Do you have $600 burning an asteroid-sized hole in your pocket? If so, the new Buzz Lightyear robot might be for you.

A collaboration between Pixar and smart toy company Robosen, the new Buzz is fully loaded with more than 3,000 tiny parts, 75 microchips, and 23 servo motors. It also features what Robosen calls “first of its kind micro-servos,” which is what helps Buzz make those intricate eye and mouth movements.

You can activate the robot using voice commands or by pressing one of the multicolor buttons on his chest, but he really comes to life with the app, which unlocks a number of different features. There are preset actions based on scenes from the Toy Story movies, along with a remote control feature that’s a bit finicky without an extremely flat surface.

Most interesting is an editor that lets you position Buzz’s joints (and eyes), sync to the app, and create your own custom scene with dialogue.

The new Buzz is available now for $600.
