- "The claw is our master."
"The claw chooses who will go and who will stay." - —Squeeze Toy Aliens at random
The Squeeze Toy Aliens are toy aliens with three eyes who appear in both Toy Story and Toy Story 2.
Toy Story
- "I have been chosen. Farewell, my friends. I will go on to a better place."
- —One Squeeze Toy Alien, as the claw, controlled by Sid, picks him up.
In the first film, the aliens are found in a claw vending machine at Pizza Planet that Buzz Lightyear climbs into. They believe the crane is a kind of deity who sometimes selects one of their kind to go to a better place.
Toy Story 2
- "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful."
- —3 Squeeze Toy Aliens, after Mr. Potato Head saves them from flying out of a Pizza Planet truck
In the second film, the toys (who were on a mission to rescue Woody) encounter three toy aliens inside a Pizza Planet delivery truck that they hijack to chase Al to the airport. During the chase, the aliens fly out of the window, but Mr. Potato Head saves them by pulling them back in, and the aliens become quite attached to him. After the toys return home, Mrs. Potato Head chooses to adopt the three aliens as her children, much to her husband's dismay.
The characters are listed only as "aliens" in the credits of Toy Story 2, and first identified as "Little Green Men" (or the acronym LGM) in the spin-off video Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Continues and its subsequent TV series.
Trivia
- The Squeeze Toy Aliens have the Pizza Planet logo adorned on their suits, implying that these toys are exclusive to the restaurant. However, strangely enough, the aliens also appeared as characters in the spin-off series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command under the name "Little Green Men", despite the fact they're Pizza Planet exclusive. (Perhaps the merchandise line of the show itself within the Toy Story universe included toys that could only be acquired at certain locations like Pizza Planet.)
