Mattel have released a fantastic line of 7 inch figures based on the characters appearing in Toy Story 4. Looking like they have been taken straight from the screen these figures feature a good range of detail and articulation that will please older collectors as well as being play friendly for children.
Action figures for the previous three films have all been the 5 inch scale so hopefully Mattel will gradually expand the new 7 inch line to include characters from older films in the franchise such as Zurg and Lotsos gang from Toy Story 3.
It would also be great to finally get some decent action figures based on the Battlesaurs from Toy Story That Time Forgot. The figures released for that line in 2015 were only 4 inches tall so didn't even fit scale wise with Mattels previous toy Story figures from the third movie. So much wasted potential as the Battlesaurs were given great designs in the movie short that would appeal to 80s kids who loved Thundercats, He-man and Skeleton Warriors.
Mattel have really improved upon their efforts from Toy Story 3 and Toy Story That Time Forgot. The third movie figures looked good but had minimal articulation and the Toy Story The Time Forgot figures were quite small and cheap, wasting the potential of the designs. Much like Mattels Jurassic World toyline they really seem to be putting the effort in now to create good quality toys that will appeal to adult collectors and children alike with great sculpts and articulation at a decent size too.
I'd also love to see the inclusion of characters from the nigh on forgotten and underrated Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series.
