Toy Story Mattel’s “The Great RC Race” Toymation Fun Factoids & Toys 4 Birthdays

July 21, 2012 by Momstart 6 Comments

How many of you start thinking about what toys to get your kids for Christmas, or is it birthday season. I’m pretty sure it’s birthday season as we’ve been invited to more birthdays than we can go to. Some great toys for boys for birthday this summer or girls that really like Toys Story are part of the Great RC Race Gear!

Miles has toy tested all of them and would recommend them.

Toy Story Toys

First up!

Toy Story RC’s Race GEAR, GAS & GO!™ Playset

imageGet the racing action rolling with RC! “Gas” him up at the pump and add race accessories on the lift. Use the pullback, lock-and-release mechanism to rev up RC, attach him to the launcher, and then activate the launch pad for ultra-fast speed! You can also add another vehicle (sold separately) to the second launcher for side-by-side racing fun!

  • RC has a sporty design, bold colors, and unique character details
  • Features a clip to securely hold Woody, Buzz, or Zurg (sold separately)
  • Lots of racing excitement based on the Toy Story movies

What’s fun about this toy is that Miles can play with the car over and over again with or without the playset. Plus you can get an extra car and Buzz, Woody and Zurg can ride along on the cars. You just have to have the right Buzz, Woody or Zurg. There are so many varieties available.

Toy Story RC’s Race Action Figure 5 1/2” — Buzz Lightyear with Turbo Wings

imageEveryone’s favorite space ranger is ready to race to infinity and beyond. This Buzz Lightyear action figure coordinates with the Buzz Lightyear’s Racer (sold separately) as part of Toy Story RC’s Race collection. Gear up for the big race!

  • Includes Buzz Lightyear action figure with Turbo Wings
  • Press button to launch grappling hook
  • Posable
  • Plastic
  • 5 1/2” H
  • Ages 4+
  • Pair it with Toy Story RC’s Race Buzz Lightyear’s Racer, sold separately
  • Collect all the RC’s Race figures and vehicles, each sold separately

Miles plays with Buzz a lot. He likes the little action figures more now than the large ones, in fact when he received this toy set from Mattel he decided to donate his larger Buzz. I was really very proud of him for deciding to donate one of his favorite toys.

“The Great RC Race” Toymation Fun Factoids

– 13 trips were made to the local Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul Society to collect all the miscellaneous props
-There were 15 John Grisham novels, 3 sets of Encyclopedia Britannica, and more than 400 books total used to create the set
-Every shot required at least 5 hours of set up with props and lights

-Every shot needed 12 frames per second

-The shoot used a crew of 10 people and lasted a little over 3 ½ weeks
-We had to shoot fast when using any candy props due to a determined army of ants which would attack our set late at night (especially our lollipop stop signs)

-Towards the end of the piece, the electronics featured are striped parts from old printers, computers, and servers taken from the studio

We received samples.
