The slow roll-out of new characters from Toy Story 3 continues with Sparks, a toy robot who was revealed on the same day that reactions began to emerge from the ShoWest screening of the almost finished film.
Sparks is described as follows: "Sparks will fly – literally – during electrifying playtimes with your new robot friend Sparks! This retro-inspired toy has flashing red LED eyes and a blaster cavity that actually spits out real sparks when he’s rolled along on his sturdy rubber wheels. Sparks also sports telescoping arms with working pincers, and an elevator action that raises his entire body to new heights. Sparking action completely child-safe. Requires two AA batteries (not included)."
And here's a typical take on the finished film from animation guru Jim Hill, which is spoiler-free but does reveal that you might want to bring a box of two of Kleenex for weepie moments.
