Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the release of the 2022 Lightyear movie and the fictional character we all know and love – Buzz Lightyear.
About the stamp designs: The stamp pictures a close-up of Buzz Lightyear facing forward. The artwork was provided by Pixar Animation Studios.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California.
About the Go Beyond set: Four different stamp designs were issued to coincide with the 2022 release of the movie, Lightyear, starring everyone’s favorite space ranger, Buzz Lightyear. Each stamp pictures Buzz in a different pose. All artwork provided by Pixar Animation Studios. The selvage of the pane of 20 includes a full-body view of Buzz and his iconic green and silver space suit.
History the stamp represents: In the world of Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear started out thinking he was a real “space ranger,” but later found out he was actually a toy. However, in the real world, the story ended up being just the opposite. Buzz Lightyear was a toy that really did go to space.
In 2008, NASA and Disney Pixar launched a real Buzz Lightyear action figure into space aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. Buzz was taken to the International Space Station where he orbited the Earth for 15 months, setting a new mission duration record. He was also used in several zero-gravity experiments and even participated in a space walk.
Pizar’s chief creative officer and founder, John Lasseter, said of the event, “I started crying when Discovery connected to the International Space Station. There’s a tube that the astronauts go through to get into the space station. They didn’t carry Buzz. They opened his wings, they put his arms out, and Buzz Lightyear flew, in space, himself, up that tube into the International Space Station.”
On March 29, 2012, Lasseter donated the Buzz Lightyear that went to space to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. It was a fitting tribute to the iconic character as well as a reminder to children of the exciting possibilities of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
