Tracking down every alien figure in Toy Story 3: The Video Game provides one of the most rewarding collectible hunts in the entire Toy Box mode. Finding all of these small green aliens unlocks exclusive rewards, customization options, and town upgrades for your customized wild west village. While some figures rest in plain sight, many require specific character abilities or hidden platforming tricks to discover.
Understanding the Alien Figure Quest Line
The Collect 'Em All quest begins after speaking with the Mayor inside the main hub of the Toy Box mode. He tasks players with recovering scattered Little Green Men who have wandered off into dangerous and remote corners of the map. Completing this collection is essential for players striving to achieve total completion in their world.
Each figure is tied to specific zones, meaning you will need to progress through basic town construction before accessing every hidden spot. Checking back regularly with daily gaming news updates can help players find community maps and guide breakdowns for tricky platforming challenges. Taking the time to unlock all town areas early saves significant backtracking later on.
Locations Near the Town and Outskirts
The first batch of Little Green Men is scattered around the main town plaza and nearby rooftops. You can find one figure perched high on top of the Town Hall building, which requires jumping from a nearby horse mounting block. Another rests behind the Sheriff's station inside a wooden crate that must be broken open using a ground pound attack.
As you venture toward the outskirts near the train station, keep an eye on the high cliff ledges framing the canyon. One alien is hidden tucked behind a stack of boulders near the railway tunnel entrance. Using Woody's pull-string ability on nearby hitching posts makes reaching these elevated ledges much easier.
Exploring Zurg's Space Port and the Haunted House
Unlocking Zurg's Space Port reveals several alien collectibles tucked away inside futuristic structures. One figure sits inside a glass container that requires solving a brief button-matching puzzle to open. Another is hidden behind the main launch tower, accessible only by gliding across the gap with Buzz Lightyear.
In the Haunted House zone, the atmosphere makes spotting small green collectibles a bit more challenging. Search inside the cemetery area behind the main manor, where a figure is hidden inside a glowing tomb. Additionally, check the upper balcony of the haunted mansion by climbing the side trellises.
Tips for Finding the Final Hidden Figures
If you are struggling to locate the final few Little Green Men, rely on sound cues that play when approaching rare collectibles. Listen for a subtle squeaking noise that indicates an alien figure is nearby. Scanning areas from high vantage points with camera controls can also reveal glowing green shapes in dark corners.
Make sure to utilize every character's unique traversal skill, as some figures are locked behind character-specific barriers. Swapping between Woody, Buzz, and Jessie ensures you have the necessary mobility to cross large chasms or climb steep walls. Once all figures are returned, return to the Mayor to claim your ultimate reward package.
