Update: July 13, 2007 «©NCSX» Pixar's movies have won seven Academy Awards through the years starting with Toy Story in 1995 when John Lasseter brought home the Academy's Special Achievement Award. Toy Story was the first feature-length computer-animated film and it opened the door for more films that would be created entirely on computers. Square tried their hand at a CG film in 2001 with a major disappointment called Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which suffered losses of $124 million and knocked Square Pictures out of business. It is somewhat ironic then that Square Enix releases a collection of toys based on Pixar's highly successful computer-animation films. The toys were first displayed at the Tokyo Game Show 2006 in prototype form and the movies represented in the set are as follows in order of theatrical release: » Toy Story / 1995 » a bug's life / 1998 » Toy Story 2 / 1999 » Monsters, Inc / 2001 » Finding Nemo / 2003 » The Incredibles / 2004 The figure-dioramas measure 12-14cm (4.72 to 5.51") tall and are surprisingly heavy. The sculpts are beautiful and each toy captures the spirit of each film. The toys packaged six per factory carton and pricing is set at US$79 per factory sealed box.
