Main
Main characters
Sheriff Woody Pride (voiced by Tom Hanks in the films and Jim Hanks in other media) is a 1950s-style pull-string cowboy doll. He is Andy's favorite toy and serves as the leader of the toy group. Woody is highly attached to his hat and becomes alarmed when it goes missing in Toy Story 2. His rivalry with Buzz Lightyear forms the basis of the first film's plot, as he resents Buzz for becoming Andy's new favorite toy.
In Toy Story 2, a toy collector named Al steals Woody from a yard sale, prompting the other toys to mount a rescue mission to Al's Toy Barn. It is revealed that Woody was the star of a fictional 1950s puppet television series titled Woody's Roundup.
In Toy Story 3, Woody and the other toys are donated to a daycare center, prompting him to lead a race to return home before Andy leaves for college. After navigating the dangers of the daycare, the toys are passed on to a four-year-old girl named Bonnie.
In Toy Story 4, Woody travels with Bo Peep, helping lost toys find owners and assisting Forky. Since this means leaving Bonnie and the rest of the toys, Woody puts Jessie in charge (pinning his Sheriff badge on her), and names his best friend Buzz Lightyear as her second-in-command.
Woody appears in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story 5, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Toy Story Treats, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror!, Toy Story That Time Forgot, and Lamp Life.
Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen in the 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) is a modern "Space Ranger" action figure. In the Toy Story films, he serves as Woody's second-in-command.
In the first film, Buzz initially believes he is a real Space Ranger and develops a rivalry with Woody. He later realizes that he is a toy, develops an existential crisis, which he overcomes, and ultimately forges an alliance with Woody.
Introduced in Toy Story
Andy's toys
Billy, Goat and Gruff (voiced by Emily Davis) are Bo Peep's three-headed sheep companions. They appear in Toy Story, Toy Story Treats, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 4, Lamp Life, and Pixar Popcorn.
Sarge, also known as Sergeant (voiced by R. Lee Ermey), is the determined commander of a group of green plastic army men collectively referred to as Bucket o' Soldiers. The soldiers are typically stored in a plastic bucket and specialize in reconnaissance missions. They play a prominent role in Toy Story and have smaller roles in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3.
The characters also appear in the video game Kingdom Hearts III. A theme park attraction based on the characters, Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, operates at Disney parks in France and Hong Kong.
RC is Andy's remote-controlled buggy, with a green body and blue splash decals. He does not speak; instead, he communicates through revving and engine sounds that some of the other toys, such as Mr. Potato Head, can understand.
RC appears in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and in flashback scenes in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4. He only appears in the end credits sequence of Toy Story 5.
Outside the films, RC appears as a playable character in the video game Toy Story Racer. The character also inspired the roller coaster RC Racer, which operates at several Disney theme parks and features riders "transported" in vehicles modeled after RC.
Andy's other toys
Rocky (voiced by Jack Angel) is a heavyweight wrestler figure. He is silent and plays a minor role in the first two films. Rocky speaks in the Disney Adventures comics and in the Disney Interactive games, Disney's Animated Storybook: Toy Story and Toy Story Activity Center. He is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game. Rocky is absent from Toy Story 3 and is no longer shown in Andy's room. His name and the logo on his championship belt are references to the Rock of Gibraltar.
Etch is an Etch A Sketch toy capable of drawing various images quickly and accurately. In the first film, it sketches a hangman's noose and shows it to Woody after the toys revolt against him for knocking Buzz out of a window. In the second film, Etch helps by sketching portraits of Woody's kidnapper and later creating a map showing the location of Al's Toy Barn. In Toy Story 3, it appears only in footage of Andy as a young boy, and Woody mentions that Etch was one of the toys donated to someone else.
Lenny (voiced by Joe Ranft) is a pair of blue wind-up binoculars used by the other toys to get a better view during various situations in the first two films. Lenny is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game and also appears in Toy Story 3 through home video footage from Andy's childhood.
The Magic 8 Ball makes brief appearances in the first three films. In the first film, Woody asks the ball whether Andy would pick him instead of Buzz Lightyear to take along to Pizza Planet, but the ball replies, "Don't Count On It", upsetting Woody. Woody shoves the ball aside, and it falls behind a desk. In Toy Story 3, a disinterested Molly tosses the ball into a donation box along with several other toys heading to Sunnyside daycare.
Mike is a Playskool tape recorder toy who helps Woody amplify his voice during a toy meeting using his attached microphone. At the end of Toy Story 2, Wheezy uses Mike as a karaoke machine.
A Farmer Says See 'n Say is one of Andy's toys in the first film. It communicates by spinning its pointer. The original pull-string variant appears in Toy Story 3, where it is used as a roulette wheel by Lotso's henchmen.
Davis family
Andrew "Andy" Davis (voiced by John Morris in the first four films, Erik von Detten in the animated storybook game, Charlie Bright in Toy Story 3, and Jack McGraw in Toy Story 4) is one of the Toy Story franchise's overarching protagonists, alongside Bonnie, and the original owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys in the first three films. He lives with his mother and 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 the 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".
According to Toy Story producer Ralph Guggenheim in a December 1995 Animation Magazine article, John Lasseter and the story team reviewed the names of Pixar employees' children to find 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.
Andy's physical appearance differs slightly across the films due to advances in animation technology.
Mrs. Davis (voiced by Laurie Metcalf) is Andy and Molly's single mother. She is portrayed as a loving parent to Andy and Molly, but also acts as an indirect threat to the toys. Her actions involving the toys help set the plot in motion in the first three films, though they are not malicious.
In the first film, she buys a Buzz Lightyear toy for Andy on his birthday, prompting the rivalry between Buzz and Woody that eventually leads to the two toys being lost and forced to find their way home. In the second film, she places Wheezy in a yard sale, prompting Woody's rescue attempt, during which Al McWhiggin steals him. In the third film, she asks Andy to clean out his room before he leaves for college and mistakenly throws away the toys he 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" when a collector, Al McWhiggin, offers to buy him at the yard sale. At the end of the third film, she becomes emotional and cries as Andy prepares to leave for college, but Andy reassures her that they will remain connected even when apart. This moment influences Woody's decision to have Andy donate the toys to Bonnie, giving them a new life.
Phillips family
Sidney "Sid" Phillips (voiced by Erik von Detten) is Andy's next-door neighbor in the first film, although it is unclear whether he and Andy know each other. Known for torturing and destroying toys, Sid serves as the film's main antagonist. Many of his toys are destroyed or have pieces missing, and are rebuilt using parts from other toys. He is also shown tormenting his sister, Hannah, and destroying her toys by blowing them up, burning them, or decapitating them. Sid enjoys skateboarding and wears a t-shirt depicting a human skull that was later used as the logo for Zero Skateboards. Andy's toys mention that Sid was repeatedly kicked out of summer camp; in the audio commentary on the 10th-anniversary DVD, the directors describe him as a bully, but also the "most creative character in the movie". His parents make only minor appearances: his mother's voice is briefly heard several times in the film, while his father is briefly seen asleep in a chair in front of a television.
Sid is the only human character in the films to witness toys actually coming to life. Near the end of the first film, Woody and Sid's mutant toys attempt to rescue Buzz by scaring Sid, leaving him terrified of toys. The final moment occurs when Woody comes to life while Sid is holding him and tells him to "play nice". Sid panics and runs back into the house, screaming, then flees to his room when his sister scares him with her doll.
Sid does not appear in the second film, although Buzz briefly mentions him 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.
In the third film, Sid makes brief cameo appearances in two scenes, with von Detten reprising his role. He is shown working as a garbage collector and has grown a small beard, though he remains recognizable by his distinctive T-shirt. His only dialogue consists of humming guitar riffs, and he is depicted listening to heavy metal music through large headphones.
Hannah Phillips (voiced by Sarah Freeman) is Sid's sweet-natured younger sister, who appears a few times in the film. Having adjusted to her toys being mutilated by Sid, most of Hannah's dolls have different heads or altered body parts. At the end of the film, she takes pleasure in scaring her brother after he is horrified by Woody and the other toys revealing their anthropomorphism. She spends most of her screen time playing with her altered dolls.
Sid and Hannah's toys
Babyface 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. She 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 her big claw. This method is used when she 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, who is 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. In 2010, the Disney Store released a remote-controlled Babyface toy.
Legs is a green 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 that she and Ducky can go to the front porch. Here, Legs lowers Ducky through the hole Ducky created so he 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's Monster-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 that replaces its legs. After the frog is let out of Sid's room to distract Scud, RollerBob ferries Woody and the other mutant toys outside of the house to Sid's yard.
Rockmobile is the head of a toy insect attached to a small, headless human torso toy who is holding a steering wheel. This torso is attached to the head socket of a larger, muscular human torso toy that is missing its legs.
Pump Boy is a yellow convertible toy car with baby doll limbs instead of wheels. It can walk very fast and climb walls. As part of the toys' rescue plan, Woody chooses Pump Boy to wind up the frog to distract Scud.
Introduced in Toy Story 2
The Roundup Gang
Stinky Pete, commonly known as the Prospector (voiced by Kelsey Grammer), is a prospector doll and one of the two main and conclusive antagonists (alongside Al McWhiggin) in Toy Story 2. He was also Buzz Lightyear's following foe after the Emperor Zurg. He is a mint in the box toy modeled after a character from the fictional 1950s children's television show Woody's Roundup, which also features Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye.
In contrast to the bumbling, optimistic character portrayed on the show, the Prospector is intelligent, ruthless, short-tempered, and well-spoken. He openly despises space-themed toys like Buzz Lightyear, whom he angrily blames for the cancellation of Woody's Roundup following the launch of the Soviet satellite 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, warning them about toys spending a lifetime on a dime-store shelf watching other toys be sold, as he did, and would not let it happen again, hence his willingness to go to Japan. After a final confrontation at the airport, Andy's toys stuff the Prospector into a backpack belonging to Amy, an artistic girl who takes him in as her new toy.
In one of the film's 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 MeToo movement.
The 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, now voiced by Stephen Stanton.
Al's Toy Barn
Ultra Buzz Lightyear, also known as Utility Belt Buzz, (voiced by Tim Allen) is a newer Buzz Lightyear toy found in the Buzz Lightyear aisle of Al's Toy Barn. He believes the original Buzz has escaped his box and captures him inside one. He is then mistaken for the original Buzz by Andy's toys and goes with them to rescue Woody, until he decides to join his father, Zurg.
Emperor Zurg (voiced by Andrew Stanton in most media, Wayne Knight in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Jess Harnell in a mini counterpart in Small Fry, James Patrick Stuart in the video game version of the third film, Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Disney Infinity, and Disney Magic Kingdoms, 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 Death's Head character from Marvel UK). He usually carries an "ion blaster" that fires plastic balls. Zurg is mentioned in the first film as the "Evil Emperor Zurg" but does not appear.
He debuts in Toy Story 2 as the secondary antagonist, where he battles with Ultra 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. Much like Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, he is unintentionally knocked down an elevator shaft by one of Andy's toys, Rex. In Toy Story 3, another Zurg appears briefly 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.
In the 2022 spin-off film Lightyear, Zurg is revealed to be Buzz Lightyear, who has traveled centuries into the future due to the effects of time dilation after having experienced faster-than-light travel. Zurg reveals that he is 50 years older than his younger counterpart and that the name "Zurg" is the sound his robot minions make when referring to him (B'Zurg), leading him to assume the identity. He controls a mecha suit and travels back in time to confront his younger self and fix a mistake he believes he made. Zurg has become consumed by regret and resentment and is obsessed with his own "mission". He has missed out entirely on life and is blind to others' experiences. In Buzz's final battle against him, he is seemingly killed, but is later revealed to be alive in a post-credits scene.
Other
Wheezy (speaking voice by Joe Ranft and by Phil LaMarr in Toy Story Mania and Toy Story 3: The Video Game and singing voice by Robert Goulet in Toy Story 2) is Andy's penguin squeeze toy 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. When Andy's mom plans to sell Wheezy at a yard sale, Woody tries to save him but gets left behind, leading to his being stolen by Al. At the end of the film, Wheezy tells Woody that the shark had an extra squeaker, allowing Wheezy to squeak normally again. Wheezy does not appear directly in Toy Story 3, except in footage of 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 in preparation for 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." Once he finishes the job, he tells Al that Woody is "for display only", while the quality of the repair overjoys Al. Visually, the Cleaner is identical to the chess player Geri from Geri's Game; the Cleaner's repair kit has a drawer full of chess pieces.
Emily is Jessie's former owner and is mentioned by her in the film. She appears in a flashback during the song "When She Loved Me" by Sarah McLachlan. As a young girl, she 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, leading Jessie to develop claustrophobia and a fear of abandonment.
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."
In Toy Story 5, a portrait of a now-adult Emily appears in an antique lunch box buried by her as a time capsule. It is then revealed in the film that Emily named her daughter in honor of her toy rag doll Jessie, showing that Jessie still has an influence on Emily's life despite donating her.
Introduced in Toy Story 3
Molly's toys
Barbara "Barbie" Roberts (voiced by Jodi Benson) is a Barbie doll who is one of the toys that Andy's sister Molly owns, until she decides to donate her to Sunnyside Daycare. She was modeled after the doll, Great Shape Barbie.
Barbie is initially upset about being donated alongside Mrs. Potato Head who cheers her up, 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 as an act of loyalty. She later tricks Ken into showing her some of his clothes, only to attack and tie him up and interrogate him by ripping his clothes to learn what Lotso did to Buzz and how to return him to normal. He succumbs when she threatens to rip his prized Nehru jacket and tells her about the instruction manual and that Buzz was switched to Demo mode. 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 deflects 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 into 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.
Sunnyside toys
Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, often shortened to Lotso, (voiced by Ned Beatty in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 3: The Video Game and Fred Tatasciore in Disney Speedstorm) is a plush, pink, strawberry-scented Southern-accented teddy bear and the main and conclusive antagonist of the third film. He has a limp from falling off a truck in his 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 and unkind 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 convinced Big Baby that Daisy had replaced all of them, ended his friendship with Chuckles, and forced them both to come with him to Sunnyside. There, he established a dictatorship, 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 to go. He often assigned new toys to the Caterpillar Room, where destructive toddlers who were too young to play with them properly were kept. Some threw them and broke them, 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. Seeking revenge, he 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 sadistically decides at the last minute to leave the other toys to be burned as a last-ditch attempt to keep them from returning to Andy. However, his final plot failed at the last second when Andy's toys were saved by the Aliens with a giant claw. Hamm and Slinky wish to get revenge on Lotso for his betrayal, but Woody convinces them he is not worth it, feeling that the dump is where he belongs. Lotso, meanwhile, attempts to escape from the dump, but a sanitation worker (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 was intended to be in the first film, but the technology to represent realistic fur was not available until Monsters, Inc. An early version of Lotso makes a brief appearance in the first film, 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.
Anderson family
Bonnie Anderson (voiced by Emily Hahn in Toy Story 3, short films, and television specials, Madeleine McGraw in Toy Story 4, and Scarlett Spears in Toy Story 5) 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 that the manager has been stealing her toys to sell online. In 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, 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 after discovering he has been stealing toys from customers to sell them online. She also appears in Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5.
Chuckles (voiced by Bud Luckey) is a brokenhearted blue-haired toy clown who was once owned by Daisy, alongside Lotso and Big Baby. 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 Big Baby used to wear, with Daisy's name on it; he later lent it to Woody, before Lotso eventually destroyed it. Chuckles returns in the short film Hawaiian Vacation, where he sings a Hawaiian song while playing a ukulele as Barbie and Ken embark on their recreated Hawaiian adventures. He does not appear in the fourth film, possibly due to Bud Luckey's retirement and death before production began.
Mr. Pricklepants (voiced by Timothy Dalton in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4, Robin Atkin Downes in Forky Asks a Question, John Hopkins in Toy Story 5) 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 sarcastically refers to him as "Baron von Shush" because he silences 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.
Introduced in Toy Story 4
Mr. Anderson
Mr. Anderson (voiced by Jay Hernandez) is Bonnie's father. He drives the family RV in Toy Story 4. He appears briefly in Toy Story 3, but does not have any lines, nor is his face clearly seen until Toy Story 4.
Bonnie's toys
Karen Beverly (voiced by Melissa Villaseñor) is a sentient plastic knife with googly eyes and pipe cleaner arms. Like Forky, she was created by Bonnie and initially considers herself trash. She appears in a mid-credits scene, in which Jessie introduces her after Bonnie's first day in first grade. Forky instantly falls in love with her. In Toy Story 5 they got married with some of the star stickers on her used as deputy badges for Woody and Buzz.
Melephant Brooks (voiced by Mel Brooks), Chairol Burnett (voiced by Carol Burnett), Bitey White (voiced by Betty White), and Carl Reineroceros (voiced by Carl Reiner) 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 from wear and tear, including crayon scribbles, scratches, bite marks, and paint wearing away. Each of the four toys' names is a pun on its voice actor (all of whom were elderly at the time of the film's production & release).
Carnival toys
Officer Giggle McDimples (voiced by Ally Maki) is a miniature toy cop who accompanies Bo Peep. She lives inside a folding compact similar in concept to Polly Pocket.
Giggle McDimples appears in Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5.
Bunny (voiced by Jordan Peele) is a blue and green stuffed bunny with purple glitter eyes, and a carnival prize who wants to be won.
Bunny appears in Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5.
Ducky (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key) is a stuffed yellow duck with pink glitter eyes and a carnival prize. He is friends with Bunny and also wants to be won.
Ducky appears in Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5.
Duke Caboom (voiced by Keanu Reeves) is an amiable Canadian daredevil toy with a white outfit, a horseshoe mustache, and a toy motorcycle. 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. Duke Caboom is a parody of the Evel Knievel Rally Stunt Cycle by the Ideal Toy Company.
Duke Caboom appears in Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5.
Second Chance Antiques
Gabby Gabby (voiced by Christina Hendricks) is a 1950s pullstring doll with a broken voice box, the result of a manufacturing defect, who lives in Second Chance Antiques. She serves as the former main antagonist of the fourth film, having become bitter at being in the store for decades and not being wanted due to her broken voice box. 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 leave herself in a place where a lost young girl can 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", 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.
The Dummies (both voiced by Steve Purcell) are non-speaking ventriloquist dummies who work as Gabby Gabby's henchmen, patrolling Second Chance Antiques. Gabby Gabby's personal aide is a dummy named Benson, the one with a red bowtie.
The dummies are partially based on Slappy the Dummy from Goosebumps.
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. Tinny was also planned to be the main protagonist of Toy Story until he was replaced by what would become the basis for Buzz Lightyear.
Margaret (voiced by June Squibb) is the owner of Second Chance Antiques.
Dragon is a gray cat who lives in Second Chance Antiques and loves to destroy all toys.
Harmony (voiced by Lila Sage Bromley) is the granddaughter of Margaret. Gabby Gabby hopes to obtain a new voice box to get Harmony's attention, but even after Woody gives Gabby his voice box, Harmony still shows no interest.
Introduced in Toy Story 5
Lilypad
Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee) is a frog-shaped high-tech tablet. An attractive device of Bonnie's, she becomes a minor and conclusive antagonist to the toys. She is loosely based on the LeapFrog line of electronics, particularly the LeapPad line of children's tablet computers. LeapFrog themselves went on to produce tie-in merchandise based on Lilypad.
Smarty Pants
Smarty Pants (voiced by Conan O'Brien) is a toilet-training tech toy placed in Blaze's old abandoned toy house. He is mostly accompanied by a sticky hand toy.

Ron (voiced by Stephen Tobolowsky) is the greedy manager of the Sleep Well Motel. He has a habit of stealing toys from customers in his motel and selling them on the Internet, with the help of his pet iguana, Mr. Jones (non-speaking character, portrayed by Dee Bradley Baker), who snatches the toys in the middle of the night. When Bonnie and her mother went to sleep after their car got a flat tire, Mr. Jones stole several of Bonnie's toys, including Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. Ron takes pictures of the toys and puts them up for sale, awaiting buyers. Jessie tricks Mr. Jones into tearing off a curtain, revealing the toys' location and Ron's scheme to Bonnie and her mother, who then call the police. Two police officers later arrive to question Ron, who attempts to escape by stealing their car, but is forced to flee on foot after immediately crashing it into the motel sign. The police officers initiate a search for him.

Toy Story That Time Forgot
Mason (voiced by R.C. Cope) is Bonnie's friend, and a post-Christmas playdate between the pair serves as the setting for the special. Mason receives a Battlesaurs toy collection for Christmas, but is distracted from it by a new video game system. However, due to Trixie and Reptillus's efforts, he abandons the video game and plays with his new toys. He is later shown writing his name on his toys in a manner similar to Andy and Bonnie.
Battlesaurs are a group of mostly humanoid dinosaur toys who initially believe themselves to be real beings rather than playthings. This illusion is encouraged by Mason's greater interest in a new video game system he received for Christmas, and they become hostile toward Mason's other toys and toward Bonnie's when they are brought over for a playdate. However, Trixie eventually convinces them that being played with brings its own joy, and they happily embrace their lives as toys.
Reptillus Maximus (voiced by Kevin McKidd) is the Champion of the Battlesaurs, who is fascinated by Trixie after meeting her. Initially, Reptillus is resistant to the idea of being a plaything, believing that submitting to his child's will would be a surrender and dishonorable. However, Trixie later helps him to see that being there for Mason is honorable, and he helps her divert Mason's attention to his new toys. Near the end of Toy Story That Time Forgot, it is implied that he has a crush on Trixie. Reptillus has a cameo in Toy Story 4 as his picture is seen on a lunchbox in Bonnie's kindergarten class.
The Cleric (voiced by Steve Purcell) is the "spiritual" leader of the Battlesaurs. The Cleric is the first Battlesaur shown to be aware of their status as toys, but conceals it from the others so that he can rule over them and Mason's other toys. However, his plans are thwarted when Reptillus sides with Trixie; he is later shown apparently enjoying his new role as Mason's toy.
Ray-Gon (voiced by Jonathan Kydd) is the armorer of the Battlesaurs. His main contribution is providing Trixie and Rex with battle armor, with the latter featuring remote-control arms that the Cleric uses to manipulate Rex.
The Goliathon is a large creature used by the other Battlesaurs to imprison their enemies in its belly.
