Toy Story 4: Buzz Lightyear [Videos of the Unboxing, Assembly, and a Full 360 View]

 While a photo is supposedly worth a thousand words, the few photos I posted of the non-scale Bandai Cinema Rise Standard Toy Story 4: Buzz Lightyear plastic model kit doesn't do it justice. You have to see this kit in person, or the next best thing i.e. vicariously via video, to appreciate just how cool this kit is. For that reason, I've embedded two videos about the Buzz Lightyear project, with descriptions about what each entails, so you can decided if they are worth watching.         

 First up is the unboxing and pre-assembly video (see above) in which we take a quick look at what's inside the box before proceeding to look at each individual sprues in detail. Here you can get a better appreciation of the excellent quality of the molded plastic parts, so much so that it negates the need for them to be painted in order to look good. Of the two, the unboxing video is naturally the more boring one. It's skippable if you don't have plans to get the model kit. But if you do, then you might want to take a look at what comes with the kit to see if it's something that you can work with.

 Secondly we have the assembly and post-assembly review video (see above) in which I put together the main sub-assemblies - head, helmet, torso, jet-pack, pelvis, arms, hands, legs, and feet - that I had assembled off-camera earlier. I figured a video of the full assembly process (i.e. from sprue to completed product) would take too long hence I shortened the on-camera assembly process to prevent the video from becoming a snooze fest. In this video I also show off Buzz's wing gimmick as well as provide you with a 360 degree view of the model kit.
