[Toy Story] So is Buzz Lightyear a toy based on a cartoon, or a toy based on cartoon, based on a man? And if it's the latter, does that actually make the cartoon a biography?

Just to be clear, when I say based on a man, I'm referring to the upcoming "Lightyear" movie. Is Buzz real within the context of the Toy Story universe is what I'm asking.

IIRC Buzz Lightyear was the same model as He-Man. A Toy Company made a cartoon show in order to sell the toys depicted as characters in the show. We can see very clearly that Buzz Lightyear is NOT autobiographical because we can see that Andy lives in the 90's and 00's, all of Andy's surroundings proclaim that level of technology. But all of Buzz's technological surroundings are far future tech. So he has to be an entirely fictional character because he exists in a fundamentally different setting than can exist in the life of his owner.  If the toy's owner / show's viewer has 0 possibility of encountering the time, space, setting, and technology, it's safe to assume that the owner/viewer also has 0 possibility of encountering the person. He could meet Buzz's voice actor but that's as close as it gets.
