LEGO Toy Story 3 Minifigure: Twitch

While on the hunt for more detailed pics of the new Toy Story 3 minifigures, I came across this beauty posted by 'okayaraman' on the FBTB.net Outpost Flickr forum.

This pack shot gives us a much better look at this exclusive minifigure compared to the box shot from late last week.

LEGO Set Details

"Twitch", as he is unofficially being called on the interwebs, will be found in the Toys R Us exclusive set #7599, Garbage Truck Getaway.

Minifigure Parts

Twitch is made up of four parts, an insectoid head, torso with scale and harness print, green legs with an orange waist, and white wings.

It was revealed recently that the antenna can be removed from the main head part. It is not known how the antenna connect or how compatible they might be with other LEGO parts (i.e. hat holes for things like plumes).

Accessories

There are no clues as to additional accessories that might come with Twitch.

Is it just me or does Twitch look like one of the 'mutant toys' that lived under Sid's bed in the first Toy Story? You know the one steering the He-Man body that walked on its hands? It's likely I'm not the only one who sees this and the custom minifigure/MOC will be forth coming.

I'll be on the look out for more quality pictures of the upcoming figures from the new Toy Story 3 sets. More as it becomes available!

Toys R Us Announces Excusive LEGO Toy Story 3 Set

FBTB.net breaks the news that Garbage Truck Getaway (#7599) will be a LEGO Toy Story 3 exclusive for Toys R Us. There will be four minifigures included, Jessie, Buzz, Lotto, and a new alien referred to as "Twitch" on other fan sites.

Jessie is rumored to have a new face print, but otherwise should be identical to the figure that comes with the Woody's Roundup set (#7594). Lotto looks like he may have a different appearance from other sets (based on pics seen on-line to date). "Twitch" is completely new and exclusive to this set, so far. Buzz appears to remain unchanged.

This will move Buzz's set count to at least 5, not including the recently released magnet set. Jessie will no longer be exclusive to Woody's Roundup and move to 3 sets, Lotto will be in 3 sets (7596, 7599, 7789), and Twitch will be exclusive to this set.

The price point is $44.99 for 402 pieces. The Toy Story 3 sets may start showing up as early as May, especially at Toys R Us where Prince of Persia sets are being sighted a month before the official LEGO release of April.
