[[File:Unused Buzz Summon Model KHIIFM.png|thumb|left|Unfinished Buzz Lightyear model from ''Kingdom Hearts II''.]]

The proposal folder shown to Buena Vista included plans for a world based on Toy Story in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. For ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' a model of Buzz Lightyear and [[Woody]] were created for a similar purpose but according to the series' director Tetsuya Nomura, there was never a chance to present them to Disney so the idea was scrapped.<ref>'''''[https://multiplayer.it/articoli/kingdom-hearts-3-intervista-esclusiva-a-tetsuya-nomura-201291.html Multiplayer.it]''''' '''Interviewer''': "''Toy Story'' finally arrived in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', but elements related to the film of Pixar were already founded in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' code. Can you tell us why they weren't inserted in those games, in the end?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I always wanted ''Toy Story'' in ''Kingdom Hearts'', and I already hoped to insert a world based on it in the first chapter. For this reason, I asked our staff to create something related to ''Toy Story'', in case we were able to get the OK from the Disney. Sadly, no possibility were given to us and so the idea never entered in the development stage."

==Story==

Some time after Xehanort's defeat, Buzz is seen with the other toys in Andy's room as the door finally opens with Andy's return.

==Design==

Buzz is a well-round fighter that specializes in attacking enemies from short to long distance. While in the alternate version of their world, Buzz is able to shoot [[Laser Beam]]s from his wrist. His lasers deal little damage, but are his only reliable way to hit floating enemies at range. Buzz's basic attacks deal damage to a small area by slamming his arms on the ground, which can be useful in clearing weak enemies faster. His [[Spinning Lariat]] ability has him use his wings to attack by spinning around while moving to deal damage to enemies.

In the 1995 film, Buzz Lightyear is the newest toy in the collection of a boy named Andy. He initially believes that he is the real Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger on a mission to defeat his nemesis, the evil Emperor Zurg, and repeatedly attempts to return to space. Woody, Andy's favorite toy, is jealous about the amount of time Andy now spends with Buzz and tried to hide him from Andy. In the process, he gets them both lost and in the possession of Sid, the toy-torturer who lives next door. In Sid's house, Buzz sees a commercial for the Buzz Lightyear action figure and finally realizes he is just a toy, sending him into a depression. With Woody's help, he regains his composure and the two of them escape back to Andy and become close friends.
