** Sarge gets one of his men, a man named [[Film/FullMetalJacket Private Pyle]], to move his keister by threatening to rip him off his baseplate and put him on Buster detail. Creator/RLeeEmery certainly made a career off of [[{{Typecasting}} playing characters like this]], but this line is in reference to the role that made him famous.

** While going to investigate the new arrival to Andy's room, Woody suggests that he handle it. Buzz accuses Woody of being worried that he'll steal the cowboy's thunder, referencing his jealousy in the first film. Woody, of course, is being honest, and doesn't want Buzz to deal with said toy being another version of himself.
*** In that same conversation, Buzz mentions nothing is scarier...except maybe [[TheDreaded Sid]].



** While Andy's opening his present from Grandma, he thinks the package contains X-R, Booster, or Emperor Zurg, all prominent figures in [[WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand the cartoon]].



* CourtMartialed: Well, a toy's version of one anyway, but when Andy's Buzz holds one under the jurisdiction of Ambassador Buzz, he charges New Buzz with treason, assault with a crayon, wrongful imprisonment, and conspiracy to return. New Buzz admits to all the charges.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Andy initially hopes that the toy his Grandma gave him is Booster. Guess who he gets when he returns Buzz?



* HeroicBSOD: Andy's Buzz

to:

* HeroicBSOD: Andy's Buzz Buzz, after being "accidentally" returned, thinks he's become useless. He snaps out of it when he hears his friends in danger.



* NightmareSequence: Rex has one the day before Andy is supposed to take a trip to the natural history museum, as he fears he'll be replaced by a scarier dinosaur. He imagines the rest of the toys as fearsome dinosaurs before being eaten by this new dinosaur toy.



* ShoutOut: Ambassador Buzz Lightyear is meant to be the ''Toy Story'' series' version of [[Film/StarTrek2009 Ambassador Spock]], complete with beard and being from the future.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Booster, Andy's newest toy, disappears from the comic after issue 3.

to:

* TheBigRace: Ambassador Buzz has Andy's Buzz and New Buzz race around the store to compete for who gets to stay with Andy. Thanks to some Etch'A'Sketch toys confirming the winner, Andy's Buzz gets to go home.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Booster, Andy's newest toy, disappears from the comic after issue 3.3.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Both Andy's Buzz and New Buzz get this after their respective arcs in ''The Return of Buzz Lightyear.'' After he spent some time thinking he was useless to Andy compared to a new, fresh-out-of-the-box Buzz Lightyear toy, Woody assures him that Andy only wants one Buzz, and that's him. Meanwhile, New Buzz gets one from Ambassador Buzz, whom, despite finding his actions poor, understands why he did them, and encourages him to make amends with Andy's Buzz before it's too late.

** Mr. Potato Head tries to get the Buzz Lightyear variants to stop attacking by trying his hand at stand-up comedy, as his actor Creator/DonRickles did. He even uses a fair share of Rickles' catchphrases.



* CallBack: New Buzz's EstablishingCharacterMoment is almost identical to Andy's Buzz's in the first movie; he pulls out his wrist communicator to analyze his surroundings before firing his laser at the first toy he meets (in this case, Andy's Buzz).

** Both Buzz and Woody bring up the former's troubled experiences with learning he was a toy and not a space ranger. Buzz even tells Woody that he told Booster everything the cowboy told him.
** In Issue 4, during the competition for a kiss from Bo Peep, Buzz mentions that he had just beaten a new toy in a race the previous week.
* CallForward: In Issue 7, Woody talks about how he was at Cowboy Camp with Andy, like they do every year, which is a key detail from the second film.



* FantasticRacism: New Buzz hates Buzz Lightyear variants, primarily because kids wanted them and not him.
* FreudianExcuse: New Buzz spent all of his life living on a shelf, unopened and unwanted by any child due to them already having a genuine original Buzz Lightyear figure, and wanting variants instead. After spending a long time being returned over and over again, he fakes being delusional to replace Andy's Buzz with himself, so he could find an owner who loved him.



* IHatePastMe: Buzz is noticeably combative with the New Buzz, who [[DaydreamBeliever thinks he's a real space ranger]] - just as Buzz himself did in the first movie.

* HiddenDepths: Booster is able to figure out he's a toy before Andy's Buzz can tell him.

* IHatePastMe: Buzz is noticeably combative with the New Buzz, who [[DaydreamBeliever thinks he's a real space ranger]] - just as Buzz himself did in the first movie. It turns out, however, that New Buzz was faking it, transitioning Andy's Buzz's annoyance from being replaced with a nut-job to just being replaced in general.


Added DiffLines:

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Despite trying to be otherwise friendly upon his arrival (albeit in a very put-down manner), Andy's Buzz quickly comes to blows with New Buzz. Later, Booster invokes this by having the variant Buzz Lightyear toys fight against Andy's toys to free him from their capture.


Added DiffLines:

* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Played with, but one of the many Buzz Lightyear variants is Ambassador Buzz Lightyear, a version of the character who hails from the ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' series finale, and is described as being the "All-seeing, all-knowing" version of Buzz from the future. This gives him the knowledge that he's a toy, and he gets to interact with Andy's Buzz and New Buzz. Of course, seeing as they are toys, there really is no disastrous consequences.


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: Woody figures out that New Buzz has replaced Andy's Buzz by noticing the distinctive lack of Andy's name on the bottom of his boot.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Most of the toys are much snarkier with each other than they were in the movies, constantly calling each other names and verbally jabbing at each other.
* CallBack: New Buzz's EstablishingCharacterMoment is almost identical to Andy's Buzz's in the first movie; he pulls out his wrist communicator to analyze his surroundings before firing his laser at the first toy he meets (in this case, Andy's Buzz).
* CockFight: Issue 4 features a struggle between Woody and Buzz over who gets a kiss from Bo. This boils over into a full-on competition involving all the male toys in Andy's room, like Hamm, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head and Rocky Gibraltar.
* ContinuityNod: Buzz is still missing his wrist communicator decal, which he peeled off during his HeroicBSOD in the first movie.
* GhostStory: The main plot of Issue 7 revolves around the toys telling scary stories around a campfire while Andy is away at a sleepover.
* {{Interquel}}: The comics take place between ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
* MaliciousMisnaming: New Buzz calls Andy's Buzz "Sally" as a means of differentiating the two. He soon gets all of Andy's toys to [[GotMeDoingIt start calling him it too]].
* SuperiorSuccessor: New Buzz looks just like Andy's Buzz, but he still has his communicator sticker and a much cleaner, less-faded paintjob. Though it's downplayed in that Andy still prefers his own Buzz over the new model.
