Go Beyond with famed Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear With this pane of 20 ForeverRstamps , the legendary hero blasts beyondhis familiar role as a toy.

Four different stamp designs celebrate the hero who inspired the over-confident action figure from the Toy Story films. Grouped infour rows of five, the stamps feature Buzz as depicted in Disney and Pixar's 2022 film Lightyear.

Each row features the same designs in differing orders. On the first row they are: a right-facing, close-up profle of Buzz in histransparent bubble helmet, a full-body profile detailing his gleaming white and green spacesuit, with the bubble slightly extendingbeyond the frame's top edge; Buzz sprinting with helmet retracted, in a three-quarter rightward view, the action accentuated by afoot and elbow breaking through the design border; and a head-and-torso image of the famed space hero resolutely facing?adventures ahead. On each row, the first design repeats as the last stamp.All of the designs feature modern, angular, geometricbackgrounds in various greens and grayish blue-greens, accentuating the familiar colors of Buzz's spacesuit.

For a generation,Buzz Lightyear has been known as the coolest action figure in the toybox. The beloved original Toy Story movie(1995) was the first full-length, computer-animated feature film.The four-flm Toy Story series offers storytelling that is groundbreaking and eye-dazzling, hilarious and full of heart.

In Lightyear (2022), the legendary Space Ranger goes beyond-on an intergalactic adventureһrevealing the story that inspired thetoy. Audiences meet the hero himseli, gaining fresh appreciation for the classic character. These bold new stamps capture the excitement 

Art director Greg Breeding, working closely with Pixar Animation Studios, designed the stamps using artwork proided by the studio.
