Plot
In the latest Toy Story Toon, Bonnie is buying a kid's meal from a fast food restaurant when she realizes the toy she gets isn't the one she wants. She asks if she can have a different toy instead, thus introducing the Buzz Lightyear-themed toys that were being offered with the meal. Mini Buzz Lightyear is seen complaining to Mini Zurg about how they doubt they will ever be played with as they are just the display toys. Bonnie goes to play in the ball pit, and while no one is looking, Mini Buzz climbs in. He pulls real Buzz under the balls so Bonnie picks up Mini Buzz as she leaves the restaurant without real Buzz. Mini Buzz gets taken home, and acts like the balls in the ball pit shrunk him and continues to annoy the whole gang. Woody and the rest of the toys (except for Rex) are completely aware that he is not the real Buzz.Meanwhile, the real Buzz is still back at the fast food place, trying to find a way out. He crawls through the vents, but suddenly falls through and lands in a fast food toy support group, with the leader being Queen Neptuna, a warrior mermaid (voiced by Jane Lynch
