In Toy Story 2 it is revealed that he is based on the main character from a 1950s popular TV Show, "Woody's Roundup". He is voiced by Tom Hanks in the two films and by his brother Jim Hanks on other occasions. Woody is inspired by director John Lasseter's favorite childhood toy, a pull-string Casper the Friendly Ghost talking doll.
[edit] Buzz Lightyear
Buzz is a high-tech "Space Ranger from Star Command" action figure whose arrival creates jealosy in Woody. He is voiced by Tim Allen in the films and Patrick Warburton in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television show. Buzz is inspired by John Lasseter's G.I. Joe doll and his early name was Tampas From Mars. In the credits of the 2006 film Cars Buzz was a car.

[edit] Bo Peep
Bo is a sweet and lovable porcelain shepherdess figurine. Bo Peep and her sheep are adornments of Molly's bedside lamp. She is inspired by character of popular children's nursery rhyme Little Bo-Peep. Bo is sometimes considered to be "Andy's toy", because Andy likes to make her the damsel in distress of his plays. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody. She is noted for using her shepherd's crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. She is voiced by Annie Potts.
[edit] Bo Peep's Sheep

Sarge and his troops frequently help out their fellow toys. Through them the toys discover previously what the kids are gaining of Birthday and Christmas. The voice of Sarge was played by R.

Rex is a plastic Tyrannosaurus rex with a lot of anxiety from an inferiority complex ("I don't think I could take that kind of rejection!") and he is afraid he is not scary enough. He is a video game freak and is very frustrated that he cannot beat the "Buzz Lightyear" video game. He always reaches the final boss (Zurg) but can never beat him (he thinks that his small arms are to blame, because he "cannot press the fire button and jump at the same time". It was in Toy Story 2 that Rex finds out how to beat Zurg. On their way to save Woody, the gang goes to a toy store, and in one of the stands there is a player's guide for the " Buzz Lightyear" video game. Rex reads it and is overjoyed, for he now knows how to defeat Zurg. The guide states that he needs to go "in the shadows, to the left" in order to win. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn. He has three claws per appendage instead of two. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy gains another dinosaur. In Toy Story, he stated that he was made by Mattel. Rex is probably based on the Jurrassic Park Junior T-Rex by Playskool.
[edit] Hamm
Hamm (a.k.a. "Slotted Pig") is a wise-cracking talking ceramic piggy bank who is one of the main characters in both films. His voice is performed by John Ratzenberger, best known for his role as Cliff Clavin on the sitcom Cheers, in both films; Ratzenberger will reprising his voice role as Hamm in Toy Story 3. Hamm looks to be modelled after the pink plastic Piggy Bank by Little Tikes.

He is modelled on the Linux mascot, Tux [citation needed]; a tribute made to the operating system because most if not all of Toy Story was rendered on Linux machines. Wheezy is voiced by Joe Ranft.

[edit] Rocky Gibraltar
Rocky is figure of a heavy-weight wrestler, very probably based on Wrestling Superstars collectible wrestling figures made by Hasbro. He is strongest guy in the Andy's room.

[edit] Troll
Troll isn't actually a regular character. She is just a pink-haired bikini-clad Female Troll doll with an abnormally cute face. Troll doesn't speak, she only communicated by shaking her head for yes/no questions which has been seen in Toy Story 2. Much like Bo Peep or Mrs. Potato Head, Troll is Molly's toy which stays with toys from Andy's room.

[edit] Roly Poly Clown
Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy, with a party hat and hand-painted jacket with yellow stripes with two big flowery green buttons.

Carl is Sid's G.I. Joe-type doll who's blown up by a huge M-80, when Sid first enters into scene.
[edit] Mutant Toys
The Mutant Toys are unlucky mutilated toys who live their unhappy lives in the darkest corners of Sid's room. They were built by Sid from mixed pieces of several toys, both his and Hannah's (hence the baby doll's parts). They don't talk (probably due the mutilations they suffered) and look horrifying (in fact, Woody and Buzz think they're cannibals who are going to eat them), but they actually are friendly and timid. They fix Buzz's broken arm and also help Woody realize his plan to save Buzz from the clutches of Sid.
- Babyface - the apparent leader of the mutants, he is a one-eyed Male Baby Doll head atop a spider-like body with crab-like pinchers made of erector set pieces. One way Babyface communicates with the others is by banging in Morse code on the side of Sid's metal bedpost with his big claw. Babyface lives in the shadows under Sid's bed.
- Ducky - the result of triple toy combination: a duck-headed PEZ dispenser with a baby doll torso and plunger base. He is the only one of Sid's toys that can speak in the film (only in "Quacks").
- Legs - the only female mutant toy. She is a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. She is apparently very strong, being able to hold Ducky's and Babyface's weight.
- The Frog - the speediest toy of all: a tin wind-up frog with two different wheels (left is from an erector set and right is from a monster truck) instead of legs. The Frog is missing his left hand.
- RollerBob - an Air force jet pilot action figure whose torso has been attached to a "old school" Mini-skateboard.
- Jingle Joe - another triple toy combination. He is a Combat Carl head staked on top of a Melody Push Chime toddler toy with an arm from a Mickey Mouse figure.
- Hand-in-the-box - a green rubber Frankenstein's Monster-like hand in a Jack-in-the-box casing. Communicates in hand signals.
- Rockmobile - a figure with insect head (it looks like a weird hybrid of fly and praying mantis) who sits in a headless upper torso of Rocky Gibraltar, in which is steering wheel from toy-car. Rockmobile walks on the Rocky doll's hands.
- Walking Car - a yellow 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Hot Wheels car with small baby doll arms. He can very quickly run and climb.
- The Janie Doll and Pterodactyl - Hannah's lovely Rag doll Janie and Sid's creepy toy Pterodactyl are the subjects of Sid's last "operation", called a "double bypass brain transplant" (he ripped off their heads and replaced Janie's head with a pterodactyl's). The mutant toys taped back their heads on the correct bodies. In the scene in which the toys attack Sid, Janie says "Red Rum" in a reference to The Shining (however, this could also be interpreted as merely "Mama").
Also, when Sid is attacked, there can been seen a bunch of other broken toys, including a Squeeze Toy Alien (the one Sid gave to his dog), a burned ragbaby (who repetitively utters "Mama", in a manner similar to that of a basic talking doll), a huge red Pickup truck, a handless soldier with a nail in his head, and a headless soldier with a broken leg.
It is unknown what happens to them after Woody and Buzz leave Sid's backyard.
[edit] Sally
Sally is apparently Hannah's replacement for Janie. After Sid is attacked by the toys, she offers to let him play with her, but Sid runs off in fear.
[edit] Marie Antoinette and her little sisters
Marie Antoinette and her little sisters are a bunch of headless dolls from Hannah's tea party incl. Barbie without her original legs (she has spare legs from a rag doll body), a rag doll in violet bloom dress and dark brown teddy bear.
