Buzz Lightyear is a spaceman action figure toy originally belonging to Andy in the Toy Story franchise. Buzz can talk and has the ability to feel emotions like a regular human. He has wings so he can fly and he can fire laser beams. In the Toy Story Franchise, toys are owned by normal humans (like in real life) but whenever humans leave the room, they come alive and are sentient (sentience means having consciousness, feeling, or thought). Examples include Woody, Mr Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Bo Peep, Sarge and Rex.
