Toy Story Action Figures:
Only Those with Highest Ratings

Toy Story Action Figures! The very word makes a kid's heart swell with excitement. Even for adults, these collectible figures are fun to collect and display in your car for a whimsical look or in a place that tells your visitors that you're a fun kid at heart.

For a bit of interesting history about Toy Story action figures: Thinkway Toys was the only toy company back in February 1995 who was willing to take on the Toy Story license because the run-up time between the negotiations and the film's release was too short for other, larger manufacturers. The small toy company Thinkway took a gamble and it paid of handsomely and their toys have the reputation for having the greatest film accuracy. So keep a look out for that brand, although don't discount other brands if they are highly rated.

Rex the Dinosaur Action Figures

Unfortunately, most of the Rex Toy Story action figures available are not rated very highly. They either break easily or they do not resemble the Toy Story character. There are a few that earn high ratings, but then they are collectors editions and therefore very expensive. Most have mixed reviews at 3 stars, but are reasonably priced. Let's start with the one that is the most reasonably priced with the highest rating.

Toy Story 3 Rex the Dinosaur

This Rex by Thinkway looks just like the Toy Story character; many of the Rex figures aren't tall enough, but this Rex stands at 11 inches, which is more movie accurate. He has other features that are movie accurate as well, such as his facial expression and hand gestures. Rex has poseable arms, legs and neck.

Unfortunately, finding quality Emperor Zurg Toy Story action figures isn't easy to do. Sure, there are some of these Zurg figures out there, but they have one and two-star ratings for poor quality and lack of durability. I cannot and will not recommend shoddy products, but I will recommend the good ones to you.

Toy Story Deluxe Zurg Action Figure

One Emperor Zurg figure that has gotten a four star review is this Toy Story Deluxe Zurg Action Figure by Mattel. He is a large-scale stylized action figure that says key phrases from Toy Story 2. Right now this toy is a hot item and there aren't many of them, so it's rather expensive. But if you want to splurge on the ultimate Toy Story Zurg figure, then
