Toy Story Jessie Action Figure vs Toy Story 5 Hi-Tech Edition Buzz Lightyear

Pick Jessie for a kid who wants a durable, poseable figure to act out stories; she has 12 joints, a removable hat and no batteries to worry about. Pick Buzz if the child wants lights, sounds and pop-out wings, and is old enough to enjoy a bigger, electronic toy. Reviewers rate Jessie slightly higher (4.8 vs 4.6), and owners of both lines say the plastic holds up to play, though Buzz's electronics are the part most likely to fail first.

• Choose the Jessie figure if you want a poseable, battery-free cowgirl who stands up to daily play and fits a 7-inch playscale collection.
• Choose the Buzz Lightyear if you want a large electronic Space Ranger with pop-out wings, lights and more than 35 movie sounds.
