What if BLoSC was in Toy Story 3?

[greedyslayer]

IT WOULD BE AWESOME. ;D

Well, there's always fic.

BLoSC characters I'd really want to see as new Toy cast members:

-Nos-4-A2 (of course, as he's my favorite)

-XR

-Mira Nova

-Booster

-XL

-Wirewolf

And I would be satisfied. Who else would you guys add?

Picking characters I'd want to see brought up an interesting idea for me: if this hypothetical movie version required different voice actors for the characters, who would I pick? It was fun thinking of alternate VA's I thought would continue working well with the character.

My alternate VA line-up (those I could think of):

Jack Davenport as Nos-4-A2 (I first saw him as Norrington in Pirates, and I really liked him, so it's a neat mix of my favorites for me--and I think he would do right by Nos in place of Craig Ferguson's awesome job. Suave and snarky and rage? Yes please. And I've seen Davenport in the comedy series Coupling, and he could do those crazy rants Nos did like 2 times out of the whole series.)

Sarah Michelle Gellar as Mira Nova (Yeah, I'm an old Buffy junkie. XP I thought from the Slayer role she showed a lot of range, and that she could do Mira's charmingly awkward moments when prompted)

Jack Black as Booster (Yeah, I'm going with the comedy actors I've seen for a few of the characters. But after his role as Po in Kung Fu Panda, I can really see him play Booster's heart.)

Seth Rogen as XL (I just think it would work.)

And for XR and Wirewolf...I really have no idea. Though Wirewolf could be more of a mime character, like Bullseye--but XR definitely needs a voice!

Oh, maybe Neil Patrick Harris as XR, from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog? I think that could be cool.

And BLoSC's characterization in Toy Story 3?

I know Toy Story 2's addition of Zurg and the Little Green Men before show that it seems like all the toys in Buzz's franchise would first think they're the real thing, but I'm kinda growing fond of the idea that the robot ideas know what's up and are kinda exasperated when Mira and Booster (inorganic) think they're real Space Rangers. But then again, while Buzz and the LGM's were based on organic characters, Zurg, regardless of cyborg theories, looked really robotic, so my theory's looking worse.

But it has been fun seeing the Buzz characters think they're the real thing at first, so it'll still be hilarious to see with more BLoSC characters (i.e. Nos chomping on electrical wires trying to feed and getting absolutely fried). And hey, there's the chance of a return to Buzz's surprsingly poignant existential crisis with the additon of BLoSC characters.

I'd think of the BLoSC toys as going straight to Andy's sister, Molly, rather than him, since he is getting older (or should be). And Nos would be Molly's favorite.

I definitely need to write this fic.

That would be amazing if Disney did that!!

I would add....Warp. ;D

[xrofdoom]

That would be really awesome!

Maybe XL done by Richard Horvits (Don't ask why) but I do agree with XL done by Seth Rogen

[ckret2]

Although it IS unlikely to happen, that would be cool.

And wouldn't it be awkward for the other BLoSC toys to have their big meeting with Buzz, and he's still stuck in Spanish mode. (I wonder how the movie's gonna handle that. It's got a lot of potential, but I've honestly got no idea where they're going with a Spanish-speaking Buzz.)

Sort of diversion from the original point: I actually figure that the Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story isn't from the same canon as the BLoSC Buzz Lightyear. (Well, obviously, one's in Toy Story and one's in BLoSC, but that's not what I meant.) You know how there are some shows that will have like a billion different versions? Like Transformers; most people know that it's both a cartoon and a movie series, and the two don't really have anything to do with each other. (In fact, there's at least eight really big Transformers cartoon and/or CGI series, some produced in English and some in Japanese, which take place in at least five distinct canon universes--or four in English, because two series that were originally unassociated were dubbed together into one canon. And that's not even counting the multitude of comic canons, I know nothing about the comic canons.)

And there are other examples of series that do the same thing. Power Rangers. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Pretty much every major comic book superhero to ever exist.

The point of all that is to say that the Buzz Lightyear action figure, and the Zurg action figure in Toy Story 2, may not (within the context of the Toy Story universe) be "based on" the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon, even though they clearly have that cartoon. It might be based off another BL series within the Toy Story universe. I mean, there are some noticeable differences in character design and personality between the Buzz and Zurg of Toy Story and the Buzz and Zurg of BLoSC. BIG differences. Maybe it started out as a CGI series--or as a live action series with bulky suits, which would explain why the Toy Story Buzz and Zurg are so much chunkier than their BLoSC counterparts.

Anyway. That wouldn't mean there aren't other BLoSC action figures somewhere in the Toy Story universe, it'd just means that they might be from a different toy line than the original Buzz. After all, based on the intro to series and movie, BLoSC quite likely came out (in the Toy Story universe) some time after Toy Story 2 ended. Maybe the BLoSC action figures hadn't had time to hit toy stores yet.

Which means that maybe by the time of Toy Story 3, those toys WILL have been out for a few years, and there'll be some spare Mira Novas or XRs lying around? ;D (Yeah, I know, not gonna happen. But wouldn't it be neat.)

[xrofdoom]

Yeah, that would be neat wouldn't it?
But oh well, ya can't get everything...or can you? TO ZURG'S EVIL EMPIRE!

[littlefan]

that would be really awesome if the BLoSC characters were there
LOL XR toy! ;D

[xrofdoom]

Ha ha! An XR toy???
That would be pretty funny to see.

I've always wanted to see Mira, Booster, and XR in todays' 3D graphics.
