil Emperor Zurg once and for all.
Toy Story 3[]
Buzz and his friends arrive at a daycare, who are initially pleased to be there, especially having been unplayed with for so long, but find the daycare's younger visitors surprisingly unpleasant. Lotso’s gang then reset Buzz, returning him to his deluded state, and he agrees to prevent the other toys from leaving the daycare. They manage to reconvert him to their side, but only when he’s in Spanish mode, which is undone through a collision with a falling object. He and his friends eventually return to their owner’s residence, who in turn donates them to a gentle girl who was visiting the daycare.
Toy Story 4[]
During a camping trip, Buzz pursues Woody who in turn pursues Forky after they get lost in an antique store, but an employee at the carnival mistakes him for a prize and fastens him to a wall. After escaping from the wall, Buzz and several other toys retrieve Woody from the antique store, but Woody still wants to retrieve Forky, which the other toys do not want to do. Buzz, very reluctantly, joins them in abandoning Woody. They later meet one last time outside, with Woody deciding to remain with Bo Peep at the carnival and Buzz and the other toys returning to the camper.
Lightyear[]
Originally, Buzz started off as a practical, resilient, arrogant, insufferable, stubborn, somewhat rude, petulant, and a single-minded jerk who was hostile towards rookies and hated Autopilots as he thought that they don't help but overcomplicate things. However despite all this, he was emotional and always cared for others such as his former partner Alisha Hawthorne and had a tear dropping from his eye when looking at a photo of him and her together after her tragic passing. He even had a good intention with helping Star Command find their way home.
Buzz was also a dutiful ranger with a habit of doing things on his own and makes mission logs to help him focus which causes him to do mistakes, like he unintentionally crashes the Turnip. He was also willing to take full responsibility for his actions, to the point that he offers to have himself stripped of his rank. Despite his stubbornness, Buzz is shown to be wise as he recalled his time as a Space Ranger cadet and how he didn't fit in.
Later on in the film, Buzz softens even more and at the end when offered the ZAP Patrol as his team by Commander Burnside, he politely declines his offer and instead takes Sox, Izzy, Mo and as his team and even saw them as his best friends.
