Overview
- Disney’s Roundup Reveal Week, which began Monday, opened with a Mattel-led first look shared across Pixar and Disney social channels.
- Mattel introduced Ultimate Action Buzz and Woody figures with animatronic movement, voice features, and clap and pose recognition that let the pair respond and talk when they are near each other.
- The new Playscale Interactables line lets characters like Woody, Jessie, Buzz, Forky, and Lilypad recognize one another, and a Giddy-Up Bullseye RC responds when a figure is placed in the saddle.
- Disney says daily reveals will continue throughout the week with toys, collectibles, apparel, and accessories from brand partners ahead of the June 19 theatrical release.
- Early coverage notes excitement for the advanced features but flags some animatronic facial movements as a little unsettling, signaling reactions may split as the tech-forward toys roll out.
