Sheriff Woody Pride (voiced by Tom Hanks in films and Jim Hanks in other media)[1] is a 1950s traditional pullstringcowboy doll, and Andy's favorite toy. He usually acts as the leader of Andy's toy group. He is extremely proud of his hat; for example, in Toy Story 3, he is alarmed when he discovers that he has lost his hat. His rivalry with Buzz forms the basis of the first film's plot. In Toy Story 2, he is stolen at a yard sale by a toy collector named Al, causing the other toys to embark on a rescue mission. In the film, it is stated that he was the star of a fictional 1950s puppet television series titled Woody's Roundup. In Toy Story 3, he and the other toys are donated to a daycare center and must race to get home before Andy leaves for college; he later gets himself and the other toys passed on to Bonnie. In Toy Story 4, he joins Bo Peep in traveling with his new family and Forky. They also helped lost toys find owners and save Forky from running away. Woody appears in the following Toy Story productions: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Treats, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror!, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (Intro), Lamp Life and Toy Story 5.
Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen in films, Patrick Warburton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Pat Fraley in Toy Story Treats and video games, Mike MacRae in video games, Chris Evans in Lightyear and Javier Fernández-Peña in Spanish mode)[2][3][4] is a modern-day "Space Ranger" action figure. In the films, he acts as Woody's second-in-command. In Toy Story, he begins the series believing he is a real Space Ranger (the other toys are aware that they are toys) and develops a rivalry with Woody, who resents him for getting more attention as the newcomer. His catchphrase is "To infinity and beyond!" During the film, he comes to realize that he is just a toy, and eventually becomes good friends with Woody. He is extremely loyal to his friends. In Toy Story 2, Buzz with Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky goes to save Woody from Al, where he gets stuck in the Buzz Lightyear aisle in Al's Toy Barn by another Buzz and finds out for himself what he was really like. In Toy Story 3, a relationship begins to develop between Buzz and Jessie. He is particularly open with his affection when switched to "Spanish mode". Andy regards Woody and Buzz as his two favorite toys, in the third film, he considers which one he will take to college, and ultimately chooses Woody. When passing on his toys to Bonnie, he describes Buzz as "the coolest toy ever". A 65-episode television series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, aired from 2000 to 2001, featuring Buzz as a real Space Ranger. The 2022 Pixar film, Lightyear, depicts the origin story of the character, which, in the narrative of Toy Story, inspired the line of Buzz Lightyear toys shown. In Lightyear, Buzz is shown to be a Space Ranger in Star Command, who is drawn into a conflict with Emperor Zurg after he experiences the effects of time dilation while testing faster-than-light travel methods. Buzz Lightyear appears in the following Toy Story Productions: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Treats, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror!, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Pixar Popcorn, Lightyear and Toy Story 5.
Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts)[5] is a porcelain figurine who serves as Woody's romantic interest.[6] Bo Peep, inspired by the nursery rhyme "Little Bo-Peep", is a sweet-natured shepherdess accompanied by a single figure meant to resemble three sheep named Billy, Goat and Gruff. In the first film, she and her sheep are detachable components of Molly's bedside lamp. In Andy's games of imaginative play, Bo Peep is used as the damsel-in-distress of the stories, and she is depicted as gentle, ladylike, and kindhearted. After being given away prior to the events of Toy Story 3, in which Rex mentions that she had gone on to a new owner (which upsets Woody), Bo Peep returns with a major role in Toy Story 4.[7] The film focuses on her relationship with Woody and she has a different philosophy on what it means to be a toy.[8][9] Bo Peep no longer wears a skirt and her frills have been flattened out. She also wears a white bandage to fix her broken right arm and a purple bandage to fix her broken left hand.[10] Bo Peep appears in the following Toy Story productions: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 (cameo), Toy Story 4, and Lamp Life.
Mr. Potato Head (voiced by Don Rickles)[12] is a sarcastic, Brooklyn-accented figure based on the real-life Mr. Potato Head toy. His design allows him to detach parts from his body and he has a compartment on his lower back to store extra appendages. He retains control over his parts even if they are disconnected from his body. While this attribute is mostly used for comedic effect, it does have its uses, particularly in the second and third films. His wife is Mrs. Potato Head, and they become the adoptive parents to a trio of Aliens in the second film. In the opening scenes of the first and third films, he is described by Andy as the outlaw One-Eyed Bart. Mr. Potato Head appears in the four main Toy Story movies. His voice actor, Don Rickles, had signed on for the fourth film,[13] but died in 2017,[14] before recording any lines.[15] Rickles's family contacted the filmmakers and asked if there was a way to include his old vocal recordings in the film. The filmmakers went through 25 years of Rickles's unused Mr. Potato Head recordings – from the previous three films, the Disney theme parks, and the Toy Story video games – to use as the character's lines for the fourth film.[12] According to director Josh Cooley, an editorial team "logged every word, every cough, every hum, just so we'd know what we had". Cooley worked with the film's screenwriters, Andrew Stanton and Stephany Folsom, to write general lines for the character, and then looked through the database of archived recordings to find a suitable dialogue match. Mr. Potato Head has seven lines and a laugh in the film.[16] Mr. Potato Head appears in the following Toy Story Productions: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror!, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Pixar Popcorn and many more.
Hamm (voiced by John Ratzenberger[24] as primary voice actor and Andrew Stanton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins)[citation needed] is a wisecracking stylized plastic piggy bank. He has a cork in his belly in place of a stopper. He and Mr. Potato Head are friends, and are seen in the first film playing a card game, and later Battleship, which Hamm always wins. Out of all the toys, he is shown to have the most knowledge of the outside world, often being familiar with various gadgets that are shown. In the second and third films, Andy portrays Hamm as a villain known as "Evil Dr. Porkchop", who typically dons Mr. Potato Head's bowler hat. In the third film, Evil Dr. Porkchop has a giant pig-shaped aircraft, which he uses to rescue One-Eyed Bart and One-Eyed Betty (the Potato Heads). Hamm appears in each of the Toy Story movies. He appears in the post-credit scene of Cars as part of a homage and self-parody to Ratzenberger (who voices Mack in the film). Hamm also briefly appears in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, voiced by Andrew Stanton. In a 2010 television advertisement for the United States federal government's United States Postal Service promoting Toy Story 3, Hamm wears a postal worker's outfit while promoting the Priority Mail service, Ratzenberger is best known for his role as mailman Cliff Clavin on the long-running sitcom Cheers.[25] Hamm also makes an appearance in Toy Story 3: The Video Game as the mayor in Toy Box mode.

Andrew "Andy" Davis (voiced by John Morris in all four films, Charlie Bright in Toy Story 3 and Jack McGraw in Toy Story 4)[33] is the overarching protagonist of the Toy Story franchise and the original owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys in the first three films. He lives with his mother and his sister Molly until the third film, when he goes to college after turning 17. His father is never seen or mentioned in the films. In Toy Story 2, Andy's mother calls Woody "an old family toy" and Prospector calls him a hand-me-down toy. John Lasseter said "we always thought" that Woody was "kind of a hand-me-down" to Andy from his father.[34] 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. Davis was ultimately named after and based on Andy Luckey, the son of animator Bud Luckey, Pixar's fifth employee and the creator of Woody.[35] The physical appearance of Andy differs slightly between each of the films due to advances in animation technology.[36][37][38][39]
Mrs. Davis (voiced by Laurie Metcalf)[40] is Andy and Molly's single mother. Mrs. Davis is presented as a loving mother to Andy and Molly, but is a major though indirect threat to the toys. Mrs. Davis's actions regarding the toys sets the plot in motion in the first three films, though they are not malicious. In the first film, she purchases a Buzz Lightyear toy for Andy on his birthday, prompting the rivalry between Buzz and Woody which leads to them being lost and forced to find their way home. In the second film, she puts Wheezy up for sale at a yard sale, prompting Woody's rescue attempt where he is subsequently stolen by Al. In the third film, she orders Andy to clean out his room before going to college and mistakenly throws away the toys Andy planned to put in the attic. Despite this, in the second film, she is very protective of Woody, describing him as an old family toy. At the end of the third film, she breaks down and weeps at the departure of her son, but Andy reassures her that she will always be with him even if they are apart. This moment between mother and son plays a major factor in Woody's decision to have Andy donate his toys to Bonnie, thus giving them a new lease on their lives.
Molly Davis (voiced by Hannah Unkrich in Toy Story 2 and archived footage in Toy Story 3 and Bea Miller in Toy Story 3[41]) is Andy's younger sister, seen as a baby in the first film, a toddler in the second film, and as a preteen in the third film. Andy uses her crib as a town jail during playtime at the beginning of the first film, showing they share a room. When the family moves later in the film, Andy and Molly get separate rooms, though Molly has plans to move into Andy's room once he leaves for college. In the first film, she slobbers on Mr. Potato Head and throws him from the crib, causing his parts to scatter and earning her the nickname "Princess Drool" from him. At the end of the film, she receives a Mrs. Potato Head toy for Christmas. In Toy Story 3, she also owned a Barbie doll, which she donates to the daycare center as she was less interested in dolls and toys by that time. In Toy Story 2, Molly was voiced by co-director Lee Unkrich's daughter, Hannah Unkrich. Lee Unkrich later re-used the recordings of his daughter to portray Molly during old home video scenes at the beginning of Toy Story 3.[42][43]
Sidney "Sid" Phillips (voiced by Erik von Detten)[44] is Andy's next-door neighbor until Andy moves away, but it is unknown if he and Andy know each other. Sid is known for torturing and destroying toys. Many of his toys are either destroyed or have pieces missing or replaced with parts from other toys. He is also shown tormenting his sister, Hannah, and destroying her toys, such as by blowing them up, burning them or decapitating them. He also enjoys skateboarding, and his shirt depicts a skull that would later be used as the logo for Zero Skateboards. Andy's toys mention that Sid was consistently kicked out of summer camp, and in the audio commentary on the 10th anniversary DVD, the directors mention that he is a bully but also the "most creative character in the movie". His parents do not make any major appearances: his mother's voice is only heard briefly several times in the film, and his father is only seen briefly asleep on a chair in front of a TV. He also has a dog named Scud. Sid is the only human character in the films to witness toys actually coming to life, when near the end of the first film, Woody and Sid's mutant toys decide to rescue Buzz by scaring Sid, which causes him to become very frightened of toys. The last straw is Woody coming alive while Sid is holding him and telling him to "play nice". This causes Sid to panic and run back into his house screaming, and then to his room when his sister scares him with her toy doll. Sid does not appear in the second film, although he is mentioned once by Buzz during the toys' mission to rescue Woody from the toy collector Al McWhiggin. Sid also appears in the four-issue Monsters, Inc. comic mini-series produced by Boom! Comics.[45] In the third film, Sid makes brief appearances in two scenes once again voiced by Erik von Detten. He is shown to be a garbage man with a small beard, recognizable by his characteristic skull shirt.[46] His only dialogue in this film involves humming guitar riffs, and he is depicted listening to heavy metal music through a pair of large headphones.[46]
Hannah Phillips (voiced by Sarah Freeman)[47] is Sid's sweet-natured, younger sister who appears a few times in the film. Hannah has adjusted to her toys being mutilated by Sid. Most of her dolls either have different heads or altered body parts, and at the end of the film she finds enjoyment in scaring her brother after he has been horrified by Woody and the other toys. She spends most of the time during the movie playing with her altered dolls.
Scud is Sid's aggressive Bull Terrier. First appearing when Sid blows up a Combat Carl in his backyard with an explosive, Scud is shown to have a malicious intent towards toys as he chews them violently to break them apart. His viciousness is first demonstrated when Sid sets a squeeze toy Alien on his nose and he mauls it. Scud is an obstacle for Woody and Buzz as they come alive and trying to escape Sid's house. Scud later spots Woody and Buzz trying to reach the moving van and pursues them, but is eluded when he runs after them into the middle of a traffic intersection and is trapped by the cars as they crash while trying to avoid him.
Mrs. Philips (voiced by Mickie McGowan) is Sid and Hannah's unseen mother with three lines, telling Sid when burning Woody's forehead: "Sid, your Pop-Tarts are ready!" and asking Hannah when she asks if she's seen her Sally doll: "What, dear? What was that?" Then telling Sid: "You left that door open!"
Babyface[28] is a one-eyed baby doll head staked on top of a spider-like body with crab or scorpion-like pincers made of Erector Set pieces. He is the leader of the mutant toys. Babyface is shown communicating with the other toys 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 surround Sid, Babyface, suspended by Legs, lands on Sid's head, scaring him instantly. Babyface appears in Toy Story Treats, and is a playable character in the 2001 video game Toy Story Racer.[28] In 2010, the Disney Store released a remote-controlled Babyface toy.[48]
Legs is a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. 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 lowers Ducky through the hole 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 Babyface onto Sid's head, scaring him. Legs also appears in Toy Story Treats.
A jack-in-the-box toy with a green Frankenstein-esque hand that pops out. During Woody's plan to save Buzz from Sid, the toy extends its hand to Sid's doorknob, ready to open the door when the signal comes. The hand later grabs Sid's leg when the mutant toys surround him. The toy also appears in Toy Story Treats.
RollerBob is a jet pilot action figure, whose torso has been attached to a skateboard. After the frog is let out of Sid's room to distract Scud, RollerBob ferries Woody and the other mutant toys outside the house to Sid's yard.
Rockmobile[27] is the head of a toy insect attached on top of a small, headless human torso toy who is holding a steering wheel. This torso is attached in the head socket of a larger, muscular human torso toy that is missing its legs.
Pump Boy is a yellow convertible toy car with doll arms instead of wheels. It is capable of walking very fast and climbing walls. As part of the toys' rescue plan, Woody chooses Pump Boy to wind up the frog to distract Scud.
A tin wind-up frog with two different wheels instead of back legs and without its left front foot. As part of Woody's plot to rescue Buzz from Sid, Woody orders, "Wind the frog!", at which point the frog is wound up by Pump Boy. When Ducky rings the doorbell, the frog is let out of Sid's room, allowing Scud to chase it down the stairs and out to the front porch, where it is caught by Ducky, Legs reels both toys up to safety.
Ducky is a triple toy combination: a duck-headed Pez dispenser with a doll torso and a plunger base. 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.
Jingle Joe is a Combat Carl head atop a jingling roller toy, with a severed Mickey Mouse arm nailed to the side for support. Jingle Joe first rolls out from under Sid's bed to fix Janie and the Pterodactyl. He notices Woody staring at them with a flashlight, so he turns it off, sending Woody running back to Buzz.
Combat Carl is a G.I. Joe-like soldier action figure who is blown up by Sid with an explosive device. Combat Carl is Caucasian; a different character with the same name, who is African-American, appears in Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story 4.
"Marie Antoinette" and "her little sister" are nicknames given to Hannah's two headless dolls by Buzz after he is found by Hannah who makes him and her dolls drink some tea at a tea party. The dolls, being decapitated, cannot talk, but they do wave when Buzz mentions them to Woody. The two dolls are also always seen sitting next to a headless teddy bear.
The Aliens (also known as Little Green Men) (voiced by Jeff Pidgeon as a primary voice actor,[32]Dee Bradley Baker in Tiny Toy Stories and Patrick Warburton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command) are green, three-eyed, rubber squeaky toy aliens. They appear in all four films. In Toy Story 2, three aliens become part of Andy's toy collection and are adopted by Mrs. Potato Head, although Mr. Potato Head does not accept them as his own until he and the other toys are rescued from an incinerator by the aliens using a claw crane in the climax of Toy Story 3 a decade later. In the third film, Mr. Potato Head refers to them as his "boys", implying that all three are male. In Toy Story, Buzz and Woody climb inside a giant rocket-shaped claw game at Pizza Planet. Inside the claw game are hundreds of squeeze toy aliens. When Buzz asks who is in charge, the Aliens say "The claw!", which belongs in the machine, they say that the claw chooses who will go and who will stay. Sid wins an alien from the claw game, then spots Buzz and tries to win him too. Woody attempts to save Buzz and escape through the claw game's maintenance hatch, but the Aliens stop him and say that they must not fight the claw. Woody, Buzz, and the alien get taken to Sid's house. Sid gives the Alien to his dog, Scud, who violently chews it as Woody and Buzz watch in horror. Near the end of the film, the same Alien is seen to be intact as it walks like a zombie towards Sid, as part of Woody's plan to scare him. In Toy Story 2, a trio of aliens are hanging above the dashboard in the Pizza Planet truck. Buzz groans when he sees them, remembering them from the claw game back at Pizza Planet. When the toys are having trouble getting the truck to move, the aliens tell Mr. Potato Head to use the wand of power, referring to the truck's gear lever. They nearly fall out of the window, due to the sharp turns from Buzz trying to catch Al in his car. Mr. Potato Head saves the aliens, and they are thankful to him. Throughout the rest of the film, they frequently say "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful.", much to Mr. Potato Head's dismay. The Aliens join the quest to save Woody and mistake the entrance to the baggage area for the mystic portal. Back home, the trio, along with Bullseye and Jessie, end up becoming some of Andy's toys. They say their gratefulness to Mr. Potato Head, and Mrs. Potato Head is so happy that he saved their lives, she decides they should adopt them, with the Aliens calling Mr. Potato Head "Daddy". In the opening sequence of Toy Story 3, the Aliens are portrayed by Andy as the henchmen under One-Eyed Bart and One-Eyed Betty (the Potato Heads), serving as the getaway drivers in a Chevrolet Corvette. In the present time, the trio continues to express their gratefulness to Mr. Potato Head. They are later donated to Sunnyside along with the rest of Andy's toys. In Sunnyside, the Aliens find a toy crane, which reminds them of the claw game in Pizza Planet. The Aliens get sat on and bounced on during a rough playtime with the toddlers. The toys plan to escape Sunnyside. The Aliens have to go through the playground with Woody and ride on Bullseye. They almost get caught by Big Baby because one of the Aliens falls off Bullseye and squeaks, but manage to hide inside a pail. Later when Andy's toys escape, one of the Alien's feet gets stuck in the lid of a dumpster. After Woody rescues the Alien, Lotso, who had been thrown into the bin by Big Baby, grabs Woody's feet and pulls him into the bin out of revenge just as the garbage truck arrives. The toys fall into the truck, which transports them to a landfill. The Aliens are separated from the others by a bulldozer when they wander off, having spotted a crane. They are later revealed to be in control of a giant claw crane, which they used to rescue the other toys from an incinerator after they were abandoned by Lotso. Mr. Potato Head finally acknowledges them as his children, reciting their repetitive line. The trio are later donated to Bonnie along with Andy's other toys. They also appear as minor characters in Toy Story 4, albeit only in the film's first act. They appear in the film Lightyear in a mid-credit scene as a statue on Commander Burnsides shelf. The Aliens reappear in the theatrical short films Hawaiian Vacation,Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex, and the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III. The Aliens also have a ride at Disney theme parks called Alien Swirling Saucers.
Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack) is a cowgirl doll, and part of the gang. In Toy Story 2, Jessie is very happy to see Woody at first, but is shocked to learn that he still has an owner in Andy. She is initially hesitant to join Andy's toys due to her past experience with her owner Emily, who put her in a charity box for donations after she grew up. This also caused her to develop claustrophobia, due to her fear of being put in storage. When Woody tells her of Andy's sister Molly, she immediately joins the gang. In Toy Story 3, wrongly believing Andy threw her and the other toys out, she argues with Woody, who tells the other toys that Andy was actually putting them in the attic, none of the other toys believe this until Mrs. Potato Head sees (through an eye that she misplaced in a corner in Andy's room) that Andy is looking for his toys and complaining that they are missing. Later in the film, Jessie becomes close with Buzz, especially when he is in Spanish mode. At the end, they dance to the Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me". Jessie is the main protagonist in the 2013 television special Toy Story of Terror!, where she saves the other toys from a toy thief and seller at the rest stop.
Bullseye is an extremely loyal toy horse and is part of the collection. In the fictional Woody's Roundup television series, Bullseye is portrayed as Woody and Jessie's horse. In Toy Story 2, he was happy to finally see Woody after a long time in storage. 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. When Woody decides to return to Andy, it is Bullseye's loyalty that causes Woody to try to get the other Roundup toys to join him. Unlike most of the other toys, Bullseye cannot communicate in anthropomorphic speech but typically remains silent, communicating via body language and occasional sounds resembling a realistic horse (or dog). He is also brave, gentle, sweet and rather sensitive. Bullseye returns in Toy Story 3 as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room and has a small role in Toy Story 4. Bullseye reappears in the short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, and Partysaurus Rex. At Disney California Adventure, Jessie and her critter friends star in a carousel ride called Jessie's Critter Carousel.
Stinky Pete, commonly known as the Prospector (voiced by Kelsey Grammer),[49] is a prospector doll and the main antagonist of the second film. He is a toy modeled after a character on the fictional television show Woody's Roundup, which also includes the characters of Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye. The Prospector had never been opened and was still mint in the box. In contrast to the buffoonish nature of the character on the show, the Prospector is intelligent, ruthless, manipulative, short-tempered, and well-spoken. He openly expresses his hatred for space toys like Buzz Lightyear, whom he angrily blames for causing Woody's Roundup to be cancelled after the launch of RSC Energia/Roscosmos' Sputnik, which made children all over America lose their interest in western toys. The Prospector believes the Roundup Gang should be put on display in a toy museum, and secretly disrupts Woody's escape attempt and frames Jessie for the sabotage. Later, he openly intervenes when Woody asks the Roundup Gang to come home with him, revealing he spent a long time watching other toys be sold before him, hence his willingness to go to Japan. After a final confrontation at the airport, Andy's toys stuff Prospector into a backpack belonging to Amy, an artistic girl who takes him in as her new toy. In one of the films outtakes, he is seen talking to two Barbie dolls in the box, saying that he could probably get them a role in the third film, this outtake was later deleted in the 2019 home media reissue, which media outlets inferred as a result of the Me Too movement.[50] Prospector appears in Toy Story Mania!, the Disney Parks attraction ride as well as the Toy Box mode of Toy Story 3: The Video Game,[51] now voiced by Stephen Stanton.
Utility Belt Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen) When searching for Woody at Al's Toy Barn, Buzz comes across the Buzz Lightyear aisle, including a display case labeled "New Utility Belt", which contains a newer Buzz Lightyear with a Utility Belt. He believes the original Buzz has escaped his box, and captures him inside one. He is then mistaken by Andy's toys to be the original Buzz and goes with them to rescue Woody, until he decides to join his father, Zurg.
Emperor Zurg (voiced by Andrew Stanton in Toy Story 2, Wayne Knight in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Jess Harnell in a mini counterpart in Small Fry and James Brolin in Lightyear) is a robotic villain action figure and Buzz's archenemy. He is a thinly veiled parody of Darth Vader from the Star Wars franchise (with certain other visual elements adapted from the Marvel UK character Death's Head). He usually carries an "ion blaster" that actually fires plastic balls. Zurg is mentioned in the first film under the title of the "Evil Emperor Zurg", but does not appear. He debuts in Toy Story 2 where he battles with Utility Belt Buzz Lightyear. Zurg claims he is the father of Buzz, in an almost word-for-word homage to the famous scene in The Empire Strikes Back. He is knocked down the elevator shaft by one of Andy's toys, Rex. In Toy Story 3, another Zurg appears briefly during a sequence in the end credits, where he is donated to Sunnyside Daycare center and greeted by the resident toys. Zurg also appears in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and its direct-to-video film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins as the main antagonist of both. Zurg is also a playable character in the PlayStation 3 version of Toy Story 3: The Video Game, in Toy Box Mode. In the game, he has a convertible (the ZurgsMobile) that matches his personality. Zurg's mini counterpart is featured in the short film Small Fry. A Zurg toy appears in the 2015 live-action Disney film Tomorrowland, in the Blast from the Past toy store.[52] In the 2022 spin-off film Lightyear, Zurg is revealed to be Buzz Lightyear who had traveled centuries due to the effects of time dilation after having experienced faster-than-light speeds. Zurg reveals he is 50 years older than his younger counterpart, and the name "Zurg" is the sound his robot minions make in reference to him (B'Zurg), assuming the identity. He controls a mecha suit, travels back in time to confront his younger self to fix a mistake he perceives he made. Zurg has become consumed with regret, resentment, and obsessed with his own "mission". He has utterly missed out on life, and blind to others experiences. In Buzz's final battle against him, he is seemingly killed in, but is revealed to be alive in a post-credits scene.
Tour Guide Barbie (voiced by Jodi Benson) is a Barbie doll who gives Andy's toys a tour of Al's Toy Barn.
A pair of Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots (voiced by John Lasseter and Lee Unkrich) appear in Al's office. When Slinky asks them if they have seen Woody, the two robots argue over which of them Slinky was asking. They fight each other in a boxing match, with the blue robot beating the red robot.
Al McWhiggin (nicknamed "The Chicken Man" by Andy's toys) (voiced by Wayne Knight) is the owner of Al's Toy Barn and the secondary antagonist of the second film. Al is first seen in Toy Story 2 during an advertisement of his toy store in which he is dressed up as a chicken man. Al is a collector of all things related to the old Woody's Roundup television show. He is greedy, unscrupulously obsessive, overweight, extremely impatient, and lazy, as he complains of having to drive all the way to work on a Saturday, despite his apartment only being across the street from the store. His car's license plate reads LZTYBRN, which is "Al's Toy Barn" minus the vowels and with a "Z" instead of an "S". This is how Buzz figured out that the chicken man was the kidnapper of Woody. 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, Al is also alluded to in Toy Story of Terror! as a name on a shipping address on the box Woody was gonna be sold in after being stolen, revealing Al tried to buy him again.
Mrs. Potato Head (voiced by Estelle Harris)[53] is Mr. Potato Head's wife. Unlike her husband, Mrs. Potato Head is sweet and easy going and not as hot-headed or impatient. She is mentioned in the first film, but is not seen until Toy Story 2. She has a larger role in Toy Story 3 as for most of the film, one of her eyes is lost in Andy's room, and it is through this eye that she sees Andy complaining that his toys are missing, causing the other toys to realize that Andy never intended to throw them away. She views the Aliens as her own children, but her husband does not share this view until the Aliens save them from the incinerator. Mrs. Potato Head reappears in the theatrical short film Hawaiian Vacation and acts as a tour guide for Ken and Barbie in their Hawaiian adventures. She also reappears in Small Fry, Partysaurus Rex, and Toy Story 4. Toy Story 4 was Harris' final film role before her retirement and death in 2022.
Wheezy (speaking voice by Joe Ranft and singing voice by Robert Goulet) is Andy's squeeze toy penguin that appears in Toy Story 2. He is introduced when Woody finds him on a shelf, after Andy accidentally ripped Woody's arm and his mom took him, where Wheezy had been placed after his squeaker broke, upsetting Andy. Wheezy does not directly appear in Toy Story 3 (possibly due to respect after Joe Ranft died) except in footage showing Andy as a young boy. Woody says that Wheezy was one of Andy's toys who went to new owners. Wheezy appears in the Toy Box mode in Toy Story 3: The Video Game.
The Cleaner (voiced by Jonathan Harris) is an elderly specialist in toy restoration and repair with a fully loaded toy repair kit. He comes to Al's apartment to fix Woody up in preparation of selling him to the toy museum. 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." The character model was previously used to portray Geri (voiced by Bob Peterson) in Pixar's short film, Geri's Game, where he plays a chess game against himself. In Toy Story 2, one of the drawers in the cleaner's carrying case contains chess pieces identical to those in the short film, and therefore hard proof that the toy restoration specialist is none other than Geri himself.
Emily is Jessie's former owner and is mentioned by her in the film. She appears in a flashback song while "When She Loved Me" by Sarah McLachlan is played. As a young girl, she was a fan of Woody's Roundup and enjoyed playing with Jessie. However, as she got older, she became more interested in makeup and talking with her friends on the phone, causing her to forget about Jessie, who had fallen under her bed, for years. As a teenager, she rediscovers Jessie, but promptly donates her to charity, causing Jessie to develop claustrophobia and a fear of being abandoned. In Toy Story 3, as Andy prepares to leave for college, and the toys begin to worry about their future, Jessie describes the situation as "Emily all over again."
Buster is Andy's pet dachshund, mentioned at the end of Toy Story as his Christmas present. In Toy Story 2, Buster is very energetic but friendly. He obeys commands given to him by Woody (although he does not obey orders from Andy), who uses Buster to rescue Wheezy from a yard sale. In Toy Story 3, Buster is now old, visibly aged, and overweight. Because of that, he is unable to help Woody rescue Andy's other toys, instead falling asleep. He stays with Mrs. Davis while Andy goes to college.
The Crazy Critters are the name given to several small animal cutouts that are friends of the roundup gang. They are often seen in the show Woody's Roundup accompanying the characters, as well as in several pieces of merchandise themed to it. The Crazy Critters can also be found on Toy Story Midway Mania! as prizes won by the riders depending on their score. The critters also serve as the vehicles for Jessie's Critter Carousel, and some horse critters help pull a cart that people board on the ride Woody's Round-Up.
The Zurg Bots (voiced by Angus MacLane in Lightyear) are Zurg's robot henchman that appear in a Buzz Lightyear video game that Rex plays in the beginning of the film, where they are antagonists. The Zurg Bots each have a "Z" symbol on their center standing for "Zurg", a laser built into their right arms, and miniature versions of the Zurg Bots built into their shoulder armor. Rex, playing as Buzz, shoots a crystal near him with his laser, causing several lasers to shoot towards each Zurg Bot surrounding him, and causing an explosion. The Zurg Bots reappear in the film Lightyear, where they are named Zyclopses, and act similarly to how they did in Toy Story 2, acting as henchman to Zurg. In Lightyear, they can speak, but the only word they can say is "Zurg".
Barbara "Barbie" Roberts (voiced by Jodi Benson)[11] is a Barbie doll who is one of the toys that Andy's sister Molly owns, until she decides to donate her to Sunnyside. She was modeled after the doll Great Shape Barbie.[42] Barbie is initially upset about being donated, but once at Sunnyside, Barbie meets Ken, who is as obsessed with fashion as she is. The two have a whirlwind romance and move into Ken's Dreamhouse together. Barbie later dumps Ken when she finds out he is a member of Lotso's gang. She allows herself to be imprisoned with Andy's toys, out of loyalty, and later tricks Ken into showing her some of his clothes, only to attack and tie him up and interrogate him about what Lotso did to Buzz and how to return him to normal by ripping his clothes; he succumbs and tells her about the instruction manual and that Buzz was switched to Demo mode when she threatens to rip his prized Nehru jacket. She later takes a stand with Woody and the other toys against Lotso, impressing them with her articulate arguments. She and Ken reunite when he confesses his love and defects to Woody's side, claiming Barbie is not just one of "a hundred million" as Lotso says, but unique and special to him. Barbie is the only one of Andy's toys not involved in the adventure at the dump, and she, Big Baby, and Ken later take over Sunnyside Daycare and reform it from a prison to a loving, welcoming family; she and the other Sunnyside toys maintain contact with Andy's other toys (whom he passed on to Bonnie) by slipping notes into Bonnie's backpack. Barbie has a cameo appearance in Toy Story 4 during the flashback scene in Molly's room, in which she and two other Barbies help save RC. She also appears with Ken visiting Woody's toys in Hawaiian Vacation.
Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (often shortened to Lotso) (voiced by Ned Beatty) is a plush, pink, strawberry-scented Southern-accentedteddy bear. He is the main antagonist of the third film. He has a limp from falling off a truck in early years, and uses a wooden toy mallet as an assistive cane (although he is still able to walk without it). Lotso is the supreme ruler of the toys at the Sunnyside Daycare, and initially acts like a kindhearted and wise caretaker, but is eventually revealed to be a ruthless, cruel, selfish, aggressive, unkind, and deceptive prison warden. Lotso, Big Baby, and Chuckles once belonged to a little girl named Daisy, whom Lotso adored. When Daisy fell asleep and accidentally left them at a rest stop, Lotso led the toys on a long journey home, only to discover that Daisy's parents had replaced him with a duplicate. Embittered beyond the point of insanity, Lotso lied to Big Baby that Daisy had replaced all of them, then intimidated Chuckles who knew the truth into silence and forced them both to come with him to Sunnyside. There, he established a totalitarian rule, depriving toys of the Butterfly Room unless they earn it, forbidding them from leaving or escaping back to their owners and ensuring that the only way out is through the trash, which he believes is where all toys are destined. He often assigned new toys to the Caterpillar Room, where destructive toddlers who were too young to properly play with toys threw them and some broke while he and his henchmen reserved themselves in the Butterfly Room where they were played with properly. When Woody reveals Lotso's true character, all of Lotso's henchmen turn on him and Big Baby throws Lotso in the dumpster. Lotso, seeking revenge, pulls Woody into the dumpster, resulting in Andy's toys jumping in to save him just as the garbage truck arrives. All of them end up at the dump on a conveyor belt leading to a shredder, and then an incinerator. Lotso, getting free with Woody and Buzz's help, reaches an emergency stop button, but decides at the last minute to leave the other toys to be burned so that they can't return to Andy. However, his final plot failed at the last second as Andy's toys are saved by the Aliens using a giant claw. Hamm and Slinky wish to get revenge on Lotso for his betrayal, but Woody convinces them he isn't worth it, feeling that the dump is where he belongs. Lotso, meanwhile, attempts to escape from the dump, but a garbage man (who had owned a Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear during his childhood) finds Lotso and straps him to the grill of his truck as a decoration. Lotso most likely sees Woody and his friends alive on the side of the road, which makes him realize he has failed in preventing them from returning to their owner. Lotso was intended to be in the first film,[54] but the technology to represent realistic fur was not available until Monsters, Inc.[55] An early version of Lotso makes a brief appearance in the first film,[56] and can be seen in the second film during the first Al's Toy Barn commercial. A Lotso bear also makes a cameo appearance in Pixar's film Up.[56] Ned Beatty was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain for his performance as Lotso, and IGN named Lotso the best villain of the summer of 2010.[57]
Kenneth "Ken" Carlson (voiced by Michael Keaton) is a smooth-talking doll, who falls in love with Barbie at first sight. He lives in Ken's Dreamhouse, a big yellow dollhouse with three stories, a large wardrobe room, and an elevator. His appearance is based on a real MattelKen doll from 1988 called Animal Lovin' Ken.[56] Ken serves as a supporting antagonist for most of the third film, but later reforms. He was originally one of Lotso's henchmen, which caused a temporary strain in his relationship with Barbie. He later turns on Lotso after understanding of his true nature and encourages Lotso's crew to do the same. After Lotso's defeat, he and Barbie renew their relationship and become the new leaders of Sunnyside's toy population, keeping in touch with Bonnie's toys through letters sent home in Bonnie's backpack. He and Barbie later come to visit Bonnie's House in Hawaiian Vacation.
Big Baby (voiced by Woody Smith) is a baby doll with a lazy eye who carries around a bottle and is adorned with childlike scribbling that resembles ferocious tattoos. He is a supporting antagonist for most of the third film, but later reforms. As a sentient toy, he has the biological traits of a human infant. He normally does not speak, instead communicating through baby sounds, with the exception of one spoken line ("Mama") after the toys escape Sunnyside. He acts as Lotso's assistant and enforcer, who helps guide the new toys around, and punishes them when they misbehave. He, Lotso and Chuckles were all once owned by Daisy before they were left behind. When Lotso found Daisy had replaced him, he lied to Big Baby and Chuckles, telling them that they were replaced, too. They traveled to Sunnyside, and took it over. Once Woody revealed Lotso's true nature, Big Baby realized that Lotso lied to him and throws Lotso in the dumpster. He then helps Ken and Barbie reform Sunnyside, and is last seen wearing a new outfit matching one of Ken's. The baby who provided the voice for Big Baby is named "Woody", according to director Lee Unkrich,[58] and the film's credits list him as Woody Smith.
Twitch (voiced by John Cygan) is a green insect action figure with a bug's head, chomping mandibles, wings, and two muscular arms. He is a supporting antagonist, but later reforms. He serves as one of the toy thugs working for Lotso, and helps to reprogram Buzz and apprehend Andy's other toys. He also operates a searchlight in the playground to look out for escaped toys. He later turns against Lotso after learning of his true nature. During the credits, he is seen living in a happier Sunnyside and is shown taking a turn to endure playtime with the young children in the Caterpillar Room, switching with Chunk so he can rest.
Stretch (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg) is a purple toy rubber octopus. She is the only female member of Lotso's gang, and at first welcomes Andy's toys, but later helps capture them with her elastic arms. After they escape, she traps them near the edge of a garbage chute and is ready to push them into the dumpster, should they not admit defeat. She is then seen visibly cringing at Lotso's true character being revealed. After understanding the true nature of Lotso, she turns on him. Eventually, Lotso angrily orders Stretch to push the toys into the dumpster, which she refuses to do. Lotso is then thrown into the dumpster by Big Baby for his lies and treachery, and Stretch immediately leaves the area. In the credits, she welcomes new toys happily and is later seen sneaking a message to Woody and his friends in Bonnie's backpack.
Chunk (voiced by Jack Angel) is an orange rock monster toy with a face that can change expressions and is one of Lotso's henchmen who eventually helps imprison Andy's toys. He later turns on Lotso after learning of his true nature. In the credits, he is seen enduring the abuse of the younger children, and later taking a rest while Twitch takes his place.
Sparks (voiced by Jan Rabson) is a blue and silver robot toy at Sunnyside Daycare and one of Lotso's henchmen. He only has one line, when he points out Chunk's low intelligence. He later turns against Lotso after learning of his true nature.
Chatter Telephone (voiced by Teddy Newton) is a character based on the real-life toy of the same name. He can only speak when his receiver is lifted from its cradle. He has been at Sunnyside for many years, and lives in a corner in the Caterpillar Room. He becomes an ally to Woody. When Woody returns to Sunnyside, Chatter Telephone says that coming back was a mistake because Lotso had since improved his security. He takes Woody to the window and explains that the trash chute is now the only way toys leave Sunnyside. Although his advice is to lay low, he reluctantly gives Woody instructions on how to escape from Sunnyside, placing particular emphasis on the importance of subduing a cymbal-banging monkey who monitors the security cameras (which Woody and Slinky accomplish). For this, he is later beaten and broken by Lotso's crew for helping the toys escape until he finally talks. He apologizes to Woody. In the credits, he has been repaired and is shown happily attending a toy party in the Butterfly Room.
Bookworm (voiced by Richard Kind) is a green toy worm with a built-in flashlight who wears glasses. He keeps a library of instruction manuals in a closet at Sunnyside, and gives Lotso the instruction manual for Buzz Lightyear. He later gives the same manual to Barbie (whom he mistakes for Ken since she is disguised in his spacesuit outfit). In the credits, he is seen happily using his flashlight to light a disco ball during a party at Sunnyside. He only has two lines in the film, Bookworm is voiced by Richard Kind, who had previously done voice work for Pixar as Molt in A Bug's Life and Van in the Cars franchise and would later voice Bing Bong in Inside Out.
The Monkey, based on the Musical Jolly Chimp toy from the 1960s, monitors the Sunnyside Daycare security cameras at night. Every time a toy tries to escape, the Monkey pushes a button that turns on the P.A. and screeches into it while banging his cymbals repeatedly, alerting Lotso and his gang like a security alarm. Chatter Telephone tells Woody that he must get rid of the Monkey before he and his friends can escape Sunnyside, as the Monkey can view cameras monitoring all areas of the daycare premises, including the playground. After an initial unsuccessful attempt to put a plastic black bag over the Monkey, Woody and Slinky manage to wrap him up in adhesive tape, and subsequently lock him in a filing cabinet. It is assumed the Monkey somehow freed himself and alerted Lotso, leading to the confrontation at the dumpster. In the credits, the Monkey is still monitoring the security cameras, but is seen happily playing his cymbals while wearing star-shaped sunglasses.
Some basic Lego minifigures. They have yellow skin and wear plain clothing in different colors.
A jack-in-the-box toy (voiced by Lee Unkrich) has two lines in the film when he greets Andy's toys, and later Zurg and a few other toys during the credits, exclaiming, "New toys!"[59]
Bonnie Anderson (voiced by in Emily Hahn in Toy Story 3, short films, television specials and Madeleine McGraw in Toy Story 4)[60] is one of the children who attends Sunnyside Daycare, where her mother is the receptionist. In Toy Story 3, Andy donates his toys to her before he leaves for college. In the short film Hawaiian Vacation, Bonnie goes on a vacation to Hawaii and leaves Barbie and Ken in her room. In Toy Story of TERROR!, she and her mother are stranded at a motel, and she later discovers the manager has been stealing her toys to sell on the internet. In The Toy Story That Time Forgot, it is revealed that Bonnie has scheduled play dates with a friend named Mason in a neighboring house. In Small Fry, Bonnie forgets Buzz in a fast-food restaurant's ball pit and does not notice that the mini-buzz has taken his place. Partysaurus Rex reveals that Bonnie has an extensive collection of bath toys, and that the regular toys fear being included in her bath time. In Toy Story 4, Bonnie creates a toy called Forky out of trash, on her first day of kindergarten.
Mrs. Anderson (voiced by Lori Alan) is Bonnie's mother,[11] the receptionist at Sunnyside Daycare, and a friend of Andy's family. In Small Fry, she takes Bonnie to a fast-food chicken restaurant named Poultry Palace and inadvertently takes the wrong Buzz Lightyear toy when they depart. In Toy Story of TERROR!, she and Bonnie stay at a motel, and she calls the police to arrest the manager when she discovers he has been stealing toys from the customers to sell them online. She also appears in Toy Story 4.
Chuckles (voiced by Bud Luckey)[61] is a brokenhearted toy clown who was once owned by Daisy (along with Lotso and Big Baby).[61] After he, Big Baby and Lotso were lost in the countryside, Chuckles lived at Sunnyside for many years before being broken and later taken home by Bonnie. He kept the pendant that Big Baby used to wear that had Daisy's name on it, and gives it to Woody, it is later destroyed by Lotso. Chuckles returns in the short film Hawaiian Vacation and he sings a Hawaiian song while playing a ukulele when Barbie and Ken get their recreated Hawaiian adventures. He also appears in Small Fry. He does not appear in the fourth film, possibly owing to Bud Luckey's retirement and death prior to the beginning of production.
Mr. Pricklepants (voiced by Timothy Dalton and Robin Atkin Downes in Forky Asks a Question) is a stuffed hedgehog. He wears lederhosen and a Tyrolean hat, and views himself as an actor. Throughout Toy Story 3, he expresses great interest in theater arts and takes role playing as a child's toy very seriously. Buttercup refers to him sarcastically as "Baron von Shush" due to his habit of shushing the other toys when they break character. During the credits, he plays Romeo in a play of Romeo and Juliet, with one of the alien toys playing Juliet.
Trixie (voiced by Kristen Schaal) is a blue toy Triceratops. She chats online with "a dinosaur toy down the street" who goes by the name "Velocistar237". During the credits, she and Rex play a game cooperatively on a computer. She is a central character in Toy Story That Time Forgot.
Buttercup (voiced by Jeff Garlin) is a stuffed white unicorn. Despite his name and appearance, he has a very gruff voice and sarcastic personality. He is the first to introduce himself to Woody when Bonnie brings him home. He later appears in the film's end credits, having befriended the similarly sardonic Hamm.
Peas-in-a-Pod (voiced by Charlie Bright, Amber Kroner, and Brianna Maiwand) are three plush green peas in a green zip-up case that looks like a pea pod. They have the personalities of small children, and their names are Peaty, Peatrice, and Peanelope. The Peas-in-a-Pod reappear in the short films Hawaiian Vacation and Small Fry, voiced by Zoe Levin. They do not appear in Toy Story 4, other than the drawing of them Bonnie had from the previous film.
Totoro is the title character from My Neighbor Totoro and the mascot of Studio Ghibli, and appears as a big plush toy. He does not speak during the film, nor is he spoken to. According to the tie-in book, The Art of Toy Story 3,[citation needed] Totoro's appearance in the film was intended as a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, who is a close friend of former Pixar executive John Lasseter.[62] 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.[63] He does not appear in Toy Story 4.
Daisy is a little girl who appears in flashbacks. She owned Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles, but accidentally left them behind at a rest area along the road. In order to pacify her, Daisy's parents bought her another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear rather than going to find Lotso and the rest of her toys, which made Lotso think he had been forgotten about, and changed him into a sinister, ruthless toy. Lotso lied to Big Baby, claiming Daisy replaced all of them, and made him come to Sunnyside and take it over. Chuckles keeps Big Baby's lost pendant, however, and it is revealed Big Baby still loves Daisy much to Lotso's dismay when he sees the pendant again.
Forky (voiced by Tony Hale) is a sentient plastic spork with googly eyes, pipe cleaner arms and tongue depressor/popsicle stick legs.[64] He was created by Bonnie, but he does not believe that he is a toy and he hates being able to come to life. He considers himself as trash, and Woody has to prevent him from throwing himself away. While considering names for the character, director Josh Cooley showed a picture of the character to his son and asked for a suggestion on the name. Cooley's son, approximately four years old at the time, suggested the name Fork Face, and Cooley later said "The fact that he's around the same age as Bonnie and didn't know what a spork was, I thought, 'That feels real to me.' So Forky felt like a kid would name him that."[65] Forky is also the titular protagonist of the series of shorts Forky Asks a Question on Disney+.[66]
Melephant Brooks (voiced by Mel Brooks), Chairol Burnett (voiced by Carol Burnett),[11]Bitey White (voiced by Betty White),[11] and Carl Reineroceros (voiced by Carl Reiner)[11] are four of Bonnie's old baby toys. They no longer get played with by Bonnie, and thus, are stashed away in her closet. Melephant is a blue elephant, Chairol is a green toddler's chair, Bitey is a teether in the form of a tiger, and Carl is a purple rhinoceros. Each toy has visible damage caused due to wear and tear, with crayon scribbles, scratches, bite marks, and paint wearing away. Each of the four toys' names are puns on their voice actors.

Duke Caboom (voiced by Keanu Reeves) is an amiable Canadian daredevil toy with a white outfit, a horseshoe mustache, and a toy motorcycle.[73][70] He suffers from low self-esteem due to believing that he let down his previous owner Rejean, unable to do the stunts that his commercial ads had promised.[74] Duke Caboom is a parody of the Evel Knievel Rally Stunt Cycle by the Ideal Toy Company.[75]
Gabby Gabby (voiced by Christina Hendricks) is a 1950s pullstring doll with a broken voicebox, the result of a manufacturing defect, who lives in Second Chance Antiques.[70] She serves as the main antagonist in the fourth film, having become bitter at being in the store for decades and not being wanted due to her broken voicebox. During her time in the store, she has become like a godfather, with a set of ventriloquist dummies as her henchmen. Woody eventually gives her his voice box in return for Forky's freedom and persuades her to place herself in a position for a lost young girl to find her and take her home. According to director Josh Cooley, Gabby was inspired by the Talky Tina doll from The Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll",[76] who in turn was inspired by the Chatty Cathy line of talking dolls. Cooley also cites Vito Corleone from The Godfather film series as an influence for Gabby's control over the dummies who served as her enforcers.[77]
The Dummies (both voiced by Steve Purcell) are non-speaking ventriloquist dummies who work as Gabby Gabby's henchmen, patrolling Second Chance Antiques.[70] Gabby Gabby's personal aide is a dummy named Benson, the one with a red bowtie.[78] The dummies are partially based on Slappy the Dummy.[79] The film's producer, Mark Nielsen, said, "The dummies are, by far, some of the creepiest characters we've ever created."[70]
Tinny is a small, music-making tin toy that is the owner of a club for antique toys hidden inside a pinball machine. Tinny is actually the main character of the 1988 Pixar short, Tin Toy.

Rejean is a boy who appears in flashbacks. Duke Caboom is given to Rejean for Christmas, but because TV toy commercials greatly exaggerated Duke's abilities, Rejean becomes disappointed that Duke cannot jump through hoops, and throws Duke away on Boxing Day, believing he is defective. When Duke Caboom and Woody are on a mission to rescue Forky and Bo Peep's sheep, Duke hallucinates an angry Rejean's head watching him, and loses control.
