This is a list of characters from the Toy Story trilogy which consists of the animated films Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3.

Toys

Andy's Toys

Woody

Buzz Lightyear

Jessie

Rex

Rex, sometimes known as Rex the Dinosaur, is a large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex who suffers from anxiety, an inferiority complex ("I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!"), and the concern that he is not scary enough. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy will get another, scarier dinosaur, but feels better after Buzz gives him a few pointers on how to roar more effectively. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn and by Earl Boen in the Toy Story 2 video game.

In Toy Story, he states that he was manufactured by a subsidiary of Mattel (coincidentally, real-life Rex toys used to be made by Hasbro, but as of 2009 are indeed made by Mattel). In the same film, he seems to know that Woody knocked Buzz out the window by accident, yet he sides against him out of pressure for the other toys. Feeling guilty, he is unhappy about Woody's disappearance and later vomits when he sees Buzz's broken arm. Later, after Rex realizes that Woody is innocent, Rex states "Great, now I have guilt!"

The beginning of Toy Story 2, he is shown playing the "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game, which terminates with Buzz being destroyed by Emperor Zurg, much to Rex's frustration. Nevertheless, thinking his video game experiences have prepared him for real combat, Rex accompanies Buzz, Potato Head, Hamm, and Slinky on their mission to rescue Woody after he is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn. When the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Rex excitedly finds a "Buzz Lightyear" video game strategy guide, only to lose it soon after. In spite of that he is able to give Buzz (the toys take a "Bonus Belt" Buzz instead) pointers from information he has acquired from the manual. At one point, he parodies a scene from Jurassic Park by chasing after the car that the toys drive in Al's Toy Barn, in which Mr. Potato Head spots his reflection in a rear view mirror. Rex is considered to be the heaviest of Andy's toys when he loses his grip on the new Buzz's utility line and pushes the toys to the bottom, causing the new Buzz's strength to give out. Later, Buzz #2 and the toys use Rex as a battering ram to break into Al's apartment. When the toys go down the elevator after Al leaves the room with Woody and the Roundup gang, he witnesses the duel between Buzz #2 and an Emperor Zurg action figure. When Zurg is about to finish off Buzz #2, he turns away, not bearing to look anymore, but his tail knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft, making him feel overjoyed about finally defeating Zurg, but this time, for real.

In Toy Story 3, he was seen to be especially sad about Andy's lack of attention to the toys, expressing joy when Andy held him for a few moments. He, along with Woody, is still sad about losing his friend (and Woody's girlfriend) Bo Peep as he mentions her early in the film. He is ultimately responsible for saving the toys' lives, when Buzz uses his tail to tear out of a garbage bag they were about to be crushed in by a garbage truck. When the toys are donated to Sunnyside daycare, Rex's tail came off (then quickly put back on) and his hip and foot are covered in yellow paint after the abusive toddlers played with him. Rex comments, "Andy never played with us like that!" Just as in Toy Story 2, he is depicted as the heaviest of Andy's toys, as his weight combined with Hamm's was enough to prevent a reset Buzz from escaping a box they sat upon. At the garbage dump, Rex was the last to escape the shredder, and barely escaped it by grabbing onto a larger piece of metal than the other toys did to survive. While all of his toy friends and Lotso are riding on a conveyor belt full of shredded trash, Rex mistakes the incinerator for daylight from his further sight. They all try to run away from it. He was seen to be the most horrified when Lotso left them to die in the incinerator, and was also the most solemn about going down it. However, Rex is saved by the alien toys commandeering a huge claw. The toys are finally given to a girl named Bonnie, and Rex becomes close friends with Trixie the Triceratops, who he plays computer games with and is seen together with often.

In an outtake of Toy Story 2, the toys use him as a battering ram, only for Rex to hurt his head when banged against the locked grate. Rex makes a cameo appearance in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at the crosswalk with Mike and Sulley who both are smaller than him and used like the Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus. Rex is a playable character on the Toy Story Racer Video Game. In the movie WALL-E, Rex is seen in the background inside the truck.

Hamm

Hamm, often known as Hamm the Piggy Bank, or on occasion as Evil Doctor Porkchop when used by Andy as a villain, is a wise-cracking realist piggy bank with a cork in his belly (to replace his original stopper which was lost prior to Toy Story). He and Mr. Potato Head appear to be best friends, as they are often seen playing games and clapping hands with each other whenever something spectacular happens. Also, Hamm takes a dislike to the chicken mascot of Al's Toy Barn, especially when he later realizes that Al McWhiggin, the mascot and owner of Al's Toy Barn, as well as the crooked yard sale customer who stole Woody, are the same man. Out of all the toys, he is shown to have the most knowledge of the outside, often being very familiar with different technologies or devices that are shown.

In Toy Story 2, after Woody is stolen, he and Potato Head set up a crime scene to present Woody's kidnapping to the other toys, but Rex destroys their presentation. After helping the toys find the Al's Toy Barn commercial on TV, Hamm, along with Buzz, Potato Head, Rex, and Slinky, go on a mission to rescue Woody. It is during that mission when he displays embarrassment after his cork falls out. (He requests no one to look until he gets it back in.) The following day, he is the first to spot Al's Toy Barn right across the street. During their search in the toy store, Hamm spots a group of Barbie dolls having a party and asks them where to find the owner of Al's Toy Barn. When Tour Guide Barbie drives the toys into the Buzz Lightyear aisle, Hamm spots a "Bonus Belt" Buzz, thinking he is Andy's Buzz (but later, the toys are able to rejoin with the "true" Buzz). When the toys break into Al's apartment, Hamm knocks down the box with the prospector inside to "You heard the kung fu? Well, get ready for pork chop!". After the toys return home, Hamm attempts to beat a "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game that is previously tried by Rex and asks if he can play for him, but Rex doesn't want to play after he defeated Zurg in the elevator, causing Hamm to lose. He sees a sobbing Al on TV about how he lost his money, which makes Hamm happy. His voice is performed by John Ratzenberger in many occasions and by Andrew Stanton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.

In Toy Story 3, Hamm is as angry as the other toys when it seemed Andy threw them out. He is still as tech-savvy as ever in the film, and identifies several types of garbage bags, locks, and windows. He helps Rex trap Buzz after he is reset by Lotso and his crew to his delusional space ranger thinking from the first film, and instructs the toys on how to set Buzz back to normal. After the toys are saved from an incinerator related death because of Lotso's betrayal, Hamm wishes for revenge on the bear for leaving them to die, before Woody talks him and Slinky out of it. He is donated to Bonnie, a little girl who found Woody earlier in the film.

In a 2010 advertisement for the United States Postal Service promoting Toy Story 3, Hamm wears a postal worker's hat while promoting the Priority Mail service, likely as a homage to Ratzenberger's famous role of mail carrier Cliff Clavin on the sitcom Cheers.

Slinky Dog

Slinky Dog, also known as Slinky or Slink is a toy dachshund with a metal slinky for a body, who speaks with a southern accent. Slinky's head, feet, and tail are plastic. Slinky also has a green collar. In the first two films, he is voiced by the late Jim Varney. In the third film, he is voiced by Blake Clark. In Toy Story Racer, he is voiced by Darryl Kurylo. Slinky Dog is based on Slinky, a pull toy by James Industries, which was popular in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. With the permission of James Industries, Slinky Dog was partially redesigned for the film by Pixar artist Bud Luckey to make him more appealing as an animated character.

In Toy Story, he likes playing checkers with Woody. He is also one of the toys who believes it was an accident when Woody knocks Buzz out the window. He is not happy about Woody's disappearance. He catches the lights when Woody calls them in the window until a grumpy Potato Head snatches it. He then goes away when seeing Buzz's arm by closing the curtains of Andy's window. He is also guilty when he sees Woody telling the truth and holds Woody in order to help them, but when RC is tired, he loses his grip on Woody and gets stretched out and his slink is broken when they dodge as RC is tossed because his head and hind are in both sides as they pull it backwards, his slink is destroyed, until it is fixed at the end of the film.

In the beginning of Toy Story 2, Slinky Dog is the one who finds Woody's hat, which he describes as the "good news," but describes the "bad news" as where he has found the hat. After Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn, Slinky joins Buzz, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Rex on a mission to rescue Woody. His springy coil is used as a bungee cord when the toys jump from the roof of Andy's house. When the toys break into Al's apartment, Slinky uses his spring to hold Jessie and Bullseye back by coiling them up so the toys can safely rescue Woody. After Al packs Woody and his Roundup gang and heads for the airport, Slinky, suspended from the elevator ceiling by Buzz, Hamm and Potato Head (while Rex watches the duel between Buzz #2 and Zurg), reaches for the case that contains Woody. Just as he opens the case and grabs Woody's hand, the elevator reaches the lobby and Al walks out, causing Slinky to stretch out until the Prospector pulls Woody back into the case, causing Slinky to lose his grip on Woody and rebound. When the toys carjack a Pizza Planet delivery truck, Slinky controls the pedals of the vehicle. At the airport, Slinky assists Buzz when the toys split into groups, but his hind-body gets hooked onto a luggage handle behind him and is unable to follow Buzz as he once again gets stretched out; nevertheless, he manages to catch up with Buzz and the other toys as they capture the vile Prospector. After the toys return home, he is seen alongside Buster barking at the door and calls to the toys to help the dog exit the room (done by Jessie). In an outtake, Slinky is seen caressing his hind-body after catching up with the group.

In Toy Story 3, Slinky has a smaller role compared to his role in the previous two films. Slinky is still very loyal to his friends, but is heartbroken when he believes he and the other toys are thrown out by Andy. At Sunnyside Daycare, he is seen being tangled up constantly by the young children, and is easily dispatched by Lotso's gang and imprisoned. He is seen to be the happiest toy to see Woody return, and assists him in getting rid of the Monkey toy who monitors the security cameras. While the Monkey is overpowering Woody, Slinky grabs a piece of scotch tape and the two succeed in taping up the Monkey. After reaching the Dumpster, Slinky, being old but still has a spring in his step, stretched himself so the toys can climb across to saftly. Suddenly, Lotso appeared with his henchmen, and Lotso kicked Slinky's paws, causing him to return to the chute. When the toys end up in the junkyard, Slinky is the first to be sucked up by a magnetic ceiling due to his metallic rings in his body. Lotso leaves the toys to die in an incinerator, and upon watching Buzz taking Jessie's hand in solemn acceptance of their doom, Slinky is the first to do the same, and reaches for Hamn and Rex. When the toys are rescued from death by the three Aliens, he is the most vocal about wanting to get revenge on Lotso for leaving them to die before Woody convinces his friends that Lotso isn't worth it. He and the other toys are eventually donated to Bonnie, a little girl who took Woody home earlier in the film.

Mr. Potato Head

Mr. Potato Head (often referred to as simply Potato Head, Potato or One-Eyed Bart when used by Andy as a villain) is a moody doll based on itself by Playskool. He is outspoken and sarcastic potato-shaped toy, his patented design allows him to separate his detachable parts from his body by removing them from the holes on his body. He also has a compartment on his lower back to store extra appendages. He is capable of retaining control over his parts even if they are several centimeters/inches away from his main body. For example, he can still see if his detachable eyes are removed, as well as being able to move his hands if they are detached. The same thing applies to his "Mrs." counterpart. While this attribute is mostly used for comedic effect (i.e. as a running gag, he often finds himself being split or falling apart due to outside forces), it does have its uses, particularly in the second and third films. He is a minor antagonist in the first film (though he later reforms in the end), but becomes a supporting protagonist in the last two films.

In Toy Story, when he becomes fascinated with all the features of the Buzz Lightyear action figure that Andy has received for his birthday, Potato Head also makes fun of Woody for not having a laser like Buzz and by describing Woody's sampled voice "like a car ran over it." The cause of his antagonism may very well be that he is usually the bad guy in Andy's plays about Woody being the hero and undergoes such trouble as being 'jailed' in Molly's crib and slobbered all over. After Buzz is knocked out of the window, Potato Head is quick to accuse Woody of being a jealous "toy-killer," thinking that Woody might do the same to him if Andy plays with him more often, and turns most of the other toys against Woody and leads a mutiny with them. As Andy is looking for Buzz, Potato Head displays a drawing of a hangman noose to Woody using Etch, threatening the former. He is ecstatic when he learns about Woody's disappearance, as he admits Woody's guilt in the window incident. Later, Woody throws a string of Christmas lights from Sid's house to Andy's house; Slinky catches it, but Potato Head snatches it away and calls Woody a liar. Woody then tries to convince the toys to let him get back by pretending that Buzz is with him, but Mr. Potato Head remains suspicious of what Woody is actually doing. When Woody blows away the cover by exposing Buzz's severed arm, Potato Head furiously labels him a "murdering dog" as the toys back away from the window, leaving Woody depressed and stranded in Sid's house. During the move to Andy's new house, after Woody tosses RC onto the street to rescue Buzz, Potato Head, thinking Woody is trying to kill another toy, orders the other toys to "toss him overboard;" however, when Bo Peep reveals that "Woody was telling the truth," all of the toys are guilty for their misunderstanding, especially Potato Head for having Woody thrown off. He holds Slinky's tail to help Woody back at the truck. He was hit by Slinky after he loses his grip on Woody. When Woody tosses RC in the truck, all of the toys dodge, but Potato Head was hit and crushed by RC. At the end of the film, he is surprised to hear Molly receiving Mrs. Potato Head for her Christmas present and promply 'shaves' by removing his moustache and throwing it away.

In Toy Story 2, after Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody, he is shown in a much more positive light by going on a mission with Buzz, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky to rescue Woody. Later, when they are going to leave, Mrs. Potato Head packs some extra pair of shoes and angry eyes on his back compartment. At one point, when the toys are reprimanded by Buzz for requesting a rest, Buzz mentions the time when Potato Head has ordered Woody to be thrown out of the moving van in the first film, and Potato Head is shown to still be regretting this greatly, even though amends have already been made. When the toys cross the street to Al's Toy Barn, they cause a semi to jackknife, and the chains restraining a large pipe on the semi break, freeing the pipe, which rolls down the street, during which Mr. Potato Head gets one of his feet stuck in a chewing gum and has to pull his foot off the gum before the pipe can crush him. When the toys search Al's Toy Barn, Potato Head takes the wheel of the car that Hamm has been driving, but when Tour Guide Barbie hops into the car, Potato Head remarks "I'm a married spud," making him and Hamm exchange seats. After the toys break into Al's room, Potato Head attempts to frighten Jessie by reaching into his back compartment for his angry eyes, but attaches his spare pair of shoes by mistake. When the toys leave the apartment after Al leaves with Woody, Potato Head throws his hat like a frisbee to jam the closing doors, letting the toys pass through. Outside, he is the first to spot an idling Pizza Planet delivery truck nearby. While the toys chase Al in the truck, Potato Head saves three alien toys from flying out the window. In the airport, when he sees the luggage area, he gasps and his angry eyes and pair of shoes come out after his compartment opens. He feels annoyed when the aliens repeatedly express their eternal gratefulness towards him, but after the toys return home, he reluctantly gives in when his wife wants to adopt the aliens much to his dismay. In the outtakes, Mrs. Potato Head is shown packing a lot of things behind Mr. Potato Head's compartment. In the first outtake, Mrs. Potato Head packs him some cheese puffs (if he gets hungry) and a key (unknown purpose for him even for Mrs. Potato Head). In the second outtake, Mrs. Potato Head puts in a golf ball (if he has time for golf), a plastic steak, a rubber ducky, and a yo-yo. In the third outtake, an extra bouncy, bouncy ball and some extra teeth (which chatter causing him to jump). In the fourth outtake, crayons (if he gets bored) and some blue Play-Doh (which causes his ears to pop out). In the last outtake, Mrs. Potato Head puts a dime (to call her) and monkey chow and says "Come here, monkeys." and they are harassing Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head tells the crew to call his agent.

In Toy Story 3, he is seen to be still resentful of the aliens, who still worship him for saving their lives. Again, Potato Head is the most doubtful toy of Woody when he and the other toys are almost thrown away. When Lotso's dark dark attitude is revealed, he is the most vocal critic, and tries to defend his friends and wife from Lotso. However, Lotso has him thrown into a sandbox overnight to "learn some manners" by Big Baby. When Woody returns to Sunnyside with an escape plan, he acts as a signal to the other toys and purposely gets himself back in the box. His body parts separate from his body, and use a tortilla as a body. However, the tortilla is eaten by a bird (Feathers), so Potato Head uses a cucumber instead. He remarked he felt terrible feeling so fresh and healthy in his vegetable body. Bullseye returns to him his body, but the toys end up in a landfill, facing death at the hands of an incinerator. Potato Head joined hands with his wife and Rex - when taking Rex's hand, he seemed to make amends with Rex by nodding solemnly after years of dismissing him. Potato Head and the toys are saved by his wife's adoptive alien children, who he now accepts and declares himself to be eternally grateful, just as the aliens had told him when they met. He is donated to Bonnie at the end of the film. He is seen in the credits being pestered by the Peas-in-a-Pod.

He is seen as an Interactive Audio-Animatronic at Toy Story Midway Mania!. He is voiced by Don Rickles in all three films, and by Kenneth Mars in the video games.

Mrs. Potato Head

Mrs. Potato Head (referred to as One-Eyed Betty when used by Andy as a villain) is Mr. Potato Head's wife and female counterpart. Although mentioned as one of Molly's Christmas presents near the end of the first movie, she isn't seen until Toy Story 2. She loves to remove parts of her body and swap them with him. At the beginning of the film, her husband has found her lost earring. Before her husband leaves with Buzz and his troops, she stores his "extra pair of shoes and angry eyes" into his back compartment. (The outtakes show Mrs. Potato Head overloading her husband's back compartment with several unnecessary appendages: cheese puffs, a key, a golf ball, a plastic steak, a rubber ducky, a yo-yo, a bouncy ball, wind-up novelty teeth, two yellow crayons, blue Play-Doh, a dime, and monkey chow). She also warns the toys by saying "Don't talk to any toy you don't know!". At the end of the film, Mrs. Potato Head becomes adoptive mother of the three Squeeze Toy Aliens that Andy's toys had found in the Pizza Planet truck, rescued, and brought home.

In Toy Story 3, she leaves one of her eyes behind at Andy's house when they are donated to Sunnyside daycare. She is the one who tells the toys it truly was an accident that they were almost thrown away, due to her eye in Andy's room. She is saved from death in an incinerator by her adoptive children, and much to her delight, her husband now accepts them. She recovers her missing eye before she and the toys are donated to Bonnie. Even though she was Molly's Christmas gift in the first film, the second and third films imply that she is one of Andy's toys. She is voiced by Estelle Harris.

Bo Peep

Bo Peep is a sweet and lovable porcelain shepherdess figurine. Bo Peep and her sheep are adornments of Molly's bedside lamp. She is inspired by the of the classic children's nursery rhyme, Little Bo-Peep. Bo is sometimes considered to be "Andy's toy", because Andy likes to make her the damsel in distress in his plays. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody, providing a calm and loving comfort whenever he is scared. She is noted for using her shepherdess crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. In private, she is a great deal more daring and seductive with her words and actions, which Woody seems to be quite fond of. She seems to have faith in Woody, which is shown when she assures him that Andy, who is excited to have Buzz Lightyear, will still have a special place for him and that whether if Woody has his hat or not, Andy will still take him out to Cowboy Camp. In Toy Story, she is one of the very few toys in Andy's room who believed that Woody would not intentionally harm Buzz when he accidentally pushed him out of the window. She is shown to be shocked upon hearing about Woody's disappearance when Andy comes back home from Pizza Planet. On the night before the moving day, Bo Peep is shown to be worried about Woody when she sees a sad Andy sleeping. Later, after witnessing Woody being thrown out of the moving truck under Mr. Potato Head's orders, Bo Peep helps the toys realize that "Woody was telling the truth," and the toys brighten up. In the end, Bo Peep and Woody kiss under a mistletoe.

In Toy Story 2, she has a much smaller role in the film than she had in the first film. She is shown feeling devastated after Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody. When Buzz plans a rescue, Bo Peep gives Buzz a kiss (intended for Woody when Buzz finds him) and waves goodbye to Buzz and the other toys, wishing them good luck, as they leave on their mission to rescue Woody. After the toys return home, Woody shows her his arm fixed by Andy himself, which she greatly admires. Finally, she and Woody are last seen together with Buzz and Jessie as they enjoy watching Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me."

Bo Peep does not appear in Toy Story 3. It is implied that sometime between the events of Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, Bo was sold in a yard sale with her sheep. The only toy to mention her was Rex when the remaining toys remember their friends who are no longer with them. When Rex says her name, it is apparent that Woody is still saddened and hurt over her loss due to their romantic relationship. However, she appears only as a background toy in archive footage at the beginning of the film during a home video montage of Andy as a child.

Bo Peep's shrinking role in the series after the first film is explained in The Art of Toy Story 3. Bo Peep was among the main cast of the first film as a voice of female reason, and was not Andy's toy, but a porcelain lamp. Due to being unable to find a believable spot in the story, Bo Peep only appears in the beginning and end of Toy Story 2. Bo Peep was ultimately written out of the story due to the fact Molly and Andy wouldn't want her anymore, and emblatic of the losses the toys have had over time. She also was written out due to the belief that Andy wouldn't have anything to say about her when he gives the other toys to Bonnie at the third film's end. However, she does appear in Toy Story 3: The Video Game.

She is voiced by Annie Potts in Toy Story and Toy Story 2.

Bullseye

Bullseye is a non-speaking horse toy. He is modeled after a character on the fictional television show Woody's Roundup, where the characters consisted of Sheriff Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete the Prospector, and Bullseye, who is Woody's horse. Both the Bullseye of the television show and the toy are fiercely loyal and obedient to Woody. The theme song of the show is playing on the record player when Bullseye jumps onto the disc while attempting to catch a toy snake fired from a toy boot by Woody. Bullseye is shown to loathe fights as he hides in a can when Jessie jumps on Woody. He is also upset at Woody's intention to abandon the Roundup gang to return to Andy, but grins when Woody decides to stay with the gang. When Woody ultimately decides to return to Andy's room, it is Bullseye's loyalty that causes Woody to try to get the other toys to join him. At the airport, after Bullseye escapes from Al's case, Woody and Buzz Lightyear mount Bullseye and gallop across the airfield to rescue Jessie from being sent to Japan. Although Woody gets separated from Buzz, Buzz commandeers Bullseye to follow Woody, as they are seen galloping next to the wheels of the plane Woody and Jessie are on as it heads down the runway. The mission finally ends when Woody and Jessie swing down from the plane and land on Bullseye's back right behind Buzz, seconds before the plane takes off. After the toys return home, both Bullseye and Jessie come along as part of Andy's toys. Bullseye has every letter of Andy's name printed on the sole of each of his hooves.

Bullseye returns in Toy Story 3 as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room. At Sunnyside Daycare, he proves his loyalty to Woody when he makes clear he wants to stay with him. He only stays when Woody tells him to since Woody doesn't want him to be alone in the attic. He helps with the toys' escape, and at the garbage dump he is the most desperate to escape the incinerator. He is donated to Bonnie, along with the rest of the toys, at the film's end.

Bullseye acts like a dog in many ways. Unlike most of the other toys, Bullseye cannot communicate in clear speech but sounds like an actual horse and uses body language to speak. According to a character interview that used to be on the Toy Story website, Bullseye communicated with Jessie while in storage by tapping his hooves to yes or no questions.

Squeeze Toy Aliens

The squeeze toy aliens are in all three Toy Story movies. They are a series of 3-eyed rubber aliens. In Toy Story, there are hundreds of them in the spaceship arcade game at Pizza Planet believing that the claw is in charge. In Toy Story 2, a trio of them is hanging above the dashboard in the Pizza Planet truck and they nearly fall out the window. Fortunately, Mr. Potato Head saves them and throughout the rest of the movie they frequently say "You saved our lives, we are eternally grateful." They latch onto Mr. Potato Head, and Mrs. Potato Head is so happy, she suggests that they adopt them. They appear in Toy Story 3 as the "henchmen" under Evil Bart and One-Eyed Betty, and serve as the getaway drivers during the opening scene's train heist. They all wear pirate-style eye patches just like their adoptive parents. The same trio also are donated to Sunnyside along with the rest of Andy's toys. They later rescue everyone with a claw crane for which the Potato head's finally adopt them as their children. The trio are later delivered to Bonnie along with the rest of Andy's toys.

Barbie

Barbie is a doll owned by Molly. Molly owned three Barbie dolls in the second film, but in the third film only one is present. It is presumed that the other two were sold at a yard sale with many other toys. She has a ponytail decorated in a pink scarf with a matching belt around her waist and the same color of high heel shoes on her feet and wears a turquoise sleeveless unitard with striped legwarmers. She was a toy that belonged to Andy's sister but has since been outgrown by the child and Barbie was included in the box for donations. Throughout the film, she falls in love with Ken. However, a problem is that Barbie's a protagonist and Ken's an antagonist, which causes her to break up with him for what he has done to her friends. Barbie later ties up Ken and interrogates him on where to find a manual to Buzz Lightyear, then disguises herself with Ken's space outfit to retrieve the manual, and assists Andy's toys in resetting Buzz back to his original state. When the toys are stopped by Lotso and his gang from escaping Sunnyside, Barbie tells Lotso, with surprising understanding of civics, about how it is better to have the toys be treated fairly than be ruled by a dictator. Ken, whose love for Barbie has made him turn against Lotso, stands up to protect Barbie and her friends, and Barbie's love for Ken reemerges. Barbie tries hard to rescue her friends when they are taken away by a garbage truck, but is stopped by Ken from risking her life. In the end credits of the film, they are once again in a relationship and revolutionize Sunnyside, becoming its co-leaders.

Barbie resembles a real doll from 1983 called Great Shape Barbie.[1] She is voiced by Jodi Benson.

Sarge and the Bucket O' Soldiers

Sarge, also known as Army Sarge and Sergeant, is the gung-ho commander of an army of plastic toy soldiers from Bucket O Soldiers, voiced by R. Lee Ermey and loosely based on Ermey's role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. He and the Bucket O' Soldiers are set in particular positions. They are highly disciplined with a "Leave no man behind" policy and are masters of reconnaissance. Woody describes them as "professionals." Sarge and his soldiers go on missions to help Andy's toys check up on Andy's activities with his friends or family. Sarge himself stays behind, at great risk, to save one of his men that Mrs. Davis accidentally steps on. Sarge and his troops frequently help out their fellow toys. With their assistance, the toys discover what presents Andy and Molly are getting on birthdays and Christmas. At the beginning of Toy Story, the soldiers venture out of Andy's room and hide in an indoor plant to report Andy's birthday presents to the toys and one of his comrades was injured after Mrs. Davis accidentally steps on one of them. However, for Woody's deeds in helping save Buzz, Sarge is proud to work under Woody once again, as shown at the end of the film when they hide in a Christmas tree to report to the toys what Andy and Molly are getting for Christmas.

In Toy Story 2, Sarge orders the soldiers to hold back the door (with help from Rocky) to prevent Buster's entry, but Buster bursts open the door, causing the soldiers to go flying. When Woody alerts the toys about the yard sale occurring outside the house, he signals Sarge for an "emergency roll call" and Sarge orders the toys to line up in a single-file line.

In Toy Story 3, several years after Toy Story, only Sarge and two of his men are seen. After a failed attempt to have Andy play with all his toys, Sarge and his last two men (who have attached parachutes) leave Andy's room to find a better life. Woody believes they are going AWOL, but Sarge claims that their mission is complete, and that Army men are always the first to be thrown away. Before they leave Sarge tells Woody that it has been an honor serving him, then he wishes them luck. They appear again at the end of the film where they land on Sunnyside, and possibly recognizing Barbie, settle down under Ken and Barbie's leadership.

RC

RC is Andy's remote controlled car. He has a green body with blue splash decals on the front. RC speaks in "revving" sounds (he can't talk, but Potato Head can perfectly understand his motor sounds). In Toy Story, Woody uses RC in his attempt to push Buzz behind the dresser, accidentally knocking him out of the window in the process. He uses RC again to rescue Buzz during the moving scene at the end of the film. After the toys, mistakenly believing that Woody is trying to get rid of RC, toss Woody out of the moving truck, Woody ends up on RC with Buzz and switches the remote to turbo mode to catch up with the truck, but its batteries deplete, causing RC to slow down to a stop. When Woody lights up the rocket taped onto Buzz's back, Woody and Buzz hold onto RC as they rocket toward the truck, but the force of the rocket lifts Woody up from RC. Nevertheless, Woody manages to toss RC back into the truck before he and Buzz go skyrocketing into the air. RC stands for "Radio Controlled". RC is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game. One odd tidbit about RC is that though his remote was supposedly lost when Woody and Buzz dropped it on the road to the move; in Toy Story 2, Andy still has the remote, and uses RC as a launch vehicle while playing.

RC was most likely sold in a yard sale along with Bo Peep and some other unfortunate toys and appears only in archive footage in Toy Story 3.

Lenny

Lenny, often known as Lenny the Binoculars, is a pair of wind up binoculars. He is used as binoculars by the other toys in various situations and is talkative when he warns the toys what he sees on his watch. In Toy Story, Woody uses Lenny when watching Sid and his dog Scud mess around in their backyard, and Lenny warns the toys to "hit the dirt" when he sees Sid light up the fuse on the Combat Carl toy. During the moving scene, Lenny warns the toys when he sees Woody riding on RC with Buzz and approaching the truck, and Bo Peep uses him to get a closer look. He warns the toys again when Woody and Buzz approach the truck fast by Sid's rocket taped to Buzz's back. In Toy Story 2, Buzz uses Lenny to keep watch on Woody during the events at the yard sale until Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody. Lenny appears in via archive footage from when Andy was young in Toy Story 3, for he was most likely sold in a yard sale just like Bo Peep. Lenny is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

In an outtake, it was revealed that Lenny had left two black outlined circles on Buzz's helmet (which Buzz accused Woody for doing so).

Lenny is voiced by Joe Ranft.

Wheezy

Wheezy, often known as Wheezy the Penguin, is a rubber squeeze toy penguin with a red bow tie. He is voiced by the late Joe Ranft.

Woody found Wheezy after Andy's mom puts him on the shelf in Toy Story 2. He was about to be sold in a yard sale because his "squeaker" was broken, but Woody rescues him from the yard sale, only to be left behind and subsequently stolen by Al. When Buzz Lightyear plans a rescue, Wheezy, pushed by Rocky and Robot, begs Buzz to rescue Woody. While held by Rocky, Wheezy waves goodbye to Buzz and his rescue troops as they leave on their mission. At the end of the film, he gets a new "squeaker" (he credits Mr. Shark for his contribution) and sings the ending theme of the movie.

In one outtake, when the microphone thrown by Mr. Mike strikes Wheezy, Wheezy apologizes for "hurting" his equipment and reminds him to aim at his flippers, although stating he is not a very perfect catch. Another outtake shows Wheezy inadvertently "swallowing" his recently-replaced squeaker when he gets struck by Mr. Mike's microphone again.

Wheezy also got his name from having Asthma.

Wheezy often sings in a deep voice for all of his friends (provided by the late Robert Goulet).

Wheezy was sold at a yard sale 4 years after Toy Story 2 and only appeared in the archive footage of Andy as a kid in Toy Story 3. Woody, it is implied, was no longer able to help Wheezy escape this time as he did 4 years earlier. He does make an appearance in Toy Story 3: The Video Game, where is voiced by Charlie Adler.

Etch

Etch is an Etch-A-Sketch magic screen by Ohio Art Company. Etch is able to draw quickly and, not surprisingly, very well. Such sketches include guns, portraits of Buzz, Woody and Al, Hangman nooses, and even semi-complicated maps. This is his form of communication as he is unable to talk.

In Toy Story, Woody compliments Etch's art by saying that he has the fastest knobs in the west. He was also seen in the background many times, such as during the staff meetings and during Andy's birthday and Christmas gift opening scenes. He became fascinated with Buzz during the middle of the film when he sketched a portrait of him. Then angered by this, Woody erased it.

In Toy Story 2, Etch was seen helping Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and the gang to identify Woody's kidnapper, Al. Later on, when the toys were surfing channels to find the location on how to find Al's Toy Barn, Etch is seen in the back as he was ready to draw a map for Buzz. Near the end of the movie, sometime before Andy comes back from cowboy camp, Etch, as well as the rest of the toys (then including Jessie and Bullseye), were aligned to welcome Andy home, with a "Welcome Home, Andy" sign written on Etch.

Etch was sold at a yard sale years after the second Toy Story and only appeared in the archive footage of Andy as a kid in Toy Story 3. He was also mentioned by Woody as one of the friends he and the rest of Andy's toys lost.

Little Tikes

Little Tikes are a set of toys directly taken from the Little Tikes company. They make brief appearances with Andy's Toys throughout the first Toy Story and Toy Story 2, however, they are incapable of speech, but rather make a very high pitched squeak instead. Little Tikes are 'citizens' in Toy Box Mode in Toy Story 3: The Video Game

Mike

Mike, also known as Mr. Mike, is a toy tape recorder by Playskool who helps Woody to amplify his voice when the toys have a staff meeting in Toy Story. At the end of Toy Story 2, he serves as a karaoke machine when Wheezy starts singing. Mike's name is derived from "mic", the abbreviated form of the word "microphone". Mr. Mike did not appear in Toy Story 3. He was donated, sold in yard sales or handed down to Molly sometime between the events after Toy Story 2.

Mr. Spell

Mr. Spell is based on a popular 1970s Speak & Spell toy by Texas Instruments. He frequently holds or has held seminars on a variety of topics such as "plastic corrosion awareness" and "what to do if you or part of you is swallowed". He also reveals the words he is saying.

He did not play a particularly large role in the first film, but appeared in many background scenes. He played a bigger role near the beginning of the movie when Woody was holding the staff meeting for all the toys. Also, when Andy's friends came to his birthday party, the toys panicked in thinking that they might be replaced with new toys and Mr. Spell, along with basically everyone else aside from Woody, ran to the window in panic to see the size of the presents. Then later, when Andy's friends were running up to his room, Woody told everyone to go back to their places and the toys began to scatter and Mr. Spell can be seen in the overhead shot running in fright and then again behind Mr. Potato Head.

In Toy Story 2, when Buster finds Woody, Mr. Spell displays 13.5, the amount of time in seconds it has elapsed for Buster to find Woody, setting a new record. Later, after Woody is stolen from a yard sale, Buzz uses Mr. Spell to help Andy's toys figure out who has stolen Woody. Mr. Spell is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon.

Mr. Spell did not appear in Toy Story 3. He was sold in a yard sale along with Wheezy, Etch, and Bo Peep.

Rocky Gibraltar

Rocky Gibraltar, more simply referred to as Rocky, is a figure of a heavy-weight wrestler, probably based on Wrestling Superstars collectible wrestling figures made by Hasbro. He is the strongest toy in Andy's room, even stronger than Buzz Lightyear. In the first movie, he is seen lifting weights (tinker toys) with Snake, Buzz, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex. Rocky lifts the heaviest weights out of all of Andy's toys. As with Troll, Rocky is silent and plays a minor role in the movies, but he can speak in the Disney Adventures comics and in the Toy Story Activity Center CD-Rom game from Disney Interactive, in the Activity Center computer game, he can be seen on the top shelf playing cards with Hamm and replies in third-person, saying, "Rocky needs to work on brain muscles". He is one of the toys who stand against Woody after knocking Buzz by the way of snapping him. After Woody throws RC off the moving truck, Rocky, under Mr. Potato Head's orders, plays a prominent role in Woody's torture by spinning him in the air and later tossing him off the truck personally. But when the toys realize that Woody's only use of RC is to help Buzz onto the truck, Bo Peep calls Rocky who then redeems himself by lowering the truck's ramp for them.

In Toy Story 2, Rocky, with Sarge's toy soldiers, tries to hold back the door to prevent Buster from entering, but Buster rams the door open, causing Rocky and the soldiers to go flying. Rocky is also seen holding Wheezy as Wheezy begs Buzz to rescue Woody and when waving Buzz and his rescue squad goodbye as they leave on their mission. At the end of the movie, Rocky is seen enjoying Wheezy's rendition of "You've got a Friend in me".

Rocky is presumably sold at a yard sale sometime between the events of Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3. He only appears in the third film via archive footage of Andy as a child.

Rocky's name and a logo on his championship belt are a references to the Rock of Gibraltar. Rocky is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

In the Toy Story Activity Center game he is voiced by Jack Angel.

Snake and Robot

Snake is a green-purple jointed rattlesnake, while Robot is a toy made by Playskool. Robot can talk, but Snake cannot. In Toy Story, Snake and Robot's job was "Podium Duty". Robot is also seen using the bottom of his feet as a treadmill for when Buzz works out. Snake and Robot also help Buzz repair his "ship". Snake and Robot are usually seen together, posing the question if they are best friends or not. Snake was with the other toys when Woody accidentally knocked Buzz out of the window. Robot has two lines, and is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon.

Mr. Shark

Mr. Shark is the squeaky rubber shark toy from Andy's toy box. In Toy Story, he is shown to be talking as when Woody wakes up in the toy-box and notices he doesn't have his hat on, Shark pretends he is Woody and says, "Hey Look, I'm Woody! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!" (also a reference to a vulture cartoon by The Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson). Woody sees Shark, laughs in a sarcastic way, and "swipes" his hat off Shark's head.

In Toy Story 2 when Andy plays with his toys just before he goes to Cowboy Camp, the color of Shark changes from blue to grey. Also when Woody screams "Yard sale" he looks up from the toy box. At the end of the sequel, Wheezy credits Mr. Shark for finding him an extra squeaker in the toy box as a replacement for his old broken one.

Mr. Shark is shown via archive footage in Toy Story 3, having presumably been sold at a yard sale after the second film.

In the special Toy Story disc edition "Toy Story treats" he tells toy "terror stories". Shark's voice is played by Jack Angel.

Roly Poly Clown

Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy with a button-down hand-painted-jacket with yellow stripes. He also cannot talk, but he can laugh. He is seen more commonly in the first film. As well as a hand-painted jacket, he also wears a party hat with stripes. Instead of walking or hopping like many other toys, he rolls on his side. He is never seen being played with by Andy and lives in his toy box. In the first part of the first movie, Mr. Potato Head hits the clown with his arm.

Troikas

Troikas are a set of non-talking five plastic egg-shaped toys in the style of Matryoshka doll with a picture of five animals: bulldog (largest), cat (second largest), duck (medium), goldfish (second smallest) and ladybug (smallest). Troikas are based on Little Tikes Nested Farm Animals.

Troll

Troll is a pink-haired Troll doll who is clad in a blue bikini with oxeye daisies. She communicates by shaking her head for yes/no questions, but she cannot talk as seen in Toy Story 2. Troll lives with Shark and Roly Poly Clown in Andy's toy box. Troll is friendly with Bo Peep and Rocky Gibraltar. In the opening sequence of Toy Story 3 various Trolls with different colored hairs are seen as passengers on the runaway train.

Bo Peep's Sheep

Bo Peep's Sheep are porcelain sheep, joined together and sometimes mistakenly believed to be a single sheep with three heads. They enjoy causing mischief, such as pulling the video game remote from Rex in Toy Story 2. When they cause mischief, they can only be stopped by their shepherdess, Bo Peep. At the end of the first Toy Story, the sheep are seen above Woody and Bo Peep, with a branch of mistletoe. The Sheep do not appear in Toy Story 3, having presumably been sold in a yard sale with Bo.

Though they are strictly side characters, they can be seen in the Toy Story Mania game for the Wii.

Additional toys

  • Barrel of Monkeys is a preschool game by Lakeside Toys. Andy owns an early 1990s version (with red monkeys and yellow barrel), which is produced by Milton Bradley. In Toy Story, while Andy's family was gone to Pizza Planet, the toys used the barrel of monkeys to try to rescue Buzz, but fail miserably when they realize that they need several hundred more to build a ladder long enough for "Buzz" to climb. They appear during the outtakes in Toy Story 2 in which Mrs. Potato Head packs them into Mr. Potato Head's compartment, along with some monkey chow. In Toy Story 3, Woody, Buzz and Jessie are attacked by an enormous swarm of death by monkeys in the western action scene at the start of the film. There are 1,484,437 monkeys in this scene.[2]
  • Hockey Puck is a hockey puck figurine with two red cruciate ice hockey sticks as his emblem. He appears briefly in the first movie and cannot talk, but squeak. He is first seen when Mr. Potato Head says: "What are you looking at, ya hockey puck!" He appears to be a throwaway character as a setup for Don Rickles' (Mr. Potato Head) famous one-liner. He reappears again on a Toy Story short.
  • See 'n Say The Farmer Says: See 'n Say "The Farmer Says" educational toy for toddlers by Mattel, appears in the first Toy Story. Its featured animals are sheep, dog, duck, frog, horse, coyote, rooster, pig, cow, bird, cat, and turkey. Its disappearance in the second movie suggests it is either Molly's or it was given away. In Toy Story 3, another one appeared, as a poker table (or roulette wheel) inside a vending machine.
  • Magic 8-Ball is a fortune-telling toy by Tyco. In the first Toy Story, 8-Ball is seen on Andy's desk. In the first film, Woody attempts to use the ball to predict whether Andy will take either him or Buzz to Pizza Planet. The reply is "Don't count on it", against Woody's hopefulness that he will be taken. Woody fumes and lobs the ball away, but it ends up stuck down the back of Andy's desk; prompting Woody's idea to knock Buzz behind the desk, which ends up leading to the events afterwards. In Toy Story 2, the ball lies on Andy's top bookshelf next to a forgotten Wheezy and Rock-a-Stack, an old, dusty baby toy by Fisher-Price.
  • Dolly, Duckie, and Teddy: Dolly is a rag doll who wears blue tank top and pink skirt, Teddy is a pink teddy bear with a grumpy look on his face, and Duckie is a rubber duck. All three toys do not talk. They are Molly's toys and can been seen on Andy's desk in Toy Story. Teddy can also be seen in an Al's Toy Barn commercial in Toy Story 2. In Toy Story 3, the Magic 8-Ball is seen with the stuff Molly is donating to Sunnyside.
  • Toddle Tots Fire Truck is a set of '90s toddler toys including four Fireman and Tikes and their truck by Little Tikes Company. In Andy's room one can also see other types of Tikes: Cap Tike, Farmer Tike, Doc Tike, Hunter Tike, Painter Tike, Sailor Tike and Shriner Tike in the little red car. It is unlikely that Andy still plays with these, as they appear to be toys from when he was a toddler. The Tikes never speak, but are heard making high-pitched murmuring noises.
  • Three Barbie Singers are another of Molly's toys. They perform as backing vocalists when Wheezy sings "You've Got A Friend In Me" in the end of Toy Story 2.
  • Toy Train: In Toy Story 2, in the scene when Woody shouts "Andy's coming, everybody! Back to your places! Hurry!", a Toy Train can be seen in the overhead shot.

Sid's house

This section contains toys that are seen only in the first Toy Story.

Combat Carl

Combat Carl is Sid's G.I. Joe-type doll who's blown up by a huge M-80, in Sid's first scene (technically deceased).

Hannah's Dolls

  • For Janie, see "Janie and Pterodactyl" under the Mutant Toys section.
  • Sally is Hannah's replacement doll for Janie. After Sid is attacked by the toys, Sid sees Sally, then runs off in fright, thinking that Sally will come to life. Hannah then chases Sid upstairs into his room, trying to scare him more.
  • Marie Antoinette and her little sister is company of two headless dolls from Hannah's tea party. One is Barbie without her original legs (she has spare legs from a rag doll body), and the second is rag doll in violet bloom dress. A dark brown headless teddy bear is also seen with the dolls. It is due to the fact that Sid tortured Hannah's toys. Yet, she is able to play with them. "Marie Antoinette" is probably a nickname (given by Buzz), based on their headlessness rather than the actual name of one of the toys.

Mutant toys

The Mutant Toys are unfortunate, mutilated toys who live their unhappy lives in the darkest corners of Sid's room and appear as minor protagonists of the first film. They are assembled by Sid from mixed pieces of several toys that belong to him and Hannah (hence the baby doll's parts). They don't talk (probably due to the mutilations they suffered), though it is revealed they know morse code. They also look horrifying (in fact, Woody and Buzz think they're cannibals who are going to eat them), but they actually are friendly and timid. They fix Buzz's broken arm (as well as repairing Janie and the Pterodactyl) and also help Woody realize his plan to save Buzz from the clutches of Sid. They close in on Sid as Woody tells Sid how much they hate being mutilated, and they all rejoice in victory after Woody frightens Sid away with his own voice. In Toy Story Treats, the Mutant Toys appear in Andy's house (it was unknown if they were visiting, or if Andy adopted them).

  • Baby Face (A.K.A. "Spider Baby") - the leader of the mutant toys, he is a one-eyed male Baby Doll head staked on top of a spider-like body with crab-like pincers made of Erector set pieces. Baby Face lives in the shadows under Sid's bed. One way Baby Face communicates with the other toys is by banging in Morse code on the side of Sid's metal bedpost with his big claw. This method is used when he signals the other mutant toys to gather around to listen to Woody as he formulates his plan to rescue Buzz from Sid. When the mutant toys gain on Sid, Baby Face, suspended by Legs, lands on Sid's head, scaring him. Baby Face is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.
  • Legs - a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. She is shown to be very strong, being able to hold Ducky's and Baby Face's weight. When Woody formulates his plan to save Buzz from Sid, he assigns Legs to partner up with Ducky. Legs opens the vent grating so she and Ducky can go to the front porch, where Legs lower Ducky through the hold Ducky created so Ducky can swing toward the doorbell. After Ducky catches the Frog, Legs pulls both toys up to safety. Later, when the mutant toys advance on Sid, Legs lowers Baby Face onto Sid's head, scaring him.
  • Hand-in-the-box is based on the character Thing from the 1960s TV horror spoof The Addams Family; a green rubber arm that emerges from a black box, it appears to be based on the electro-mechanical coin-bank that was marketed as part of the show's merchandising. During Woody's plan to save Buzz from Sid, Hand-in-the-box, held by Rockmobile mounted on Babyface's head, extends its hand to the doorknob, ready to open the door when the signal comes. After the Frog is let out the room to distract Scud, Hand-in-the-box mounts Roller Bob (held by Rockmobile) and extends its hand to pull Jingle Joe (carrying Janie and the Pterodactyl) when Woody motions the other mutant toys to go down to Sid's backyard. The Hand also grabs Sid's leg when the mutant toys surround him.
  • Roller Bob - a jet pilot action figure, whose torso has been attached to an old-school mini-skateboard. After the Frog is let out of Sid's room to distract Scud, Roller Bob ferries Woody and the other mutant toys outside the house to Sid's yard.
  • The Frog - the speediest toy of all: a tin wind-up frog with two different wheels (left is from an erector set and right is from a monster truck) instead of legs. The Frog is missing his left hand. As part of Woody's plot to rescue Buzz from Sid, Woody orders, "Wind the Frog!", and the Walking Car twists the screw on the Frog's back to insert energy. When Ducky rings the doorbell, the Frog is let out of Sid's room, allowing Scud to chase him down the stairs and out to the front porch, where he is caught by Ducky, and Legs reels both toys up to safety.
  • Jingle Joe - another triple toy combination. He is a Combat Carl head staked on top of a Melody Push Chime toddler toy (possibly from the one Sid blew up earlier in the film) with an arm which is missing from a Mickey Mouse figure. He appears at the part when he turns Woody's flashlight off by pressing the button. He helps in the plan to save Buzz by supplying motion for Janie and the Pterodactyl when there is no room on Roller Bob.
  • Ducky - the result of triple toy combination: a duck-headed Pez dispenser with a baby doll torso and plunger base. Other than Janie, he is the only one of Sid's toys that can communicate. He and Legs go to the front porch via the vent, and Ducky, suspended from the porch ceiling by Legs, swings toward the doorbell until he finally activates it, giving Woody the signal to release the Frog. Ducky catches the Frog as Legs reels both toys up to safety.
  • Rockmobile - a figure with an insect's head (it looks like a weird hybrid of fly and praying mantis) who sits in a headless upper torso of Rocky Gibraltar, in which is a steering wheel from a toy car. Rockmobile also walks on the Rocky doll's hands.
  • Walking Car - a yellow 1957 Chevrolet Corvette car with small baby doll arms. He can run and climb very quickly. As part of Woody's plot to save Buzz from Sid, when Woody orders to wind the Frog, the Walking Car twists the screw on the Frog's back, giving the Frog enough energy to speed from Sid's room to the porch.
  • Janie and Pterodactyl - Hannah's beloved rag doll, Janie, and Sid's creepy toy, Pteradactyl, are the subjects of Sid's last "operation", called a "double bypass brain transplant" (he ripped off their heads and replaced Janie's head with a pterodactyl's). The mutant toys later tape back their heads on the correct bodies. After the Frog is released from Sid's room for Scud to chase after, Janie and the Pterodactyl ride Jingle Joe (since Roller Bob has run out of capacity) as Woody motions the toys to go down to Sid's backyard. When the toys attack Sid, Janie says "Mama!" out loud, in a manner similar to that of a basic talking doll.

Additionally, when Sid is attacked, there can be seen a bunch of other broken toys, including a Squeeze Toy Alien (the one that Sid gave to Scud), a burned rag doll (who repeatedly utters "Mama!"), a huge red pickup truck, an armless yellow soldier with a nail in his head, and a headless yellow soldier with a broken leg.

Al's Toy Barn

Shown in a Buzz Lightyear commercial in Toy Story, this section contains characters from Toy Story 2. Al's Toy Barn appears in Toy Story 3: The Video Game.

Stinky Pete the Prospector

Stinky Pete, or The Prospector as Jessie calls him, is a prospector doll and serves as the main antagonist of the second film. He is voiced by Kelsey Grammer. He is a toy modeled after a character on the fictional television show, Woody's Roundup, where the characters consists of Sheriff Woody, Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl, Stinky Pete, and Bullseye. The Prospector doll seen in the film had never been opened and was still "Mint in the Box", making him sought after by collectors.

In contrast to the character on the show, Stinky Pete is quite intelligent, manipulative, and well-spoken and, when he first appears, seems to be a grandfather figure and mentor. However, he soon snaps and becomes very evil, demanding and selfish due to all the years he spent on a dime store shelf watching every other toy be sold, until Al eventually found him.

Stinky Pete really hates space toys, especially Buzz Lightyear, whom he had blamed for causing the show to be canceled after the launch of Sputnik (or "Sput Nik" as the Prospector calls it), which caused children all over America to lose their interest in cowboy toys for space toys.

Prospector's true colors are revealed when Woody agrees to go with Buzz Lightyear. He is infuriated about Woody leaving with Buzz and locks the vent to sabotage Woody's attempt to go back to Andy and take Jessie, and Bullseye with him. He also sabotages Woody's attempt in getting his arm back by secretly turning on the TV during the night because he thinks Woody is escaping. He frames Jessie for this. The fact that he has never experienced the love and affection of a child is likely what makes him so bitter and resentful. He sees children as destroyers of toys whose ultimate fate will be "spending eternity rotting in some landfill". This makes him all the more determined to go to the Tokyo museum and become an exhibit for the rest of his life, unlike Woody and Jessie. This leads to a showdown at the airport, where the Prospector punches Buzz, who came to rescue Woody, off the ramp. Angered by this, Woody then fights the Prospector for harming his friend, but the Prospector reopens an old rip in Woody's arm, and is about to finish him off, but the toys blind and stun him with flash cameras. Buzz, having survived the fall, arrives and grabs the Prospector by the back of his shirt. Thinking that it's time the Prospector learned the "true meaning of playtime", Woody instructs Buzz and the other toys to dump the Prospector into a Barbie doll backpack that belongs to a little girl named Amy, who enjoys decorating her dolls' faces with tattoos, as punishment and revenge for his betrayal. At that time, Amy decides to give the Prospector a makeover, much to his discomfort. The Prospector then starts crying as he is taken to his new owner's home.

However, after the second film came out, on the website, there were interviews with all the characters. Prospector said that he's used to Amy decorating him, and he likes it, having reformed with a change of heart.

The Prospector doesn't appear in the third film, but he accurately predicts the events happening in the third film. He asks Woody if Andy will take him to college, and later tells the rest of the toys that children destroy toys, which occurs in the Sunnyside Daycare, and that they'll end up in a landfill, where the toys are narrowly rescued from after an escape attempt.

According to his box, the Prospector had only a total of 9 sayings, including "Ther's gold in them ther hills", "Help! I think I'm stuck!", "Aw, Shucks-a-roo", and "Oh Boy!...Beans for dinner". In one outtake, the Prospector is seen talking to two Barbie dolls in the box, promising them a role in Toy Story 3. In another outtake, while giving Woody a choice to go back or stay, the Prospector accidentally farts, which is probably why they call him "Stinky Pete."

Despite not appearing in the third film, the Prospector does appear in the Toy Box Mode of Toy Story 3: The Video Game.

Utility Belt Buzz

Utility Belt Buzz, referred to as "Buzz #2" and "New Buzz," is a Buzz Lightyear action figure, one of the latest in its line, and wears a special, limited-edition anti-gravitational belt and is a minor antagonist in the second film. When the "real" Buzz Lightyear sees this new belt, knowing that Andy would be pleased, he decides that he wants one too; he then makes a foolish attempt to steal it off Buzz #2. Immediately as Buzz tries to swipe the belt for himself, he is arrested by Buzz #2. Like Buzz in the first film, he believes that he is a real space ranger. However, he is aware that there are hundreds of other Buzz Lightyear "space rangers" like himself (and recognizes the original Buzz as a fellow space ranger), but he thinks that they're in cryogenic stasis. After trapping Buzz in a box, he is mistaken for the real Buzz by the gang. When Rex mentions that he knows how to defeat Emperor Zurg- having recently acquired a walkthrough guide for the Buzz Lightyear video game that he's been stuck on, Buzz #2 quickly decides to tag along. While the gang search Al's Toy Barn with Buzz #2, they become increasingly suspicious of his cocky attitude ("I'm Buzz Lightyear! I'm always sure!") and strange actions, until they are finally reunited with the original Buzz, who defuses his counterpart's confusion by claiming that the situation is a 'Code 546' (Precisely what this involves is unknown, but it prompted Buzz #2 to refer to Woody as "Your Majesty"). Heading to the elevator on the way down, they encounter a savage Emperor Zurg toy, which claims to be the father of Buzz #2 in a scene mimicking Star Wars, much to Buzz #2's dismay. Rex defeats Zurg by accident, sending him falling off the elevator to his apparent doom by knocking him off-balance with his tail when he turns away as Zurg prepares to shoot Buzz #2, upsetting Buzz #2. Buzz #2 is last seen playing catch with his "dad", the Zurg toy, whose attitude towards Buzz has changed after the fall. He is voiced by Tim Allen, who also voices the original Buzz.

Emperor Zurg

Evil Emperor Zurg is a space villain action figure and Buzz Lightyear's archenemy. He is voiced by Andrew Stanton and is one of the secondary antagonists of the second film. He has red evil eyes with neon gritting teeth, silver horns on his head, a purple tunic with a black cape on it and his weapon, a gun. In some cases, he does not have a gun but a hand like the one on his other arm. In the first film, Zurg is a referenced character, and does not appear at all. However, Zurg is first seen in the opening sequence of the second film when Buzz is trying to take his main power away from him (Zurg's main power is from a AA battery). In the ensuing battle, Zurg vaporizes the top half of Buzz Lightyear's body with his gun. The sequence then cuts showing that the opening sequence was actually a video game played by Rex. As the story progresses, a Zurg toy in Al's Toy Barn bursts out from its box and follows Andy's Buzz Lightyear, who is on the way to rescue Woody from Al McWhiggin. Zurg is deluded in the way the world works similar to Andy's Buzz in the first film. In the second film, another copy of Buzz Lightyear, who also acts similar to Buzz in the first film, escapes from Al's Toy Barn and battles with Zurg using toy components (pin balls and lights). In a reference to the relationship of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the principal hero and villain respectively of the original Star Wars Trilogy, Evil Emperor Zurg claims he is in fact the father of Buzz, in an almost word-for-word parody of the scene in Star Wars. As Zurg attempts to finish off Buzz #2 (at point-blank range), Rex accidentally hits Zurg with his large tail, sending him falling down the elevator shaft. The second Buzz then looks over the shaft and reaches his hand out, thinking he has lost his father, while Rex is excited that he has finally managed to defeat Zurg in real life. Near the end of the film, Zurg is seen to have survived his fall with a bent horn and is now playing catch with the Buzz copy. He supposedly bumped his head so hard so as he forgot he was Buzz Lightyear's worst enemy. The second Buzz Lightyear then says, "Oh, you're a great dad!" as he rushes to catch another ball fired by Zurg.

Zurg has a brief cameo in the third film during a sequence in the end credits, where he is donated to Sunnyside Daycare center and greeted by Stretch. It is unknown what actually happened to his ion blaster unless it was lost by his previous owner. It is also unknown whether he thinks he is the 'real' Zurg or if he already knows that he's just a toy. He is later seen doing the robot dance with Sparks. He seems somewhat kinder than an evil villain during this dance.

Zurg is the main antagonist in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and its direct-to-video movie Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, now voiced by Wayne Knight. Zurg says he is Lightyear's father during a fight in order to shock Lightyear, before regaining the advantage during the fight and then denying the truth of that previous claim. Whether or not this is actually true, Buzz definitely does not know who his father is. This version of Zurg is also severely lightened up, going from the movie's Darth Vader-esque version to a far less intimidating one; in the TV series Zurg is a flamboyant villain who is just as much a comic relief character as he is a formidable opponent, similar to Skeletor. This Zurg is known for videotaping Buzz's speeches, maintaining a troll doll collection, and various other comedic habits. He is shown to have a bit of a British accent throughout the series. It is revealed in the first episode that there is a Nana Zurg, but she is never seen at all (although he claims that she's "plenty evil"). Zurg would appear to be a cyborg of some description, also much like Darth Vader. However, it has also been discussed amongst fans that his "cybernetic" traits could also very well be because of advanced technology. There is yet to be a clear answer.

In the TV series, he is the warlord-like ruler of an evil empire and is in command of an army of Hornet robots, as well of a minion workforce consisting of Grubs and Brainpods. The seat of which is the hellish Planet Z (standing for Xrghthung). In various media surrounding the film, his planet is said to be called Xrghthung. However, because this is unpronounceable in the TV series it is changed to simply "Z." It is unknown whether Zurg rules over any other worlds, but, if he does, they have not been revealed. Planet Z evidently possesses vast resources and forces enabling Zurg to be a serious threat to the Galactic Alliance. Despite being frequently gullible and bungling, Zurg is evidently highly intelligent, able to concoct sound military tactics and Machiavellian evil schemes. Additionally, he occasionally references stereotypes of typical evil villains and intentionally violates them, showing how aware he is of his similarity to them. For example, when designing a vast prison on Planet Z, he declines building an execution arena, for it simply "gives the captives more time to get away."

Despite his camp nature, he is just as fearsome and ruthless as his movie counterpart. Zurg is frequently mentioned to be the most evil villain in the galaxy and appears to possess authority over all other villains. In fact, he would appear to be a physical manifestation of pure evil. He is particularly proud of this and frequently brags of how "evil" he is. He is a parody of Darth Vader on Star Wars and Megatron (Transformers) on Transformers.

Zurg appears as a playable character in Toy Story 3: The Video Game on the Playstation 3 in Toy Box Mode after completing several missions. He also has a convertible (The ZurgsMobile) that matches his personality.

Tour Guide Barbie

Tour Guide Barbie is a Barbie doll initially from Al's Toy Barn in Toy Story 2. She and all of the other Barbie dolls in the film are voiced by Jodi Benson. When Hamm, Slinky Dog, Rex and Mr. Potato Head come upon the Barbie aisle at Al's Toy Barn while searching for Woody, Tour Guide Barbie hops into the toy car they are driving. She gives the toys a tour in the toy barn and helps them locate Buzz Lightyear (they actually find a different, 'limited-edition' Buzz Lightyear). After the outtakes of the film, Tour Guide Barbie waves goodbye to the audience until her face hurts from smiling.

Two fighting robots, red and blue, that Al has on his desk in his office inside Al's Toy Barn. When Buzz Lightyear (Buzz 2 now) and the toys come to the office, Slinky asks them if they seen Woody (describing as "a cowboy doll with a bad arm"). The Blue first politely responds that he hasn't, leaving the Red and the Blue to argue over who was being asked. They then fight each other with the Blue defeating the Red. They are voiced by John Lasseter (Blue) and Lee Unkrich (Red). They can also be seen in The Incredibles.

Sunnyside Daycare Center

These characters appear in Toy Story 3 and live at the Sunnyside Daycare Center.

Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear

Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (voiced by Ned Beatty) (Lotso for short) is a plush, pink teddy bear with a purple nose, a sweet strawberry scent and a southern accent, who uses a wooden toy mallet as a cane. He is the leader of the toys of the Sunnyside Daycare Center and the the main antagonist of the third film. He initially acts like a kind-hearted and wise caretaker at first, but is later revealed to be more of a ruthless warden, although his backstory makes him more of a tragic villain.

He is first seen welcoming Andy's toys to Sunnyside and assigning them to the Caterpillar Room, where they are roughly played with by the youngest kids in the daycare center. At Bonnie's house, Woody learns from Chuckles the Clown that he, Lotso and Big Baby were once owned and loved by a girl named Daisy. Lotso was Daisy's favorite toy. During their time with Daisy, Lotso was considered a kind-hearted friend to both Chuckles and Big Baby. This state of affairs continued until one day when Daisy and her family had a picnic in the countryside. When she fell asleep, her parents put her into the car and drove away, forgetting the toys. Lotso managed to lead his two friends on the long trek back to Daisy's house, only to discover that Daisy had gotten another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear from her parents. This left Lotso heartbroken, convinced he had been forgotten and replaced. It makes Lotso turn from sweet to nasty. Out of bitterness, the angry toy lies to Big Baby that he too has been replaced, and they leave Daisy's home. Chuckles, knowing that Lotso just said it because he felt bitter about it, tries to reason with Lotso, but is unsuccessful and has no choice but to leave with the two other toys. Lotso discovers the Sunnyside Daycare Center and turns it into an Internment Camp for toys, believing he is protecting the imprisoned toys from being abandoned by their owners. Big Baby takes on the role of Lotso's enforcer. Chuckles is found by Bonnie and taken home.

During half of the film, Lotso's minions catch Buzz outside of the Caterpillar Room and restrain him in the library where Lotso arrives, having learned that Buzz is actually requesting a transfer of himself and the rest of Andy's toys to the Butterfly Room. Thinking of Buzz to be useful to him, Lotso grants it only to him, stating that the kids going to Caterpillar Room really need some toys to play with. Buzz understands of what Lotso meant, but respectfully refuses, saying that he and the rest of Andy's toys stay together as a 'family'. Still thinking that Buzz can be useful, Lotso then orders his henchmen to restrain him and reset him to demo mode using a Buzz Lightyear Instruction Manual, causing Buzz to don his deluded space ranger personality again. With that in mind, Lotso then manipulates Buzz into imprisoning the rest of the Andy's toys with the help of his henchmen.

When Woody returns, he works on a scheme for Andy's toys, including Buzz, who has rejoined them after being mistakenly set to Spanish mode, to escape from Sunnyside at the climax of the movie, but Lotso foils the scheme. Woody then reveals his knowledge of Lotso's deception about Daisy to Big Baby, leading the teddy bear to reveal his true feelings about all toys including his henchmen that they are nothing but worthless trash waiting to be thrown away and ruined. Big Baby, having had enough of Lotso's lies and deception, throws him into the dumpster. For revenge, Lotso yanks Woody into the dumpster as well. As a garbage truck collects the bin for delivery to the city dump, Woody's friends are forced to tag along. At the dump, the toys end up on a conveyor belt leading to a shredder. Finding Lotso stuck under a large golf bag, Woody and Buzz rescue him and escape the shredder, only to find they've ended up on another belt leading to an incinerator. As they are about to reach the incinerator, Lotso sees an emergency stop button, and with Woody and Buzz's help, manages to get to it. Rather than pushing the button, he selfishly leaves them to their doom. Thanks to the Squeeze Toy Aliens, Andy's toys escape the incinerator. Hamm and Slinky want to get back at Lotso for what he'd done to them, but Woody convinces them he's not worth it. Instead, as his comeuppance, Lotso is found by a garbageman (who once had a Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear himself) and tied to the front of a garbage truck with a few other discarded toys.

It is rumored that an early version of Lotso can be seen on a dresser during a meeting in the first Toy Story film as a pink teddy bear is sitting on the shelf. It may just have been a background character though as it has not been confirmed by Pixar that it is an early version of Lotso. Later on, Unkrich would state that Lotso was originally one of the main antagonists of the early versions of Toy Story, which took place in a large Toy Store, and he would have been one of the 4 heads of the "worlds" (actually sections of the store). As the story evolved into Andy's room, Lotso was shelved as they found his character unappealing for the final version.

Ken

Ken (voiced by Michael Keaton) is a smooth-talking doll who falls in love with Barbie and starts off as the secondary antagonist in the third film, but ends up switching sides. He first appears wearing light blue pleated and cuffed shorts, and a tucked-in leopard-print shirt with short sleeves. His accessories include matching ascot, sensible loafers and a fashion-forward gold belt. He hates being called a "girl's toy", and does not understand why the other members of mean Lotso's gang call him that. He lives in Ken's Dreamhouse, a big yellow doll house with three stories, a large wardrobe room, and an elevator. By the end of the film, his love for Barbie makes him rebel against Lotso. In the end credits of the film, he and Barbie are seen greeting new toys at Sunnyside as Barbie becomes his girlfriend again and they both take charge of the Sunnyside toys as the new leaders. He resembles a real doll from 1988 called Animal Lovin' Ken. Due to being called a "girl's toy", it is often joked about his femininity: such as his large selection and obsession with clothes, him wearing Barbie's scarf, his rather feminine boxer-shorts, Bookworm not being suspicious seeing who he believed being Ken (Barbie in a Spacesuit Outfit) in high heels, as well as at the end Buzz believing Barbie wrote them the fancy note, only to discover Ken's signature at the end.

Big Baby

Big Baby is a very big baby doll with a lazy eye. He carries around a bottle and is adorned with childlike scribbling that resembles ferocious tattoos. He was once one of Daisy's toys, before he, Lotso, and Chuckles were lost at a road stop. Upon returning home, Lotso found out he was replaced, and bitterly lied to Big Baby (who still wanted to be reunited with her) that Daisy didn't care about him anymore. After traveling for some time, they arrived at Sunnyside where Lotso took full control and Big Baby acted as his right hand man and enforcer at Sunnyside. Big Baby was playing the role of "tough guard" overall, under Lotso's command. This image was also strengthen by how his head can turn 180 degrees in split seconds to spot irregularities, as shown on the scene where Woody, the Squeeze Toy Aliens and Bullseye attempts to escape through Sunnyside's yard. In the climax, when Woody reveals that their owner Daisy still cared about them, Big Baby in turn shows that he still cares for his lost owner, whom he affectionately refers to as "Mama". Despite this, Lotso insults Big Baby for his attachment to Daisy and his own henchmen, and roughly pushes Big Baby aside with a strong poke on the stomach with his walking stick, which causes Big Baby to cry out in pain. Having had enough, Big Baby stands up to Lotso and throws him in the garbage bin and blows him a raspberry, allowing Woody and his friends to escape Sunnyside. During the credits, Big Baby is shown to be having a happier time at Sunnyside under Barbie and Ken's care. The baby who provided the voice for Big Baby is named "Woody", according to Lee Unkrich's Twitter account.[3]

Twitch

Twitch (voiced by John Cygan) is a green "insectaloid warrior" action figure with a bug's head. He is based on Buzz-Off from the Masters of the Universe toyline. He has orange eyes with ferocious chomping mandibles, wings, and two muscular arms. He is one of the strongest toys serving Lotso, and helps apprehend Andy's toys, and keeps a search light working in the playground. As with his cohorts, he is convinced of Lotso's deception by Woody and Ken, and is shocked when Lotso mistreats Big Baby, including Lotso pushing him aside abusively and breaking the heart-shaped necklace Daisy had made for him (Big Baby). This, along with what Woody said, makes Twitch realize that Lotso is ruthless, heartless, merciless, and cruel, and so Twitch reforms. In the credits, he is shown happily taking a turn enduring playtime with the young children in Caterpillar Room.

Stretch

Stretch (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg) is a toy rubber octopus with sticky suckers on her eight long arms and a glittery, purple body. She is Lotso's only henchwoman, and at first welcomes the toys, but later helps disable them. She later with her cohorts catch Woody and his friends, and was to push them into the dumpster should they not admit defeat. Stretch was seen to be the first toy to doubt Lotso's leadership and motives, as she was seen to visibly cringe at Lotso's true demeanor being revealed. After Lotso is thrown into the dumpster, she quickly leaves the area, shocked at what had happened. In the credits, she welcomes new toys happily without Lotso. She is based on a purple Wacky WallWalker toy from the 1980s.

Chunk

Chunk (voiced by Jack Angel) is an orange muscular rock monster toy. He has two red eyes when fierce, blue eyes when he's friendly, huge fists, and a face that you can change by rolling it up or down to a different facial expression or pressing a button at the top of his head. He welcomes the toys to Sunnyside, but later helps Lotso and Buzz imprison them. He then is convinced of Lotso's deception when he punches Big Baby, and is seen helping Woody and his friends climb to safety with Big Baby. In the credits, he is seen sharing the abuse the younger children dish out with Twitch in a tag-team match. He is based on the short lived Rock Lords toyline. Chunk is not very intelligent During a gambling scene, he calls Buzz: "not the sharpest knife in the... place where they put the knives". He calls Ken a "girl's toy" once in a gambling scene.

Sparks

Sparks (voiced by Jan Rabson) is a toy blue, silver and red robot with flashing red eyes, red claws, and a blaster cavity in his chest that spits out real sparks when he’s rolling around on his wheels (but is completely safe for children). He can also elevate his body to make himself taller. He is seen in the film greeting Buzz upon Andy's toys' arrival, and later gambling in Lotso's gang's hideout. He only has two lines in the film. They are "Nah, disposable" and "Neither are you, Chunk." He is later seen helping lock up Andy's toys when they try to escape, and is seen for the remainder of the film patrolling Sunnyside. When Andy's toys are about to escape, Sparks and the other toys are convinced of their leader's treachery, and turn on him. He is seen living happily at Sunnyside after Lotso's defeat in the credits. He is based on the Sparking action Transformers toys from the 1980s.

Chatter Telephone

Chatter Telephone (voiced by Teddy Newton) is a toy based on itself. He cannot speak unless his receiver is lifted from its cradle. He is the oldest toy in the daycare, and becomes an ally to Woody as he tells him how to escape Sunnyside. For this, he is later brutally beaten and broken for helping Woody's group escape, and eventually rats Woody out when convinced that Woody and the others have already escaped, but they are caught just before they can do so. He sadly apologizes to Woody, who only shows sympathy for the broken toy. In the credits, he has been repaired and he now lives a happier life there.

Bookworm

The Bookworm (voiced by Richard Kind) is a green worm flashlight with glasses. He is a genius who loves reading books. He keeps a library of instruction manuals in a closet at Sunnyside, and gives Lotso a Buzz Lightyear instruction manual. He later on gives the same manual to Barbie (who he thinks is Ken as she is disguised in his spacesuit outfit). Almost disturbingly, when he notices Barbie's high heels in the spacesuit outfit, he shrugs it off, determining that Ken may not be so "manly". In the credits, he is happy without Lotso, and is seen using his flashlight to light a disco ball during a party at Sunnyside. He is based on the Glo Worm toys from the 1980s. He only has two lines in the film.

Jack-in-the-box

Jack-in-the-box (voiced by the director Lee Unkrich) is a yellow and orange Jack-in-the-box toy with a red nose, springy arms and a green and blue hat with a bell on the end. He shouts "New toys!" when Woody and his friends arrive at Sunnyside. In the end credits, he also says the same line at new arrivals.

Cymbal-banging monkey

The Cymbal banging monkey is a monkey toy based on the Musical Jolly Chimp toy from the 1960s.[citation needed] It monitors the Sunnyside Daycare security cameras at night, and can alert Lotso and the gang of any escaping toys by screeching into a microphone to broadcast over the intercom. Chatter Telephone tells Woody that he must get rid of the monkey before he and his friends can escape. Woody and Slinky manage to succeed in taking it down by wrapping it up in Scotch Tape. In the credits, it is seen in a much happier situation, banging its cymbals as if they were drums and wearing star-shaped sunglasses.

Bonnie's Toys

These characters appear in Toy Story 3 and are the toys that are owned by a girl named Bonnie who goes to Sunnyside.

Chuckles

Chuckles (voiced by Bud Luckey) is a doleful clown who was once owned by Daisy (who also once owned Lotso and Big Baby) and later by Bonnie. He is first seen in one of the windows in Bonnie's house with his face frowning. He is the one who tells Woody of Lotso's past, stating that Lotso was a good friend to him during their time with Daisy until the sad tragedy that Lotso became replaced, which turned him into a cruel, mean toy. Chuckles even tried to reason up with Lotso after learning about this, but Lotso refuses to listen, still trying to convince Chuckles that he and Big Baby were also replaced. Eventually, the three toys found Sunnyside, where Lotso loses what's left of his friendship with Chuckles and turns the daycare into a toy prison, much to Chuckles' dismay. It seems likely that Chuckles refused to be a lackey of Lotso's during his self-proclaimed rule. Eventually, Chuckles gets broken and Bonnie found him, deciding to take him home. Though this is never said in the film, it may be possible that Lotso was the one that broke Chuckles, and not one of the kids. He felt sorry for what happened to Lotso, and that he knows it is not right of what Lotso is doing in Sunnyside. He gives Woody the tag of My heart belongs to Daisy, which is later destroyed by Lotso. In one of the end credits sequences, Woody shows him a drawn picture, and says that "Bonnie really got your smile", causing Chuckles to smile in the process, possibly for the first time in years.

Mr. Pricklepants

Mr. Pricklepants (voiced by Timothy Dalton) is a stuffed hedgehog. He wears a lederhosen, Tyrolean hat and views himself as a thespian. Mr. Pricklepants was made in Germany (although he speaks with an exaggerated English accent and actor's diction) and is from the Waldfreunde (Forest Friends) collection of premium imported plush toys, presumably a reference to Steiff plush toys. Throughout Toy Story 3, he expresses great interest in theater arts and in the same respect, takes the art of role playing as a child's toy very seriously. Before the film ends, he is seen walking and talking with Hamm. During the credits, he plays Romeo, with one of the aliens playing Juliet.

Trixie

Trixie (voiced by Kristen Schaal) is a blue toy Triceratops, who appears to be of the same toyline as Rex (possibly Dino-Riders). During one of Bonnie's toys' improv sessions, she mentions coming from the doctor with "life-changing news". She chats online with "a dinosaur toy down the street" who goes by the name "Velocistar237". She becomes best friends with Rex during the credits, playing cooperatively on a computer.

Buttercup

Buttercup (voiced by Jeff Garlin) is a white toy unicorn with blue eyes, a yellow mane and tail, and small pink heart-shaped nostrils. He calls Mr. Pricklepants Baron Von Shush. He is the most level-headed of Bonnie's toys, and helps Woody get back to Sunnyside. In the credits, after Woody and his friends are donated to Bonnie, he is often seen with Hamm, as his new best friend.

Dolly

Dolly (voiced by Bonnie Hunt) is a soft dress-up sarcastic rag doll with purple hair, googly-eyes, an orange dress with buttons sewn on, and gently blushing cheeks. She helps Woody get back to Sunnyside Daycare Center with the rest of Bonnie's toys.

Peas-in-a-Pod

Peas-in-a-Pod (voiced by Charlie Bright, Amber Kroner, and Brianna Maiwand) are three soft, plush green balls in a green pencil case that looks like a pea pod, which can zipper open and close, hence the name. They are based on the Vegimals. They have the personalities of small children, and their names are Peaty, Peatrice, and Peanelope. The two females have only one line each, while the only male has two. They are seen playing with Mr. Potato Head in the end credits.

Totoro

The title character from My Neighbor Totoro, who is also the mascot of Studio Ghibli, appears as one of Bonnie's toys. He is a big plush toy and does not speak at all during the film, nor is he spoken to by anyone by his name. He does however make his famous grin during the credit scenes, and at the end of the film, he is seen juggling the alien triplets, while Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head watch. According to the tie-in book, The Art of Toy Story 3,[citation needed] Totoro's appearance in the film was meant to be a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, who is a close friend of Pixar executive John Lasseter.[4] In addition to Lasseter's relationship to Miyazaki, another factor that contributed to Totoro's appearance was Disney's role in dubbing Studio Ghibli films for their English-language releases.[5]

Humans

Andy Davis

Andy Davis is a 6 year old boy who lives with his mother and sister; his father is never seen in the films and supplementary materials indicate that he has died, or he lives someplace else. He is the original owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys, which he treats with a large amount of love. In Toy Story, Andy receives a Buzz Lightyear action figure for his birthday, causing tension between Buzz and Woody, who has always prided himself on being Andy's favorite. He spent much more time with Buzz and grew to love him as much as Woody, but he still held a special place in his heart for Woody himself, as evidenced when both toys went missing for a time and he fears they would be left behind after he moved to a new house with his family. Fortunately, he is able to find them as they are driving to their new house (by that time, Woody and Buzz have put all tensions aside and become friends). Later that year during Christmas, he receives a puppy, though his bond with this new pet is never developed beyond his excitement about having one.

In Toy Story 2, Andy is now 7 years old and he is only seen at the beginning and for a short while at the ending. However, during the short time he is in the movie, it is easy to tell that he still loves his toys very much and they still feel the same about him. At the end of the film, Andy is pleased to have five new toys, Jessie, Bullseye, and the triplet-Squeeze Toy Aliens, added into his collection. Whenever Andy receives new toys, he always labels them with his name on the soles of their feet. For Bullseye's case, Andy prints each individual letter of his name on each of Bullseye's hoofs.

In Toy Story 3, Andy is now 17 years old and preparing to go off to college, intending to put most of his toys in the attic (except for Woody, whom he initially plans to take with him). While he apparently hasn't played with his toys for some years, he still cares about mother's suggestion to donate the toys, other than Woody, to the local daycare, but then follows a lead, planted by Woody, to find Bonnie, the daughter of a family friend, whom he realizes will look after his childhood playthings. When Bonnie finds Woody in the box as well, Andy shows great reluctance to pass on his favorite toy, but ultimately relents, allowing the toys to stay together in an environment where they'll be loved and played with. He spends a while playing with Bonnie and the toys one last time before departing for college.

According to Toy Story producer Ralph Guggenheim in a December 1995 Animation Magazine article: John Lasseter and the story team for Toy Story reviewed the names of Pixar employees' children looking for the right name for Woody's owner. Andy Davis was ultimately named after and based on Andy Luckey, the son of legendary animator Bud Luckey, Pixar's fifth employee and the creator of Woody. Andy Luckey has declined to publicly comment on the connection.

Present-day Andy is voiced by John Morris in all three films, and by Charlie Bright in the third film as a child.

Hannah Phillips

Hannah Phillips is the younger sister of Sid Phillips and appears a few times in Toy Story. That is The only one of the three she appeared in. She was voiced by Sarah Freeman. In A Toy Story, Hannah is evil. She can scare her brother, Sid and popping his body parts.

Sid Phillips

Sid Phillips is a disturbed, hyperactive, sadistic 10-year-old boy and the main antagonist of the first film. He was Andy's nasty neighbor (until Andy moved), and the worst nightmare any toy could have and loves to destroy and torture toys. His idea of fun is scaring his sister and destroying her toys in various methods (exploding, burning or in his mad doctor plays). He also enjoys skateboarding. He is voiced by Erik von Detten. According to an interview, Sid is named after a former employee at Pixar who would take toys apart and sometimes rebuild them in different and disturbingly odd ways. At the end of the original movie, when Woody and Sid's mutant toys decide to rescue Buzz by scaring Sid, he becomes very frightened of toys, and Woody pulls the last straw on him by coming alive and telling him to take good care of his toys or else ("From now on, you must take good care of your toys! Because if you don't we'll find out, Sid. We toys can see everything. So play nice!"), causing Sid to panic and run back into his house and into his room. He seems to be the only human depicted in the film to have witnessed toys come alive. A grown Sid makes a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3 as a garbageman; he is recognizable by his skull T-shirt.

Al McWhiggin

Al (called Al McWhiggin on his name desk, The Chicken Man by Andy's toys, and Poultry Man by Utility Belt Buzz), is one of the secondary antagonists of the second film, who steals Woody in hope of selling him to a Japanese toy museum. Al is unscrupulously obsessive, overweight, very impatient and lazy (he complains of having to "drive all the way to work on a Saturday," even though his apartment is across the street from the store.); he is voiced by and partially inspired by Wayne Knight (during the production of Toy Story 2, Knight had a goatee, like Al in the movie). Cartoonist and animator Scott Shaw has also been acknowledged as another model and inspiration for Al.

Al is the owner of a large toy shop called "Al's Toy Barn". The store is first seen during the first Toy Story on an advertisement of Buzz Lightyear toys, but Al did not appear. He is first seen in Toy Story 2 during an advertisement on TV in which he dresses in a chicken suit, of which Hamm, after turning off the TV, remarks: "I despise that chicken." Later, he is seen trying to buy Woody at a yard sale held by Andy's mom. After Andy's mom refuses to hand over the doll and locks Woody in a box, Al stealthily unscrews the lock and steals Woody, intending to sell him, along with the rest of his collection of Woody's Roundup toys and memorabilia, to a toy museum in Japan for a large sum of money.

However, just as Al's plane is about to fly off to Japan with the Roundup Gang packed in luggage, Andy's toys, led by Buzz, are able to save Woody in an epic rescue, along with Jessie and Bullseye; meanwhile the Prospector is placed in a mischievous girl's backpack for his betrayal. Al's trip to the Japanese toy museum presumably went ahead, but without the collection he promised, obviously went very badly for him. He is last seen at the end of the movie, when Hamm and Rex are watching TV and find a new commercial for the Toy Barn being broadcast, in which Al (in his chicken suit again) is unable to control himself from sobbing hysterically over his losses. Hamm comments on this by saying: "Well, I guess crime doesn't pay." Seeing as he's selling all toys for a "buck-buck-buck", it's possible that Al has been left bankrupt by his shady deal.

Al's last name was revealed on the nameplate on his office desk; also, when he is done taking pictures, he answers his cellphone. and Mr. Konishi can be heard saying his full name. According to Disney Adventures magazine, Al wasn't allowed to play with his toys as a child, leading to his toy-collecting niche.

His car's license plate reads LZTYBRN, which is "Al's Toy Barn" minus the vowel letters. It is also the actual license plate of Ash Brannon, co-director of Toy Story 2, according to the Toy Story 2: Special Edition commentary.

He doesn't apper in Toy Story 3

Geri

Geri, an elderly specialist in toy restoration and repair, comes to Al's apartment in Toy Story 2 to fix Woody up in preparation for his trip to Japan. He insists that Al let him take his time with the work and views it as more than a simple job, asserting, "You can't rush art." Geri was voiced by the late Jonathan Harris. He also appears in the Pixar short film Geri's Game, where he plays a chess game by himself.

Mr. Konishi

Mr. Konishi (an unseen character) is the name of the museum owner in Japan whom Al McWhiggin often have a conversation over his cellphone. He may be named after a Japanese employee at Pixar. According to Stinky Pete, Konishi Toy Museum (an unseen location), located in Tokyo, is the name of the museum where the Roundup gang is to be sold. (voice by Phil Proctor)

Bonnie Anderson

Bonnie Anderson appears in Toy Story 3 as one of the kids who goes to Sunnyside Daycare. She takes Woody home and plays with him. Woody is impressed by what he sees at her house and ultimately gets himself (and all of Andy's other toys) donated to her. Although she has an active imagination when playing with her toys, she is shy and withdrawn when she is around adults. Voiced by Emily Hahn.

Daisy

Daisy is a girl who appears in flashbacks in Toy Story 3. She owned Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles in the beginning, but she accidentally leaves them behind at a rest stop along the road. In order to pacify her, rather than finding Lotso and the rest of her toys, Daisy's parents instead bought her another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear, which made Lotso believe he had been replaced, and changed him into a much more sinister ruthless toy.

Other humans

  • The Janitor is a janitor at Sunnyside Daycare in the third film. Woody grabs onto his cart and goes into the bathroom. Woody starts to escape the bathroom when the Janitor looks into the mirror and says,"What the heck?" Woody freezes, thinking that the Janitor saw him in the mirror. It turns out that the Janitor has only seen a smudge. He wipes it off and says, "That's better" By the time he wipes it, Woody is already out the window. He also disposes of a broken toy train. Voiced by Bob Peterson.
  • Joe is an employee at Al's Toy Barn appearing in the second film. Before the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Joe can be seen entering the toy store, and an unseen employee can be heard calling: "Hey, Joe, you're late."
  • Unseen Employee worked at Al's toy barn and criticized Joe for being late.
  • As mentioned by Jessie, Emily is the name of her former owner. She appears only during the "When She Loved Me" musical sequence by Sarah McLachlan in the second film, first seen as a young girl, taking the Jessie doll out to play by swinging on a tire tied to a tree on top of a hill. Although not clearly visible, it is easy to say that Emily grew up and had no need of her toys, including Jessie, any more. As a young child she was a fan of the Wild West and horses, along with the Woody's Roundup TV show, apparent through her love of Jessie. As she became a teenager her horse obsession turned to the psychedelic pop music of the time, makeup and gossip with her friends. After some time, she finds Jessie under the bed, and she is last seen as a young teenager when she steps out of the car and places Jessie in a charity box before driving away with her mother. It is implied through the type of car, Emily's clothes (flares) and the psychedelic musical tastes as she becomes a teenager that the "When She Loved Me" sequence takes place between the early to late sixties. It can be guessed that by the time of the second film Emily is in her mid forties. She is mentioned by Jessie for the second time in the third film, when she fears that she will have to spend the rest of her life in Andy's attic.
  • When Woody watches Woody's Roundup on TV, an anonymous boy appears in the screen and plays with the TV Woody, who is playing the guitar and singing "You've Got a Friend in Me." It is this scene that helps Woody realize what it means to be loved by a kid after deciding not to go back with his friends to Andy's house. The anonymous boy looks similar to Andy and this sequence could be interpreted as a dream sequence, with Woody suddenly imagining Andy appearing on TV and hugging the Woody from the Roundup show.
  • Amy is the name of the girl who retrieves her Barbie backpack (with The Prospector) at the airport in the second film. She describes the Prospector as "a big ugly man-doll" and plans to do a makeover on him. (unknown voice) According to her Barbie doll, "You'll love Amy! She's an artist!" and turns her face to reveal that she had been drawn on. According to the interview of the Prospector in the Toy Story 2 website, the Prospector finally admits to getting used to being doodled by Amy and that he likes it.
  • Additional human characters are noticeable for a short time at the Pizza Planet restaurant in the first film, and at the yard sale and the Tri-County International Airport in second film.
    • At the yard sale, after Woody is left behind, an anonymous little girl with a pink shirt, blonde hair, and blue shoes discovers him. She takes him to her mother, asking her if she can have him, but the mother, considering the toy to be broken, throws Woody aside.
    • At the airport in the second film, another anonymous girl spots Slinky in the pet carrier, thinking it is a real puppy, gets near him and wants to adopt it, but Slinky barks and runs to her mom by saying "Mommy! Help!".
    • One airport worker is seen loading Al's case (after locking Jessie inside) into the luggage transporter, which he drives to the plane. He is voiced by British children's television presenter Andi Peters.
    • After the luggage transporter reaches the plane, another airport worker is seen loading the luggage into the plane's cargo hold.
  • In the second film, on the day after the toys return home from the airport, an anonymous man and woman are seen across the street from Andy's house (visible through the window), wondering how the luggage transporter (which can be implied that the toys stole it from the airport to get back to Andy's house) has suddenly appeared in the neighborhood.
  • Also in the second film, after the toys cross the street, a man and a women can be seen arguing over why cones were blocking the street and the damage caused by the Tire Spikes and the truck crashing into the woman's car. Several other humans can be seen in the big pile up behind the cylinder truck inspecting the damage.
  • An unnamed garbageman is seen at the dump during the third film, where he found Lotso, claiming to another garbageman that he had a Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear as a child. Loving the teddy bear and his strawberry scent, the garbageman ties Lotso to the grille of his garbage truck with three other toys, and it last seen driving his truck while the one of the three garbage toys advise Lotso to keep his mouth closed to prevent bugs and trash from going into in.

Other characters

Buster

Buster is Andy's pet dachshund, whom he receives at the end of Toy Story and is seen in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3. He is always full of energy, and overall a great dog. Buster is considered to be nice to the toys in Andy's room, and is fiercely loyal to Woody, obeying all commands given to him by Woody. However, he does not respond to commands from Andy whatsoever. Slinky is also able to communicate with him due to the fact they are both dogs. At the beginning of Toy Story 2, Buster has set a new record of 13.5 seconds on finding Woody. When Wheezy is taken by Andy's mom to be sold at a yard sale, Woody whistles for Buster and commandeers him to carry him down to the yard sale so Woody can rescue Wheezy, in which he does so for good. After the toys return home, Jessie helps Buster out of the room when he needs to go out for a private time, and he is last seen with Andy and his family as they go out on another drive. He comes back in Toy Story 3, but looks very aged, with mixed brown and gray fur, a gray-white snout, overweight, and too weak (or perhaps disinterested) to help Woody and the toys escape, although he remains nice to them.

Scud

Scud is Sid's vicious bull terrier and horrible "toy-chewing machine", and the secondary antagonist in the first film. He has a white body with brown spots, and a red spiked collar. He has a black patch around his left eye. He immediately goes after any toys that comes into his sight, but he seems to be afraid of Sid's father, who is seen asleep on La-Z-Boy. At the end of the film, he chases after Woody and Buzz during the move until he gets trapped in a car pile-up and isn't seen from then on, although most likely, he would later be returned to his owners. Unlike Andy's dog Buster, Scud does not make an appearance in the second and third films.

Crazy Critters

Crazy Critters are a bunch of animal characters from the Woody's Roundup show including an armadillo, bat, bear, beaver, bird, deer, vulture, bear cub, porcupine, flying squirrel, rabbit, skunk, snake, tortoise and wild cat cub. They come quickly when Jessie calls them. Woody understands them in the cartoon Woody's Roundup, sometimes so well the animals are shown to be shocked. The Crazy Critters make cameos appearances as prizes determined by the score of players in Toy Story Midway Mania!.

Feathers

Feathers is a name given to a pigeon by Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 3. When Mr. Potato Head, who is using a tortilla for his body, sneaks on by hugging a window at Sunnyside, he encounters the pigeon who flies down to the windowsill, next to him. As Mr. Potato Head asks the pigeon "What are you looking at, Feathers?" the pigeon pecks at the tortilla, causing it to fall apart as Mr. Potato Head falls from the windowsill.

Lawn Gnome

Lawn Gnome, mentioned by Hamm in Toy Story 2, is an unseen character, but is close enough to Andy's toys to help them look for Woody's hat. Hamm contacts Lawn Gnome using morse code by blinking the window blinds. His job was to search the yard.

Whiskers

Whiskers is an unseen character who is mentioned when the toys are trying to rescue Buzz from the window at Andy's house. It is assumed that he or she is a cat because before Rex says "Whiskers, will you get outta here? You're interfering with the search and rescue!" a cat screech is heard. Whiskers appeared as a black and white cat in a Disney storybook anthology. (unknown voice actor)

Hornets

Hornets are the weapon equipped robots that are seen in Toy Story 2 after video-game Buzz lands on Zurg's Planet. Buzz destroys them by shooting a giant crystal with his laser, and sending hundreds of lasers through the lines of robots. There is also one robot that comes out of the wall as a camera, and spots Buzz before getting its eye blown off. In the TV show Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Zurg's robots are called Hornets and look different (though in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 the video game they were possibly upgrades and now called Zurgbots).

Frog

Frog (voiced by Jack Willis) is a toy plastic frog who appears in Toy Story 3. He is one of the three toys strapped to the grille of the garbage truck by its driver. After Lotso joins in with them, the Frog then warns Lotso to keep his mouth shut so that bugs don't fly in, something which Lotso instantly obliges to.

In the outtakes (Toy Story 2)

  • Flik and Heimlich, two of the characters from Disney's A Bug's Life in 1998, are seen close-up on a branch as they express their excitement about the making of A Bug's Life 2; however, Heimlich states that the film they're in is a sequel, but not for A Bug's Life. As a confused Flik asks Heimlich what sequel they're actually in, Buzz Lightyear chops down the branches, including the one they're standing on, and screams can be heard as they fall.
    • Heimlich is also seen in the actual film during the scene when Buzz is behind the bushes. He is crawling on the branch only to get knocked off by Buzz as he cuts through.
  • Twin Barbies, two glittering purple barbie dolls, are seen talking to The Prospector in his box who is promising them a role in Toy Story 3 (although they never actually appeared in the third film).
