Let me tell you, these little guys surprised me! When I first opened the package, I'll admit I went 'Whoa, they're smaller than my thumb!' But after playing with them for a week, I'm totally charmed.

The colors pop like candy - that Buzz Lightyear blue is so vibrant it could glow in the dark. What's impressive is how detailed they are despite the size. Woody's stitching lines? Perfect. The plastic feels sturdy too - my dog accidentally stepped on one and it survived without a crack (though we did lose Rex behind the couch forever).

I used them in three unexpected ways: 1) As cupcake toppers for my nephew's birthday (huge hit!), 2) Hidden around my office for coworkers to find (instant mood booster), and 3) To recreate movie scenes on my bookshelf. That last one gets compliments from every visitor!

One heads-up: The set I got was missing Bo Peep's sheep, which was disappointing since she's my favorite. But at this price point for 17 figures, I can't complain too much. They're definitely not baby-proof though - keep away from toddlers who still explore with their mouths.

Final verdict? These punch way above their weight class in fun factor. Not just toys - they're pocket-sized happiness dispensers that spark creativity wherever you place them.
