As usual, Kairi version available on FurAffinity, Pixiv, Newgrounds, Twitter, and Rule34

Yeah I know that's not the actual Toy Story keyblade, the real one was hard to draw and I thought it was appropriate anyway to use my own since my whole series of pics finding ways to get KH girls into sexy outfits/forms by theming them after the Disney worlds pretty much all stems from when I was a kid and was always disappointed that after Kairi is rescued they didn't find some way to give her a fighting move or weapon so she could join your party. In particular I really wanted that so I could take her to the worlds where the party all get disguises and see what she looks like, especially Atlantica though I wasn't able to figure out until much later why that one in particular. Well half the reason I even had any interest in KH as a kid was because of the possibility of there being a world based on Toy Story, or maybe even Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. One of those took until 2019 to finally get, and the other we'll probably never get because Disney wants you to forget it existed so they could push a movie that retcons it-

and actually I'm gonna say here since I'll never get the opportunity to say it again, that that chaps my ass thoroughly because Lightyear didn't HAVE to retcon Star Command. Why can't Buzz Lightyear just be a legacy character in-universe that's been rebooted and reimagined numerous times, like Ninja Turtles or G.i. Joe? Frankly I think that would make a lot more sense both thematically and in the sense that the timeline adds up better that way. Woody's Roundup was cancelled specifically because cowboys were out and spacemen were in, and when told that, Woody even says "I know how that feels." Wouldn't it be perfect irony if the space toy that started whooping his ass in popularity was a 1950s version of Buzz Lightyear? As they say, history often rhymes, right? Not only that though, but we see in one of the shorts that take place between 3 and 4, as in modern day, not during Andy's childhood, that an in-universe fast food chain is doing a Buzz Lightyear promotion, which only happens when something new and notable has happened in a franchise. You won't see Sonic the Hedgehog toys at McDonald's unless something is currently going on with Sonic, like a new movie. So wouldn't it make more sense if that's what Lightyear was for? If Lightyear is really supposed to be the defictionalization of whatever Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy, and Star Command is no-longer that, then it just begs the question of why the Poultry Palace is promoting it over a decade later. Why couldn't that just be what Lightyear was for; the Buzz Lightyear movie for Bonnie's generation? Look how easy it is to make it so they can coexist, but instead they've indirectly told the millions of people that watched Star Command growing up (and don't tell me it wasn't actually watched by a lot of people, they aired it in reruns for NINE YEARS, they wouldn't have done that if people weren't watching it) that the one they liked doesn't count and if given their own way wouldn't have even existed. Lemme tell you as somebody who's been around the reboot block enough times, not doing that goes a long way. Oh and on top of that, the one we get in its place isn't even very good. When looked at exclusively on its own merits it isn't that bad, but it's far from what I expect out of Pixar, especially with their grand return to theaters and with the character that might as well be their second mascot. With that considered, I'd go as far as to say it sucked, which just adds insult to injury. I'd dislike it a lot less if they would just put the old one on Disney+ or a DVD box set, ideally both, and give consumers, especially kids who are too young to have seen the old one when it was airing, the freedom to choose which one they prefer.

And I don't buy the current theories that they can't do that legally, I don't believe for a second that Viacom owns the distribution rights just because it aired on UPN, that doesn't prove anything, just that Disney licensed it to them. If Viacom retaining distribution rights was the terms of that deal then that opens several cans of worms. For one, why the fuck would Disney agree to that? I know Disney, like all big media conglomerates, makes boneheaded decisions all the time, but that's unrealistically boneheaded even for them. Then there's the fact that there is some physical media for the show, namely the VHS and DVD releases of the pilot movie, which I have both of, clips from episodes used as cutscenes in the tie-in game, which I have the Dreamcast version of, and a rare VHS that was packaged with one of the action figures containing the episode Planet of the Lost, none of which have any information relating to Viacom anywhere on their packaging, making it seem that Disney distributed these themselves. If nothing was stopping Disney from physically releasing the equivalent of four episodes, providing a glorified highlight reel to Traveller's Tales, and also airing all the episodes for the better part of a decade, then what's stopping them from releasing any of it on a streaming platform? Because clearly if Viacom owns the distribution rights THAT isn't what's stopping them. Also, TV recordings of all the episodes as well as mountains of clips are available on YouTube, and have been for a long time, if Viacom really owned the distribution rights, wouldn't they of all companies have an absolute field day taking them down? They're Viacom, that's what they're known for! Frankly my theory is a spin on the original theory that John Lasseter didn't like it, a theory most were satisfied with until he was fired, a new Toy Story movie came out right after his firing, making the time right to put out a DVD set or put it on Netflix (since Disney+ wasn't out yet), and yet still nothing happened with it. Considering the fact that Lasseter never officially said anything about the show, and even the show's producer Tad Stones admits that him disliking it was merely an impression he got and not something he knew for a fact, the old theory was immediately suspect. Maybe we had Lasseter wrong, maybe he did like it and just never felt the need to say it. But consider the fact that the show was made between the first two movies, but was held off on being released until a year after the second movie so they wouldn't compete, as well as how many years of planning typically goes into a movie before it officially enters production, especially at Pixar that's had movies planned out as long as a decade in advance, and maybe Lasseter really did make a point to keep the show buried, but by the time it was no-longer in his control Lightyear was already being planned, so perhaps Disney chose to keep doing it his way so that the show and movie won't compete, as they've been concerned with before. Maybe the reason they won't give a new generation of kids the freedom to choose which one they prefer is because they know they'll just pick the old one, and after putting 200 million dollars into the new one, that would be pretty embarrassing now wouldn't it?

There's little I'd love more than to get to watch what was my favorite show as a kid in the same picture quality as when it aired, but we'll likely never have it, not because of a licensing deal, but more likely because of corporate greed. In other news, water is wet, and as usual the corporate side of Hollywood can kiss my ass.
(back to the sentence I interrupted for that)
-which gave me plenty of time to imagine what the Keyblade for it would've looked like, that's the design I used here, which I won't dare try to claim is better than the Favorite Deputy, that one does a better job of representing both main characters, but as you can tell between it and my little tangent that kid-me was leaning more towards Star Command than Toy Story in terms of what I'd have chosen for a world
