Disney Pixar Toy Story: Medicom Kubricks & Official Intro of Characters …

New Medicom Kubrick’s are coming for Toy Story 3 …

These are the ones in a “blind box” so you’re not sure what you might get until you open the box … plus there’s usually one secret chase 😉

There is also two separate box sets:

SET A is out …


SET B is coming … an interesting assortment …


For Pixar fans, there’s an older release with Mike & Sulley and a forthcoming one with Carl of UP … unfortunately, there’s no Russell yet – the Kubrick Bearbrick has the Pixar UP Logo on his chest – hence he is named the Logo Bearbrick. The UP set is available for pre-order on Amazon.

And now the official Disney Pixar release info & PR photos …

Voice Talent: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, Jodi Benson, Ned Beatty, Bonnie Hunt, Timothy Dalton, Jeff Garlin, Whoopi Goldberg and Michael Keaton.

Director: Lee Unkrich; Producer: Darla K. Anderson; Composer: Randy Newman

The creators of the beloved “Toy Story” films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of our favorite gang of toy characters in TOY STORY 3. As Andy prepares to depart for college, Buzz, Woody and the rest of his loyal toys are troubled about their uncertain future.  Directed by Lee Unkrich (co-director of “Toy Story 2” and “Finding Nemo”), TOY STORY 3 is a comical new adventure in Disney Digital 3D™ that lands the toys in a room full untamed tots who can’t wait to get their sticky little fingers on these “new” toys.  It’s pandemonium as they try to stay together, ensuring “no toy gets left behind.”  Meanwhile, Barbie comes face to plastic face with Ken (yes, that Ken).

Pixar veteran Darla K. Anderson (“Cars,” “Monsters, Inc.”) produces, while Michael Arndt, Academy AwardÂŽ-winning screenwriter of “Little Miss Sunshine,” brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities.

    “Medicom”, not to be confused with my godawful cable company “Mediacom”.

    “Kubricks”, not to be confused with Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999), an American director, writer, producer, and photographer of films, who lived in England during most of the last 40 years of his career. Kubrick was noted for the scrupulous care with which he chose his subjects, his slow method of working, the variety of genres he worked in, his technical perfectionism and his reclusiveness about his films and personal life. He worked far beyond the confines of the Hollywood system, maintaining almost complete artistic control and making movies according to the whims and time constraints of no one but himself, but with the rare advantage of big-studio financial support for all his endeavors. Oscar nominated on several occasions as screenwriter and director, his only personal win was for the special effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished, innovative and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He directed a number of highly acclaimed and often controversial films that have often been perceived as a reflection of his obsessive and perfectionist nature. His films are characterized by a formal visual style and meticulous attention to detail – his later films often have elements of surrealism and expressionism eschewing structured linear narrative. While often viewed as expressing an ironic pessimism, a few critics feel his films contain a cautious optimism when viewed more carefully. His works are noted as some of the “most original, provocative, and visionary motion pictures ever made”.

    (MET: Not that FULL METAL JACKET needs anymore reason for you to see it – but it was shot ENTIRELY in England).
