Lightyear
Year Released
2022 context: Released alongside Pixar's Lightyear film. Debuted in sets 76831 and 76832.
Rarity
Uncommon. While contained in mass-retail sets, these were part of a licensed wave with a relatively short production span compared to evergreen themes like City.
Head
The head is integrated into a single-mold specialized cat body; it features large lime-green pupils, a light nougat/pinkish nose, and molded cat ears.
Torso
The torso is a fixed cat body mold (standing position) in Dark Bluestone Gray; it features a thin red collar print around the neck.
Legs
The piece uses a specialized cat body mold with four non-articulated legs; the front legs are fused on a single row, and the back is a solid piece with a curled-up tail.
Accessories
None included with the animal figure itself, though it is often paired with standard minifigures as a companion accessory.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Dark Bluestone Gray, accented with lime green eyes, a light nougat nose, and a red collar.
Printing Details
Pad-printed eyes and nose on the face, with a wraparound red line for the collar. Print registration is generally high quality, typical of 2020s Disney licensed molds.
Variants
Standard version lacks the red collar or has different nose colors in other themes/Friends sets. This specific color/print combo is unique to character 'Sox'.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the nose and tips of the ears. The tail is a potential snap-point if under heavy pressure, though it is relatively thick.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $6.00 USD used; slightly higher as part of a complete set ensemble. It is an affordable but desirable character figure.
Price (New)
Retail sets ranged from $29.99 (76831) to $49.99 (76832). Sox was not sold individually in a blind bag.
Compatible Sets
76831 Zurg Battle, 76832 XL-15 Spaceship.
Character Background
Sox is Buzz Lightyear's personal companion robot in the 2022 film Lightyear. He is a 'personal companion' intended to help Buzz transition back to life after mission delays.
Design Notes
Uses the standard LEGO standing cat mold introduced in the late 2010s but updated with Pixar-specific facial graphics to mimic the animated character's expressive eyes.
Similar Minifigures
Standard LEGO Cats, Goose the Cat (Marvel), and the various Friends-theme kittens.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly collectible for Pixar fans and Lightyear completists; likely to remain stable or rise slightly as the film's merchandise is retired.
History
Represents the first and currently only release of this specific Pixar character in LEGO form since the film's 2022 debut.
Interesting Facts
The character in the movie has a hidden computer port in his tail, though the LEGO mold remains a solid piece of plastic.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the Buzz Lightyear (Space Ranger) minifigure or placed in the cockpit of the XL-15 Spaceship build.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom cat creations or robotic animal MOCs due to the robotic-style eye printing.
Overall Assessment
A charming and accurate representation of a fan-favorite Pixar character. Essential for Lightyear fans with high quality-to-price ratio.
