This is a list of characters from the animated films Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and the upcoming Toy Story 3.
Toys
Andy's house
This section contains the most prominent toy characters in the Toy Story films.
Woody Pride[1][2] is an old-fashioned pull-string stuffed cowboy doll with plastic head and hands and serves as one of the main protagonists in the films. He is Andy's favorite toy since kindergarten, with a special spot on the bed. He is the leader of the toys. In Toy Story 2 it is revealed that he is based on the main character from a 1950s popular TV Show, "Woody's Roundup". He is voiced by Tom Hanks in the two films and by his brother Jim Hanks on other occasions. Woody is inspired by executive producer John Lasseter's favorite childhood toy, a pull-string Casper the Friendly Ghost talking doll. Pixar Animator/Director Bud Luckey designed the character and came up with the idea of making him a cowboy toy. In Toy Story, Woody does whatever he can to make sure that Andy's toys are safe and happy, including holding regular meetings to keep the toys up to date on Andy and Molly. Meetings include "Plastic Corrosion Awareness" and "What to do when you or a part of you is swallowed."
When one of Andy's toys is in doubt, they usually turn to Woody for help. Woody is very touchy about his position as room leader. When Buzz Lightyear arrives, Woody takes the loss of attention rather hard and gets jealous. Eventually he tries to trick Buzz into saving a toy (which is really a magic 8 ball), that is trapped behind the desk. His intention was not to hurt Buzz, or even get rid of him, just to knock him down to the dark part of the desk (as mentioned in the Director's Commentary of the Toy Story 10th anniversary DVD) so Andy would take him to Pizza Planet instead. Eventually, Buzz and Woody become the best of friends and together they lead Andy's room.
Woody makes a cameo in an outtake for A Bug's Life as a crewman when he enters the screen holding the clapper-board upside-down. Woody appears in a few outtakes of Toy Story 2: one is when Woody gets his bottom stuck in a duct-tape, another is when Woody plays pranks on Buzz, another being him finding Stinky Pete having a little too much fun with the Barbie dolls, and the third is when Jessie attempts to pull his string, but rips it off his back. Woody appears in the credits of the 2006 film Cars as a car. During the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl on February 3, 2008, Woody, with Buzz, watch an ad for WALL-E while watching the game. Woody also appears in the Toy Story Midway Mania! attraction at the Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's California Adventure theme parks in Florida and California, USA. Woody is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.
Buzz Lightyear is a high-tech "Space Ranger from Star Command" action figure whose arrival instills jealousy in Woody. Buzz serves as the other main protagonist and is voiced by Tim Allen in the films and Patrick Warburton in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television show. Buzz is inspired by John Lasseter's doll and his early names were Lunar Larry and Tempus from Morph. In Toy Story 2, a "Bonus Belt" Buzz took the original Buzz's Place because the other Buzz trapped him inside a box and set it on a shelf (since the impostor does not know he is a toy, similar to the Buzz from the 1st Toy Story).
In Toy Story, Woody constantly tells Buzz that he is a toy. Buzz doesn't believe Woody and thinks that he is the real Buzz Lightyear. When Buzz sees a Buzz Lightyear commercial in Sid's home, he finally realizes that he is a toy. Still in somewhat denial, he attempts to fly out of a window in Sid's house (breaking his arm in the process, which is later fixed by Sid's toys). It wasn't until Woody talked to him that Buzz finally came to accept that he was a toy and that Andy would love him regardless. By the end of the first Toy Story and throughout the second movie, Buzz has a more "down to earth" personality. Near the end of Toy Story 2, Buzz echoes Woody about who he truly is: "You're not a collector's item. You're a child's plaything. YOU ARE A TOY!" He then goes on to say, "Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid. And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him." But when Woody still refuses, Buzz says a rather upset goodbye by saying "To do what Woody? Watch Kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life." It is this that helps Woody realize that it's better to live a short life and enjoy it, instead of living forever and not having much to live for.
At the airport, Woody is rescued by the toys when they flash cameras at "Stinky Pete" who tries to finish him. Buzz and the toys take the Prospector to a little girl's backpack where he meets a dangerous fate of getting decorated on like the Barbie, that he now has a relationship with; however, the Prospector reveals later in the website that he actually liked getting decorated. Buzz then accompanies Woody to rescue Jessie while the other toys stay behind; Woody loses Buzz, but Buzz eventually catches up to the plane when it is about to take off. Woody and Jessie lasso Woody's string to the landing gear so that they could fall off on Bullseye. They succeed right on time just seconds before the plane takes off and Jessie calls it "Woody's finest hour" (A TV episode name).
In the end of Toy Story 2, Buzz shows another side to his personality as he talks to Jessie. He appears quite nervous as he tries his best to summon up the courage to talk to her. He tries to say that he thinks that she is a smart woman with beautiful hair, but he ends up messing up his words. As he walks away (clearly embarrassed), Jessie grabs him and responds by saying that he is the sweetest space toy that she's ever met. Shortly after this when Wheezy sings "You've Got a Friend in Me", Buzz and Jessie are seen standing next to each other (Jessie relaxing her arm on Buzz, both smiling), enjoying the song with their friends and fellow couple Woody and Bo Peep. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Jessie walks alongside Buzz as they go to see what all their friends are talking about. Buzz talks to Jessie saying, "Oh look, it's a Buzz Lightyear movie". Woody then teases Buzz in front of Jessie by saying "Well you don't look so fat when they draw you that way.", Buzz gives a quick look to Jessie and then makes a sarcastic laugh to Woody. When Rex plays a prank on Andy's toys (at the end of the Buzz Lightyear intro), Buzz and Jessie exchange glances and smile at each other. After this, Buzz and Jessie sit next to each other as the movie starts. In the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series, Buzz is always sitting next to Jessie during the various intros. During the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl on February 3, 2008, Buzz and Woody watch an ad for WALL-E while watching the game.
The outtakes of Toy Story 2 show black face-markers and outlined circles on Buzz's helmet, as well as the phrase "This Space For Rent" on his wings, with Buzz accusing Woody for those drawings. Buzz appears in the credits of the 2006 film Cars as a space rover. Buzz is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer and Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure video games.
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 character of 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 of his plays. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody, providing a calm and loving comfort whenever he is overwhelmed. 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 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 of Toy Story Bo Peep and Woody kiss under a mistletoe. In Toy Story 2, 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 seen together with Buzz and Jessie as they enjoy watching Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me."
When Toy Story 2 came out there was an interview with all the characters on the official movie site. There is one interview with Bo Peep, she was asked "Are you worried about Woody's relationship with Jessie?" she replies: " There is nothing to worry about, me and Jessie are good friends. Woody and Jessie act like brother and sister more than anything else. Now it's not Woody, but a certain space toy who is head over heels for Jessie, but you didn't hear that from me!".
She is voiced by Annie Potts and by many other voice actors in her other appearances.
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.
Rex
Rex, often known as Rex the Green Dinosaur, is a large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex with a lot of anxiety from an inferiority complex ("I don't think I could take that kind of rejection!") and he is afraid he is not scary enough. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn and by Earl Boen in the Toy Story 2 video game. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy will gain another, scarier dinosaur, but feels better after Buzz gives him a few pointers on how to roar better. In Toy Story, he states that he was made 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). He tries to avoid confronting Woody when he is accused of trying to kill Buzz, but slowly and reluctantly turns against him under peer pressure, quickly experiencing guilt later on. He is known to have a sensitive stomach and actually vomited when he saw Buzz's dismembered arm.
At the beginning of Toy Story 2, he is 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 he is all prepared with his video game experiences, 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. After the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Rex excitedly finds a "Buzz Lightyear" video game strategy guide, only to lose it later, but is still able to give Buzz (the toys take a "Bonus Belt" Buzz instead) some secrets 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 rearview 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 Buzz #2 off, 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 only for real.
Rex is based on the Tyrannosaurus toy from the Dinoriders toyline. 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 in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at the crosswalk with Mike and Sulley who both are smaller than him. 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, is a wise-cracking talking plastic piggy bank with a cork in his belly. 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.
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 and gets angry at Rex. He sees a sobbing Al in TV about how he lose his money, which makes Hamm happy. His voice is performed by John Ratzenberger and by Andrew Stanton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.
Slinky Dog
Slinky Dog, also known as Slinky, is a toy dachshund with a metal slinky for a mid-section, who speaks with a redneck accent.
In the first two films, he is voiced by Jim Varney. In the third film, he is voiced by Blake Clark. In Toy Story Racer, he is voiced by Darryl Kurylo.
Slinky is based on Slinky Dog, 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 redesigned for the film by Pixar artist Bud Luckey to make him more appealing as an animated character. Slinky is loyal to Sheriff Woody (who often calls him "Slink"), even when the other toys turn on him following the "window incident". Later, Slinky catches the string of Christmas lights thrown by Woody from Sid's house, but Mr. Potato Head snatches it away. Woody then pretends to the toys that Buzz is with him; Slinky orders Potato Head to hand over the string, but Potato Head, suspicious of what Woody is actually doing, refuses. When Woody blows their cover by accidentally revealing Buzz's severed arm, Slinky, too, loses faith in Woody; however, he is one of the first to accept that Woody was not the culprit that the others had made him out to be. He appears to express remorse directly after participating in throwing Woody off the moving truck, and even more so when it turns out Woody was telling the truth about Buzz. Once the toys learn from Bo Peep that "Woody was telling the truth," they all (including him) become guilty of what they've done to their leader. After the truck ramp is pulled down by Rocky, Slinky's tail is grabbed on by Potato Head and Rex, so Slinky will get Woody, Buzz, and RC back into the moving van, but RC's batteries are depleted, and Slinky gets stretched out, loses his grip on Woody, and rebound back into the truck.
In the beginning of Toy Story 2, Slinky 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 bun-gee cord when the toys jump from the roof of Andy's house. When the toys break into Al's apartment, Slinky uses his string 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.
Slinky will appear again in Toy Story 3.
Slinky is also a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game.
Mr. Potato Head
Mr. Potato Head (often referred to as simply Potato Head) is a moody Mr. Potato Head doll by Playskool. He is outspoken, sarcastic and jealous. A 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. For unknown reasons, he is the only toy shown to be 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.
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." 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 leads a mutiny with the other toys. He is somewhat satisfied 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 orders the other toys to "toss him overboard;" however, when Bo Peep reveals that "Woody was telling the truth," Potato Head realizes his error and compensates by holding onto Slinky's tail so Slinky could help Woody, Buzz, and RC back into the truck. He falls apart twice during the moving truck scene. At the end of the film, he is surprised to hear Molly receiving Mrs. Potato Head for her Christmas present.
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. 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. Couldn't he have gotten one of his shoes that Mrs. Potato Head packed up for 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 pare 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. He initially feels annoyed when the aliens repeatedly express their eternal gratefulness towards him, but after the toys return home, he reluctantly gives in to his wife's decision to adopt the aliens as their children.
He is seen as an Interactive Audio-Animatronic at Toy Story Midway Mania!. He is voiced by Don Rickles and by Kenneth Mars in one of the video games.
Mrs. Potato Head
Mrs. Potato Head 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. 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. 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 and her husband become adoptive parents of the three Squeeze Toy Aliens that Andy's toys has found in the Pizza Planet truck, rescued, and brought home. She is voiced by Estelle Harris. The outtakes show Mrs. Potato Head overloading her husband's back compartment with several unnecessary appendages, including 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 will appear in Toy Story 3 and in this movie, one of her eyes were left behind in Andy's Room. Maybe it was rumored that Mrs. Potato Head lost her right eye out the car window in the Bridgestone commercial from the Super Bowl XLIII.
Sarge
'Sarge, also known as Army Sarge and Sergeant, is the gung-ho commander of an army of plastic toy soldiers from Bucket O Soldiers. 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. After Woody knocks Buzz out the window, Sarge rants at Woody furiously, knowing he's not a worthy captain, and later, both he and the other Green Army Men jump up on Woody's body and "frag" him. 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, Sarge and the rest of the army soldiers escape Andy's house through an open window to avoid being thrown away. The voice of Sarge is performed by R. Lee Ermey.
RC
RC is Andy's remote controlled car. He has a green body with blue splash decals on the front. RC speaks in "whirring" 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 into a gap between the edge of the table and the wall. 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. Perhaps his remote was tossed into the moving truck unseen along with RC, perhaps Andy had a spare remote, or perhaps somebody found it on the street and returned it to Andy. He is unable to control himself when someone is using his remote. RC will also be shown in Toy Story 3 in June of 2010.
Lenny
Lenny, often known as Lenny the Binoculars, is a pair of binoculars with feet. 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, Buzz 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 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).
He also sounds like Cheech Marin.
Lenny is voiced by Joe Ranft. He will appear in Toy Story 3, but without a speaking role.
Wheezy
Wheezy, often known as Wheezy the Penguin, is a rubber squeeze toy penguin with a red bow tie, whom Woody finds after Andy's mom puts him on the shelf in Toy Story 2. He was about to be sold 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, held by Rocky and Rock'N 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. He was voiced by Joe Ranft, and his singing voice was provided by Robert Goulet. 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.
He will appear again in Toy Story 3, but will only make a cameo in Andy's home videos.
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.
Mike
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. 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, Mr. Spell helps Andy's toys figure out who has stolen Woody. Mr. Spell will appear in the 3rd film. Mr. Spell is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon.
Rocky Gibraltar
Rocky Gibraltar 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. As with Troll, Rocky is silent and plays an unimportant 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". 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. 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. Rocky will appear in Toy Story 3.
Snake and Robot
Snake is a green-purple jointed rattlesnake. Robot is toy 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. Robot has one line, and is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon. Snake and Robot will appear in Toy Story 3.
- 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.
Shark
Shark or 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!" 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 dark 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. 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: Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy with a bottun-down hand-painted-jacket with yellow stripes. He also cannot talk. 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 played with by Andy and lives in his toy box.
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 with an abnormally cute face[citation needed], which is clad in a blue bikini with oxeye daisies. She communicates by shaking her head for yes/no questions, but she can not 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.
Additional toys
- Barrel of Monkeys is a 1960s preschool game by Lakeside Toys. Andy owns an early 90s 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 a trailer for Toy Story 3, Woody, Jessie and Buzz are seen being attacked by a herd of monkeys.
- 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. 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.
- Magic 8-Ball is a "fortune-telling" toy by Tyco. In the first Toy Story, 8-Ball is seen on Andy's desk. In Toy Story 2, 8-Ball lies on Andy's top bookshelf next to a forgotten Wheezy and Rock-a-Stack, an old, dusty baby toy by Fisher-Price. 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. As it was only seen in this brief period, it is unknown if the ball is alive although the Mystery is solved about that when Woody gets placed on the shelf in Toy Story 2 when the Ball is next to him covered with dust.
- See 'n Say The Farmer Says: See 'n Say "The Farmer Says" educational toy for toddlers by Mattel, appears only 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. An early 1980s version of this toy will be seen in Toy Story 3 where the toys gamble.
- 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 in 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.
- 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, 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) See Jingle Joe.
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 unlucky mutilated toys who live their unhappy lives in the darkest corners of Sid's room. 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) and 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).
Babyface
Babyface (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. Babyface lives in the shadows under Sid's bed. One way Babyface 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, Babyface, suspended by Legs, lands on Sid's head, scaring him. Babyface is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.
Ducky
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.
The Frog
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.
Hand-in-the-box
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.
Jingle Joe
Jingle Joe - another triple toy combination. He is a Combat Carl head staked on top of a Melody Push Chime toddler toy 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.
Legs
Legs - a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. She is shown to be very strong, being able to hold Ducky's and Babyface's weight. When Woody formulates his plan to save Buzz from Sid, he assigns Legs to partner up with Ducky. Legs open 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 lower Babyface onto Sid's head, scaring the evil toy-destroying kid.
Rockmobile
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 walks on the Rocky doll's hands.
Roller Bob
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.
Walking Car
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
Janie and Pterodactyl - Hannah's beloved rag doll, Janie, and Sid's creepy toy, Pterodactyl, 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, "Red rum!" in a reference to The Shining (however, this can be interpreted as only "Mama!").
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!", in a manner similar to that of a basic talking doll), 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/Al's house
This section contains characters first seen in Toy Story 2.
Jessie is a character in Toy Story 2, voiced by Joan Cusack (yodeling by Mary Kay Bergman). In the movie, she 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, Woody's horse. Jessie is essentially a female counterpart to Woody, except that she's much more excitable than him. Other than that, her trademarks are her red hair, green eyes and her tendency to yodel when she's excited or happy. Her hair is in the style of a ponytail braid with a yellow bow decorated on the tip.
Jessie knows what it means to be a toy, however, hides a great deal of sadness behind her playful personality, as she was dumped into the darkness of storage after her original owner, Emily, outgrew her by the dawn of the 1960s "groovy" culture. When Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin, he watches an episode of "Woody's roundup", but when "Woody's finest Hour", is about to play Jessie sadly turns the TV off much to Woody's disappointment. Prospector tells him that the show was canceled because of Sputnik which the kids then only wanted to play with Space Toys. Woody and his friends then continue to play with the merchandise until Woody says that he has to go back to Andy instead of going to the Tokyo Toy Museum with the Gang. Jessie then reveals that being in storage has made her claustrophobic when she starts to hyperventilate and says "I can't do storage again! I won't go back in the dark!". Later that night, The Prospector frames Jessie for turning on the tv which causes Al to wake up and ruin Woody's chances of leaving. As a result, Woody confronts Jessie. Woody calls Jessie a liar and after Jessie dares him to say it again, she pounces on him screaming "Take it back!", she finishes their fight by putting him in a wrestling move (similar to the one Buzz had him in the first movie), as Prospector tells them to stop. After learning about Jessie's tragic story, Woody decides to stay, making Jessie happy again. There is some ongoing chemistry between Jessie and Woody, much like a brother and sister since Woody already has a girlfriend in Bo Peep, a porcelain shepherdess figure. At the end of the film, Jessie and Bullseye are adopted as part of Andy's toys and Buzz seems to have formed feelings for her, though he nervously babbles his words by describing her as a "bright young woman with a beautiful yarnful of hair, hairful of yarn". She embraces him and returns his 'compliment' by describing him as the "sweetest space toy she ever met". After that, she and Buzz are seen together with Woody and Bo Peep as they enjoy watching Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me."
On the early Toy Story website after Toy Story 2 came out there was an interview with all the characters. With Jessie's interview one of the questions that was asked was "Where would you like to live if it wasn't in Andy's Room?" to which she replied "I'll live anywhere as long as I'm with my friends."
In an outtake, Jessie accidentally pulls Woody's entire string out. At first she appears to be shocked, but soon bursts into a fit of laughter saying "Should that just be part of the movie now? He now lost his string?", right after that she drops the string on the floor, and continues to laugh as she kneels down on the floor.
Jessie makes a cameo in Monsters, Inc. where she is one of the toys that belong to "Boo".
Bullseye
Bullseye is a non-speaking character in Toy Story 2. In the film, he is a toy 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 commanders 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 are now part of Andy's toys. Bullseye has every letter of Andy's name printed on the sole of each of his hooves.
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, he uses "body language" to "speak". According to a character interview that use to be up on the early 90's Toy Story website, Bullseye communicated with Jessie while in storage by tapping his hooves to yes or no questions.
Stinky Pete
Stinky Pete was a portly prospector doll and the main antagonist in the second film. He is voiced by Kelsey Grammer. He is a toy modeled after a character on the television show, Woody's Roundup, where the characters consists of Sheriff Woody (the main character), Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl (Woody's yodeling cowgirl sidekick), Stinky Pete (an idiot hillbilly), and Bullseye the Horse (Woody's trusty steed). The Prospector doll seen in the film have 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 as a grandfather-figure and mentor. Sadly, the Prospector spent "a life time on a dime store shelf watching every other toy be sold," until Al McWhiggin eventually found him which explains the reason why he was really just plain old mean.
Stinky Pete has always hated space toys (especially Buzz Lightyear), which arose (due to the popularity of space travel and related toys in his time, which put cowboy toys out of fashion). It's also highly implied that he hates children, as he was never sold.
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 sabatoge Woody's attempt to go back to Andy and take Jessie, and Bullseye with him. He also sabotaged Woody's attempt in getting his arm back by secretly turning on the TV during the night because he thinks Woody is escaping and he frames Jessie. 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 lead to a showdown at the airport, where the Prospector punched Buzz, who came to rescue Woody off the ramp. Angered by this, Woody then fought the Prospector for harming his friend, but the Prospector reopened an old rip in Woody's arm, and was about to finish Woody off to pieces, but the toys blinded and stunned him with a flash camera. Buzz, having survived the fall, arrived and grabbed the Prospector by his shirt. Thinking that it's time the Prospector learned the "true meaning of playtime", Woody instructed Buzz and the other toys to dump the Prospector into a Barbie doll backpack that belongs to a little girl named Amy, who enjoyed decorating her dolls' faces with tattoos as punishment for his betrayal. At that time, Amy decided to give the Prospector a makeover, much to his discomfort. The Prospector then started crying as he was taken to his new owner's home.
After Toy Story 2 came out, on the website, there were interviews with all the characters. Prospector said that he's used to Amy decorating him, and he liked it.
According to his box, the Prospector had only a total of 9 sayings such as "Ther's gold in them ther hills", "Help! I think I'm stuck!", "Aw, Shucks-a-roo", and "Oh Boy!...Beans for dinner".
He is one of the two real toy villains in the Toy Story movies (along with Zurg), though there is an element of sympathy given the fact that he has been confined to a box since the 1950s when the original show was made. 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."
Tour Guide Barbie
Tour Guide Barbie is a Barbie doll 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 "Bonus Belt" Buzz; see below). After the outtakes of the film, Tour Guide Barbie waves goodbye to the audience until her face hurts from smiling.
Bonus Belt Buzz (Wrong Buzz)
The Bonus Belt Buzz, referred to as "Buzz #2" is a Buzz Lightyear action figure, one of the latest in its line, and wears a special, limited-edition anti-gravitational belt and also one of the film's main antagonists. 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's personality in the first film, he believes that he is a real space ranger (however, is aware that there are hundreds of other Buzz Lightyear "space rangers" like himself, 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, 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. While on the elevator, they encounter a savage Emperor Zurg toy, which claims to be the father of Buzz #2, much to his chagrin. Rex defeats Zurg by accident, sending it falling off the elevator to its apparent doom, making Buzz #2 suddenly upset. 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 is Buzz Lightyear's arch-enemy, as well as his "father." Briefly mentioned in the first film as Buzz's sworn enemy, he makes his first appearance in Toy Story 2 as a minor villain in the film, in which he is voiced by Andrew Stanton. A Zurg action figure is accidentally activated by Buzz when he escapes from Al's Toy Barn. Believing himself to be real much like Buzz has done in the first film and "Bonus Belt" Buzz does in the second film, Zurg gives chase to destroy Buzz. In the elevator shaft, Zurg confronts Buzz, who is accompanied by another Buzz who also believes himself to be real. Buzz #2 battles him, during which Zurg reveals (in an extremely obvious parody of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) that he is his father. Just as he is about to finish Buzz #2 off (at point-blank range), Zurg is then accidentally knocked down the shaft by Rex, but he survives to establish a real father-son relationship with Buzz #2, as they are seen playing catch after Andy's Buzz and the other toys leave the apartment.
Zurg is the main boss in the "Buzz Lightyear" video game in the movie, on which Rex always gets stuck due to his lack of experience, and thumbs. Thus making him quite excited when he "defeats" Zurg for real in the elevator shaft. His weapon is an "ion blaster" he wields in his right hand; while the blaster in the fictional "Buzz Lightyear" universe has enough power to blast Buzz's upper body to smithereens; the toy counterpart is a spring-loaded gun that can fire plastic balls (which he uses to play catch with Buzz #2). In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, he is voiced by Wayne Knight, who voices Al in Toy Story 2
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 responds, 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).

Ken (voiced by Michael Keaton) is a smooth talking doll who falls in love with Barbie. He wears light blue shorts and a leopard-print shirt with short sleeves. His accessories include matching ascot, sensible loafers and a fashion-forward gold belt. He also hates being called a "girl's toy", similar to Francis the ladybug from A Bug's Life.

They appear to be promotional toys for Pizza Planet, as they wear uniforms with the restaurant's logo. In the original film, these identical toys are prizes in a game of skill at the Pizza Planet restaurant and each one believes that "The Claw" will somehow choose one of them to "go on to a better place." In the sequel, three of these toys are found in a Pizza Planet truck that the toys hijack to chase Al to the airport. During the pursuit, they almost get blown out of the open window, but are rescued by Mr. Potato Head and become attached to him. Their unison catchphase is "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful." After the toys return to Andy's room, Mrs. Potato Head, hearing that her husband has saved the aliens, chooses to adopt them, much to his dismay. They also appear in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and the subsequent Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television program. In this series they are an actual alien race and are employed by Star Command as scientists and inventors. They are called "Little Green Men" or "L.G.M." for short. A Squeeze Toy Alien is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game under the name "Little Green Man". They also are seen at Disneyland's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
This Barbie doll only appears in Toy Story 3. She is Molly's Barbie doll. 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. Throughout the film, she falls in love with Ken. She is actually based off a real doll from the 1980s called 'Great Shape Barbie'.
Humans
Andy Davis
Andrew "Andy" Davis an 8-year-old boy, is the 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, 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 three 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 the first two films, Andy lives with his mother and his sister, Molly. His father is not seen in the movies. In Toy Story 3, Andy is now a young adult and is attending college, and attempts to put most of his toys in the attic. According to Toy Story producer Ralph Guggenheim, 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" was ultimately named after Andy Luckey, the son of legendary animator Bud Luckey — Pixar's fifth employee and the creator of Woody. The younger Luckey in interviews has claimed he wasn't aware that he was the namesake of the character, adding that he had assumed the character to have been named after Pixar animator Andrew Stanton. "It's kind of a funny 'urban legend' that 'Andy' from Toy Story was named after me. But, if he was named after a real person at all, it was probably Andrew Stanton," Andy Luckey told Animation Magazine.
Andy is voiced by John Morris, and by Charlie Bright in the third film as a child.
- Molly Davis is Andy's one-year-old baby sister. She is an infant in Toy Story and a toddler in Toy Story 2. Her squealing voice in Toy Story is supplied by Hannah Unkrich, Lee Unkrich's daughter. In a teaser trailer for Toy Story 3, Molly is shown briefly in a picture of Andy's high school graduation ceremony, where she is shown as a pre-teen. She will be voiced by Beatrice Miller in the third film.
- Andy's mom is the mother of Andy and Molly. Although implied, it is not clear if she's a single parent, though background information such as Ultimate Guides to the Films indicate she's a widow. She originally had brown hair during her first appearance in Toy Story, but as of Toy Story 2, she is now seen with blonde hair. She is voiced by Laurie Metcalf. She briefly appears in the Toy Story 3 trailer in a picture of Andy's high school graduation ceremony and later on when she asks Andy what to do with the toys.
Sid Phillips
Sidney 'Sid' Phillips is a disturbed, hyperactive, sadistic 13-year-old boy and the main antagonist of the first film. He was Andy's vicious neighbor (until Andy moved), and the worst nightmare any toy could have. Sid is a young, bratty skate punk with metal braces. He wears Black T-shirt with white Skull, whose idea of fun is terrorizing 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 telling him (in a sinister way) to take good care of his toys or else, causing Sid to panic and runs back into his house and into his room, considering all the things he had done with them. He also appears in a cameo as a garbage worker in Toy Story 3.
- Hannah Phillips is 6-year-old Sid's little sister. She cherishes her dolls and holds pretend tea parties with them. Her toys are often the victims of Sid's activities. She gives the name "Mrs. Nesbit" to Buzz when she dresses him for a tea party after discovering him. She appears to have crossed eyes. She is voiced by Sarah Freeman. When Sid becomes frightened of toys, Hannah capitalizes on it by showing Sally into his face and chasing him into his room, saying "What's wrong, Sid?! Don't you wanna play with Sally?!"
- Mr. Phillips is seen asleep, snoring, on a La-Z-Boy when Buzz enters the TV room. (unknown voice actor)
- Mrs. Phillips is not seen, but Hannah calls for her on several occasions and calls to Sid twice in the film. (unknown voice actress)
Al McWhiggin
Albert 'Al' McWhiggin is a 38-year-old toy dealer who steals Woody in Toy Story 2 in hope of selling him to a Japanese toy museum, serving as a minor antagonist in the film. 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 after 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 toy shop called Al's Toy Barn. The store is first seen in an advertisement 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 Japanese interests for a large sum of money.
However, just as Al's plane is about to fly off to Japan with the Roundup gang in luggage, Andy's toys, led by Buzz Lightyear, 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. When Al reaches Japan his boss gets angry and forces Al to pay all his money and Al sadly returns home and gives out commercials for his toy store but cries for his failure. At the end of the movie, Hamm and Rex are watching a TV commercial for Al's Toy Barn in which a sobbing Al says that his store has the lowest prices in town. Hamm comments on this by saying: "Well, I guess crime doesn't pay."
Al's last name was revealed on the nameplate on his office desk. According to Disney Adventures magazine, Al wasn't allowed to play with his toys as a child. This, in turn, led 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 Ash Brannon, co-director of Toy Story 2's actual license plate, according to the Toy Story 2: Special Edition commentary.
Geri the Cleaner
Geri comes to Al's apartment in Toy Story 2 to repair Woody in preparation for his trip to Japan. He calls toy restoration 'art', as he says "you can't rush art" once in the film. Geri is voiced by Jonathan Harris. Geri was originally in the 1997 Pixar short-film entitled Geri's Game, voiced by Bob Peterson.
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 employer 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. (unknown voice actor)
Other humans
- In the beginning of Toy Story, when Andy is playing Woody in the downstairs going to the living room, old pictures are seen with Andy (who was as a scout) and his mother and baby-sister, Molly.
- In the first Toy Story, the driver of the Pizza Planet truck pulls into Dinoco and asks the gas station attendant for directions to Cutting Boulevard. (unknown voices)
- Joe is an employee at Al's Toy Barn. 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." (unknown voice)
- As mentioned by Jessie, Emily is the name of her former owner. She appears only during the "When She Loved Me" musical sequence, 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 (and the "Woody's Roundup" TV show?), apparent through her love of Jessie. As she became a teenager her horse obsession turned to the psychadelic pop music of the time, boys (is she chatting to a boyfriend on the phone?) and makeup and gossip with her girlfriends. 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 psychadelic 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 Toy Story 2 Emily is in her mid forties.
- 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 Toy Story 2. She describes the Prospector as "a big ugly man-doll" and plans to do a makeover on him. (unknown voice)
- Additional human characters are noticeable for a short time at the Pizza Planet restaurant in Toy Story, and at the yard sale and the Tri-County International Airport in Toy Story 2 (most have unknown voice actors)
- Both Pizza Planet and the airport have a female P.A. announcer who, in both films, announces something about the white zone.
- 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, another anonymous girl spots Slinky in the pet carrier, thinking it is a real puppy, only to be scared away by Slinky who barks at her.
- 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 Andi Peters.
- After the luggage transporter reaches the plane, another airport worker is seen loading the luggage into the plane's cargo hold.
- In Toy Story 2, 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.
Other characters
Buster
Buster is Andy's dog, whom he receives at the end of Toy Story and is seen in Toy Story 2. He is always full of energy, and overall a good dog. Despite the fact over most dogs are violent toward toys, 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. 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. Whenever Buster is with Andy, he seems to hide his smart and obedient side. He will appear in Toy Story 3 but will look very aged, mixed brown and gray, a bit overweight and a teensy bit too weak to help Woody and the toys escape.
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 cameo appearances as "prizes" determined by the score of players in Toy Story Midway Mania.
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. His job was to search the yard. (unseen character)
Scud
Scud is Sid's vicious bull terrier and horrible "toy-chewer machine", and a supporting but minor villain in Toy Story. 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 appears 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.
Whiskers
Whiskers is an unseen character who is mentioned when the toys are trying to rescue Buzz from the window. It is assumed that he or she is a cat because before Rex says "Whiskers, will you get out of 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)
Zurg's Robots
Zurg's Robots 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
TV Announcer
TV Announcer is an unseen character who announces Buzz Lightyear toys in a TV commercial in Toy Story. His voice is performed by Penn Jillette.
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. It is said they may appear in Toy Story 3 because Prospector promised them a role.
In other media
Speck is Andy's second dog. He appeared in a Disney Adventures Comic. Unlike Buster, he was very violent and none of the toys liked him. But after he saved Woody and Buzz from being run over by an RV, he was dubbed a hero. He looks like a beagle mix. Given that he isn't appearing in Toy Story 3, it is unlikely that Speck is considered canon.
