Full Card Art This particular Toy Story bootleg didn't appear until Toy Story 2 was almost in theaters....but it's still based on the toys from the original film.

As seen at left, this bootleg comes on a 8" x 5" card, printed on the front only.

The logos are all new, but the clip art is all lifted directly from Pixar's graphics. (See the Buzz detail, below)

Pixar Art from Card

Hidden behind the bubble are pictures of Buzz and Woody riding RC, a group shot of Hamm, Rex, and Bo-Peep, and larger images of Buzz, Hamm, and Slinky-dog.

The center of the card has a blue and white whirl-pool effect.

The only text (besides the logo) on the card is the child safety warning in the upper right corner.

 
The toys themselves are non-articulated PVC figures, each about 3" tall. Included in this pack are Buzz, Rex, and Woody.

Buzz Lightyear Rex Woody

The painting and detailing on all three figures is very well done. Apparently the molds used to duplicate the figures were fairly new, or lifted from Mattel's factories.

It's also worth mentioning that Buzz has a clear plastic helmet glued over the base figure, an expensive touch on such a cheap toy.
