Buzz Lightyear Light Chaser Toy Battery Change

Son got a Buzz Lightyear toy with spinning lights and laser gun for Christmas. Battery's a bit low already, and I can't figure out where the battery compartment is. With the help of Google, I determined the batteries are hidden behind the jet pack, but no instructions as to how to replace them. Hence this post.

Lots of Buzz Lightyear toys out there. The one I'm talking about is a Disney World exclusive with three "tentacles" coming out of Buzz' helmet, which spins around and lights up when his legs are squeezed together.

Basically, you need to pop off the jet pack. There's a top hinge and a lower tab. Press the lower tab in, and use a screwdriver to pop out the jet pack. Be careful, as you might break off some plastic part. Hopefully, the pictures will help you.

    You are the bomb. Thanks for answering this question. My kid was so sad the batteries were dead and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to replace them. Thanks so much!

    Hey Thanks !! We have three versions of Buzz. Found your post on how to remove battery cover as there were no screws to remove on this particular one.
