Toy coming to life with kick, a long time after (4,9)

'toy coming to life' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'kick a long time after' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'kick' could be 'buzz' (both can mean a feeling of excitement) and 'buzz' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'long' could be 'l' and 'l' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
