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 mainToy Storymovies. 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 theToy Storyvideo games – to use as the character's lines for the fourth film.[12]According to directorJosh Cooley,an editorial team "logged every word, every cough, every hum, just so we'd know what we had".

They appear in all four films. InToy 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 ofToy Story 3a decade later. In the third film, Mr. Potato Head refers to them as his "boys", implying that all three are male. InToy Story,Buzz and Woody climb inside a giant rocket-shapedclaw gameat 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. InToy 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 ofToy 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 aChevrolet 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 inToy Story 4,albeit only in the film's first act. They appear in the filmLightyearin a mid-credit scene as a statue on Commander Burnsides shelf. The Aliens reappear in the theatrical short filmsHawaiian Vacation,Small FryandPartysaurus Rex,and the 2019 video gameKingdom Hearts III.The Aliens also have a ride at Disney theme parks calledAlien Swirling Saucers.
Jessie(voiced byJoan Cusack) is a cowgirl doll, and part of the gang. InToy 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 developclaustrophobia,due to her fear of being put in storage. When Woody tells her of Andy's sister Molly, she immediately joins the gang. InToy 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 specialToy Story of Terror!,where she saves the other toys from a toy thief and seller at the rest stop.

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 inToy Story 3as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room and has a small role inToy Story 4.Bullseye reappears in the short filmsHawaiian Vacation,Small Fry,andPartysaurus Rex.AtDisney California Adventure,Jessie and her critter friends star in acarouselride calledJessie's Critter Carousel.

He is a toy modeled after a character on the fictional television showWoody's Roundup,which also includes the characters ofWoody,Jessie,and Bullseye. The Prospector had never been opened and was stillmint 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 causingWoody's Roundupto be cancelled after the launch ofRSC 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 theMe Too movement.[50]Prospector appears inToy Story Mania!,the Disney Parks attraction ride as well as the Toy Box mode ofToy Story 3: The Video Game,[51]now voiced byStephen Stanton.

Utility Belt Buzz Lightyear(voiced byTim 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 byAndrew StantoninToy Story 2,Wayne KnightinBuzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins,Jess Harnellin a mini counterpart inSmall FryandJames BrolininLightyear) is a robotic villain action figure and Buzz'sarchenemy.He is a thinly veiledparodyofDarth Vaderfrom theStar Warsfranchise (with certain other visual elements adapted from theMarvel UKcharacterDeath'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 inToy Story 2where 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 inThe Empire Strikes Back.He is knocked down the elevator shaft by one of Andy's toys, Rex. InToy 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 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 amechasuit, 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 apost-credits scene.
Tour Guide Barbie(voiced byJodi Benson) is aBarbiedoll who gives Andy's toys a tour of Al's Toy Barn.

Al McWhiggin(nicknamed"The Chicken Man"by Andy's toys) (voiced byWayne Knight) is the owner of Al's Toy Barn and the secondary antagonist of the second film. Al is first seen inToy Story 2during 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 oldWoody's Rounduptelevision 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 thevowelsand 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 ofAsh Brannon,co-director ofToy Story 2,according to theToy Story 2: Special Editioncommentary, Al is also alluded to inToy 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 byEstelle 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 untilToy Story 2.She has a larger role inToy Story 3as 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 filmHawaiian Vacationand acts as a tour guide for Ken and Barbie in their Hawaiian adventures.

Woody says that Wheezy was one of Andy's toys who went to new owners. Wheezy appears in the Toy Box mode inToy Story 3: The Video Game.
The Cleaner(voiced byJonathan 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 portrayGeri(voiced byBob Peterson) in Pixar's short film,Geri's Game,where he plays a chess game against himself. InToy Story 2,one of the drawers in the cleaner's carrying case contains chess pieces, a reference to the short film.
Emilyis Jessie's former owner and is mentioned by her in the film. She appears in a flashback song while "When She Loved Me"bySarah McLachlanis played. As a young girl, she was a fan ofWoody's Roundupand 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. InToy 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."
Busteris Andy's petdachshund,mentioned at the end ofToy Storyas his Christmas present. InToy 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. InToy 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 Crittersare the name given to several small animal cutouts that are friends of the roundup gang. They are often seen in the showWoody's Roundupaccompanying 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.

Barbara "Barbie" Roberts(voiced byJodi Benson)[11]is aBarbiedoll 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 inToy Story 4during 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 inHawaiian Vacation.
The following toys live at the Sunnyside Daycare center:
Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear(often shortened toLotso) (voiced byNed Beatty) is a plush, pink, strawberry-scentedteddy bearwith aSouthern accent.He is the mainantagonistof the third film. He has a limp from falling off a truck in early years, and uses a wooden toymalletas anassistive 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 deceptiveprison 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 arest 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 ofinsanity,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 atotalitarianrule, 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 anincinerator.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 untilMonsters, 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 filmUp.[56]Ned Beatty was nominated for anMTV Movie Award for Best Villainfor his performance as Lotso, andIGNnamed Lotso the best villain of the summer of 2010.[57]
Kenneth "Ken" Carlson(voiced byMichael Keaton) is a smooth-talking doll, who fallsin 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 realMattelKen dollfrom 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 inHawaiian Vacation.
Big Baby(voiced by Woody Smith) is a baby doll with alazy eyewho 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 directorLee Unkrich,[58]and the film's credits list him as Woody Smith.
Other toys at Sunnyside, with smaller roles, include:
Twitch(voiced byJohn Cygan) is a green insect action figure with a bug's head, chompingmandibles,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 asearchlightin 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 byWhoopi Goldberg) is a purple toy rubberoctopus.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 byJack 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 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 byRichard Kind) is a green toywormwith 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 inA Bug's LifeandVanin theCarsfranchiseand would later voice Bing Bong inInside Out.
The Monkey,based on theMusical Jolly Chimptoy from the 1960s, monitors the Sunnyside Daycaresecurity camerasat 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 inadhesive tape,and subsequently lock him in afiling cabinet.In the credits, the Monkey is still monitoring the security cameras, but is seen happily playing hiscymbalswhile wearing star-shaped sunglasses.

When Bonnie and her mother went to sleep tight after their car got a flat tire, Mr. Jones steals a number of Bonnie's toys, including Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. Ron then takes pictures of the toys and puts them on his bidding sale, awaiting buyers. Jessie manages to trick Mr. Jones into tearing off a curtain, revealing the toys' location and Ron's scheme to Bonnie and her mother, who then calls 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.

However, due to Trixie and Reptillus's efforts he abandons the video game and plays with his new toys. He is later shown to write his name on his toys in similar fashion to Andy and Bonnie.
Battlesaursare 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 that he received for Christmas, and they become hostile to Mason's other toys and to Bonnie's when they are brought over for a playdate. However, Trixie is eventually able to convince them that being played with brings its own joy, and they happily embrace their life as toys.
Reptillus Maximus(voiced byKevin 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, feeling that to submit to the will of his child would be 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 ofToy Story That Time Forgot,it is implied that he has a crush on Trixie. Reptillus has a cameo inToy Story 4as his picture is seen on a lunchbox in Bonnie's kindergarten class.

Angel Kitty(voiced by Emma Hudak) is a cat ornament on Bonnie's christmas tree. Bonnie briefly uses Angel Kitty during playtime, portraying her as a dinosaur.
