Adam Savage Reacts to REAL Buzz Lightyear Robot!

Ever since we saw the original Toy Story almost thirty years ago, we've wanted a Buzz Lightyear robot that captures the character and experience of Andy's toy seen on screen. Robosen's new Buzz Lightyear robot feels as close as we can get to a real Buzz Lightyear--fully animatronic with voice control and the ability to perform and react just as we imagined the iconic toy would if it came alive. Here's how it compares with the Lightyear animatronic--two completely different aesthetic takes on the same character!

We are so close to get real SMALL SOLDIERS movie toys now! I cannot wait!

[@KatieCooper1990]

Darn, I was LITERALLY just going to type this exact comment haha! That was the dream growing up as a kid. Now it's a reality. I really hope someone convinces them to make Small Soldiers robots.

[@MrPruske]

There will be no mercy

[@writerpatrick]

They would have to remake the movie first. The original was a box office failure and there's no reason to produce retro kids toys for a failed movie.

[@NYKWHY]

I can't wait to meet the emissary of the Gorganites

[@BobLite-pf8qf]

Omfg didn't consider that yaaaaaaaaas archer emissary of the gorgonites

[@tallokie]

Man, if Robenson did a line from small soldiers with this level of care, would be the thing that I invest so much money into. Also I would love the react to that product line

[@burninruber60]

Greetings I am archer, emissary of the gorgonites.

[@Chevdriver]

@@burninruber60 What is your name?

[@Jpwinks]

I can totally see Robosen doing small soldiers and a tie in Small soldiers 2 movie 😂

[@L33tSkE3t]

I would have never thought, that as a 30 year old man, watching two guys geek out over a cool robotic Buzz Lightyear toy would bring me so much joy. ❤ Adam and Norm @Tested

[@Billionth_Kevin]

Every time Adam said "I can't express", they definitely were, so satisfying

[@joonglegamer9898]

Don't feel bad, I am a 56 year old man and I went to animation school over 20 years ago, and this movie was what we used as reference for our teaching. I normally don't buy toys, but I am into robotics, and it's usually too expensive to build something THIS expressive and full directional movements, so ofc. I gotta have it. Can't wait till he fly over my house (yes I know he can't fly). Giddy as a kid.

[@MiPedoteTUMBA]

You nailed it! I had a smile on my face for most of the video and I'm not even into figures and toys. Just seeing how excited they were about it it made me happy!

[@Cristopher.C]

omg a real Buzz Lightyear toy based on the toy from Toy Story based on the real Buzz Lightyear from Lightyear!

[@Anesfy]

I was dreaming to have one. kinda still do

**Picks jaw off floor** Ok I’m not even a Toy Story nerd but that’s beyond cool. The eyes…

[@JonatasAdoM]

[@tokutexascosplay5066]

It's heartwarming to see Adam still have a rhat child-like fascination and excitement with these things. He's designed and seen some of the coolest machines out there, yet at the end of the day he's still impressed with all the new things he sees. Props to him!

[@ThatGameGuyy]

I love that Adam is far more excited than any kid could be on Christmas morning

[@davidmason5163]

Wall-E..... got to have them consider him!

[@danielland3767]

I'll trade away anything!

[@GodWeenSatan]

Johnny 5 no imitations

[@Ghostface944]

I would sell my soul for that!

[@larrybremer4930]

Years ago My son and I made a pretty convincing Wall-e using Lego robotics + mindstorm, Lego and Lego technic parts. I wish we had filmed it for youtube. it was able to follow you, go towards sounds, avoid obstacles, and animated the neck for pitch and yaw, but did not have a way to get roll or get the head sides to move up and down with the parts we had. Even still it looked very much alive when interacting with it. It was roughly a foot tall, and totally made me think of doing a full scale one, maybe RC with a Pi to handle some autonomic performance and interaction, but at that size (and weight) I don't know that I would want to give it automatous mobility.

[@DJWESG1]

​@@GodWeenSatan it's soo doable right now. And I think where robots should remain.

[@RocksterOO1]

I remember at the age of 19 or 20, that upon seeing me become animated and excited by something (I think I had made some serendipitous programming discovery) a friend (who was 14 years older than I) commented that it was kinda pathetic that I could become so enthusiastic over something so trivial! I immediately told him that I thought it was incredibly sad that he had nothing in his life that would inspire such joy in him as this did in me. I've never forgotten that moment some 40 years ago. Seeing Adam's reactions again and again in his videos, never fails to bring that memory to the fore and cement my original opinion. If you can't find something in your life to make you react this way, your life is so much less than it could be. IMHO!

[@shawnkuhn1700]

This is amazing. I was a modelmaker in the toy industry and in complete awe. I can tell they are trying so hard not to take it apart to see how it works.

[@xMrPaintxx]

Are they using linear actuators in this or servos? I didn't think servos would be viable given the amount of fine articulation?

[@Thrawan]

As a 90's kid this was THE toy to have, and sadly I never had one. It may be time for that to change...

[@KatieCooper1990]

Thankfully I was lucky enough to have one when they were first released, though my parents went through HELL trying to get one for me. As they walked out of Cardiff Toys'R'Us (after getting one of the last ones in stock) they were offered £300 for it from someone who missed out. Thankfully they said no, even if it would've made them a huge profit. I had many magical years with my Buzz and Woody toys. It's like you said, they were the must have toy of that year. You couldn't get them anywhere for ages.

[@JJFX-]

​@@KatieCooper1990We got one but my father ended up keeping it for himself so it wouldn't get damaged and still rests on his nightstand to this day. Works great and in perfect condition so he was definitely right not to trust us with it.

[@Thrawan]

⁠@@KatieCooper1990That’s awesome!Sounds like the plot of Jingle all the way lol

[@stevemuzak8526]

This is insane level of robotic design. I can't believe that something like that exist! His movement is so fluid. Outstanding design.

are you telling me that I can finally have Tim Allen in a Buzz Lightyear robot with a mouth that moves???? this is going to be a very expensive end of the year

[@loganwills1814]

I am SO STOKED for Adam's interpretation of the lightyear suit!

[@eliolmos8497]

we're getting closer and closer to real small soldiers and this gets me excited

[@MittensOnly]

One of my favorite aspects of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story is the design of the box he came in. He comes prepackaged in his very own space ship, their recreation is perfect

[@KhanFlicks]

Don’t you just hate that the laser button doesn’t work lol 😂

[@dr_fish]

I was also hoping he could press his own buttons tbh.

[@arnoldsalazar5851]

Grant would have been a great guest to this show, his robotics skill set was awesome. RIP Grant.

[@CordellRadke]

As amazing as this is, nothing has beaten the Thinkway Toy Story Collection Buzz in terms of the authentic packaging, sounds, and play features that are identical to the movie. The wings when you press the red button swooshing out is perfect and the laser button is actually a button just like the movie. It glows in the dark too! The only thing it needed was a collapsible helmet, karate chop action, and a closer face sculpt to the OG...We are getting closer to that every year it seems!

[@travismarshall3089]

I understand why for practical purposes for articulation, but I wish he had his classic expression from the first movie when you see Buzz standing there atop Andy's bed for the first time. None of the Buzz's over the course 30yeras of toys have nailed down that look. Cool all the same!

[@UltimateViper]

Now we need the toys from Small Soldiers

[@SHMidlerPlays]

This is so awesome, also what is funny is that I saw the Robosen video in the new Buzz Lightyear robot they made and got this video as a recommendation for what to watch next and said right before I noticed it how I could not wait to see your guys reaction to this thing. Absolutely great work on Robosen’s part, this thing is so amazing

[@JolynBowler]

What fun. It is truly an amazing piece of technology and oh so fun. Always a blast to watch Adam and Norm together, especially on such a fun unboxing. Thank you. 💙🌻💙

[@joshhull5500]

The way it was able to keep balance and still move rather fast while it was punching the air was really impressive

[@patrickmuhlbeyer9262]

this is better than the animatronic in disneyland with the projected face.

[@JosephDavies]

That one was one of the earliest (or perhaps the first? My memory is fuzzy) example of them doing that, and I don't think I've seen a single one of them that looks better than doing a full animatronic. I get why they tried it, but it's disappointing that twenty years later they still keep using that tech when they already have something that works so much better and looks truly authentic in a way that a projection/screen face never could. But of course, it's probably the cheaper option. :(

[@Elmerstudd007]

​@JosephDavies cheaper yes, but also more problematic based on reception from guests but more importantly the projection can sometimes malfunction and have flashed error codes, or flickering, or just straight up shut off all together. So thankfully due to these mounting problems they have finally began to shy away from these and even teased the replacement of some of them. Their is only 1 or 2 examples of these truly working well and that's Radiator Springs Racers on the Cars, and The Seven Dwarves Mine Train because they are lit with highly vibrant black lights anyway so an extremely bright face doesn't look off. But if a company can get this much emotion and movement out of something so small then disney has no more excuses.

[@PaintpalSue]

I had to switch this to the big screen, not just to see this amazing piece of beautiful work, but to see Adam and Norm’s reactions better, too. I was smiling like an idiot the whole video. Thank you guys!❤

[@_CJ]

Again, we need the Gorgonites 😂🙏

[@indigosanders9264]

It's very well made. The work that must have gone into programming and testing. Super impressive

[@Boe-Yii]

Adam - the plot is just SUPER!!! A huge THANK YOU from Andy's boy, 53 years old.... ;)

[@jamesgoens3531]

Awesome! How can you not want this? I’d definitely sacrifice a Lego build or two for this.

[@pho3nix-]

It really is pretty amazing

[@suavebob]

Its nice to see Adam and Norm interact. Regardless of Adam being Norms employer, you can tell there is an equality, combined with a mutual respect with the reciprocating (also mirrored) body language, demonstrating that they are also very good friends. As I say, its good to see an honest and real interaction in what is an era of fugazi social and media life. Thanks for the channel and content Tested (including those behind the scenes) 🙂

[@tobynobel5671]

Ok, I am literally already wearing a Buzz Lightyear hoodie before watching this video, and I have been a Buzz Lightyear fan since 1995. I'm in my 40s lol. I need these 2 Buzz robots! Also, I made a Lightyear cosplay. Adam, I can't wait to watch you make suits from Lightyear!! To the realistic quality you strive for, the XL01, XL15, and Space Ranger armor would be phenomenally awesome to watch you build!!!

[@Paul___L]

Love Adams energy!

What I absolutely love about Adam is his enthusiasm and passion for things. I bet he'd be a great friend in childhood when you showed him your favorite toy. Thank you guys for bringing joy into our lives.

[@rodc2678]

A lot of artistic licence was used in the total span Buzz Lightyear's wings in the movie version, basically it's a physically impossiblity that will forever leave these real world toys with wing envy.

[@dingusbrule5756]

9:45 idk if its meant to but the way his eyes unalign happens in the first movie almost each scene

[@DanielLopez-ks9eh]

Right now it is a toy that, as Adam said, plays itself while you watch but the next step will allow them to be completely interactive and that would mean playing with them in a way that kids have dreamed of since the creation of the first doll

[@dashwithhash6106]

This is amazing

[@Miguel_Mor]

This Buzz also responds to voice commands. I don't know if the voice command demo bit was cut out of this video for whatever reason, but it would've been great to see that function as well.

[@curtisbme]

Robosen has done an amazing job with these toys.

[@EliInSpace]

Super cool. They should make a Terminator, RoboCop, The bots from Robot Jox, and a Johnny 5!
