Voiced by:
Buzz Lightyear is a modern-day "Space Ranger" action figure, and wears a green and white space suit with various features such as retractable wings and transparent air helmet, a laser "weapon", and various sound effects. 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 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".
A 65-episode television series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, aired from 2000 to 2001, featuring Buzz as a real Space Ranger.

Bo Peep

Voiced by Annie Potts
Bo Peep is a porcelain figurine who serves as Woody's romantic interest. Bo Peep, inspired by the nursery rhyme "Little Bo-Peep", is a sweet-natured shepherdess accompanied by a single figure with three heads to resemble three sheep. 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, Bo Peep returns with a major role in Toy Story 4. The film focuses on her relationship with Woody and she has a different philosophy on what it means to be a toy. Bo Peep now wears her skirt as a cape, 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.

Mr. Potato Head

Voiced by Don Rickles
Mr. Potato Head is a sarcastic, Brooklyn-accented doll 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 several meters away 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 films. His voice actor Don Rickles had signed on for the fourth film, but died in 2017 before recording any lines. Rickles' 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' 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. 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 six lines in the film.
Mr. Potato Head also appears in the theatrical short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, and Partysaurus Rex, and appears in Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot. He is seen as an interactive Audio-Animatronic at Toy Story Midway Mania!.

Slinky Dog

Voiced by:
Slinky Dog is a toy dachshund with a metal Slinky for a body, who speaks with a southern accent. Slinky's head, feet, and tail are plastic; he has a green collar. Slinky Dog was partially redesigned for the film by Pixar artist Bud Luckey to make him more appealing as an animated character. In the opening scenes of the first and third films, Slinky is described by Andy as One-Eyed Bart's "attack dog with a built-in force field".
In Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Slinky was voiced by Jim Varney. In Toy Story 3, Slinky was re-cast due to Varney's death and has been voiced by Blake Clark ever since. His catchphrase, said in all four films, is "Golly bob howdy!".
He reappears in Hawaiian Vacation, in which he acts as a hotel porter as part of Barbie and Ken's Hawaiian adventures. He also appears in Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex. He does not speak in , silently appearing along with Jessie in one scene.
A ride called Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin opened at several Disney theme parks beginning in 2010. Slinky Dog Dash, a steel roller coaster themed to Slinky Dog, opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, on June 30, 2018.

Rex

Voiced by:
Rex is an excitable large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex. Rex suffers from anxiety, an inferiority complex and the concern that he is not scary enough. Although Rex is a toy dinosaur, he dislikes confrontation and is sensitive in nature. He is among the largest of Andy's toys. In the opening scenes of the first and third films, he is described by Andy as Woody's "dinosaur who eats force field dogs", in reference to Slinky Dog. Rex is voiced by Earl Boen in the video game .
Rex appears in each of the Toy Story movies. He appears in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at a crosswalk with the film's characters Sulley and Mike. Rex reappears in the theatrical short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, Partysaurus Rex and in the TV specials Toy Story of Terror!, and Toy Story That Time Forgot. He also appears in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, with Shawn reprising his role.

Hamm

Voiced by:
Hamm is a wisecracking realist piggy bank with 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, often being familiar with various gadgets that are shown. In the second and third films, Andy describes Hamm as Evil Dr. Pork Chop. In the third film, Evil Dr. Pork Chop has a giant pig-shaped aircraft, which he uses to rescue One-Eyed Bart and One-Eyed Betty.
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. 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 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. Hamm also makes an appearance in as the mayor in Toy Box mode. Hamm appears in the theatrical short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex, and also appears in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, with Ratzenberger reprising his role.

Sarge and the Bucket O Soldiers

Voiced by R. Lee Ermey
Sarge is the gung-ho commander of green army men who are stored in a bucket and are known as Bucket O Soldiers. These toys play a prominent role in Toy Story and more minor roles in the next two films.
They also appear in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III. A ride based on the soldiers, called Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, is located at Disney theme parks in France and Hong Kong.

RC

RC is Andy's. It has a green body with blue splash decals on the front. RC cannot speak, instead communicating with revving sounds, which Mr. Potato Head and the other toys can understand regardless. RC is a playable character in Toy Story Racer. RC plays a major role in Toy Story, a very minor role in Toy Story 2 and has a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4.
RC Racer, a roller coaster ride at several Disney theme parks, features RC transporting riders.

Andy's other toys

Andy has several toys who make brief appearances as minor characters:

Andy Davis

Voiced by:
Andy Davis is the owner of Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys in the first three films. He lives with his mother and younger sister Molly until the third film, when he goes to college after turning 17. His father is never seen or mentioned in any of the films, leaving any whereabouts of him unknown. 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.
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.
The physical appearance of Andy differs slightly between each of the films due to advances in animation technology.

Mrs. Davis

Voiced by Laurie Metcalf
Mrs. Davis is Andy and Molly's mother. In the first film, she has brown hair and she ties it into a ponytail. In the other two films, her physical appearance is noticeably different and instead of brown, she has blonde hair and leaves it down. Mrs. Davis is presented as a loving mother to Andy and Molly, but is a major threat to the toys. Mrs. Davis' actions regarding the toys sets the plot in motion in the 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 tells 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 deciding to have Andy donate his toys to Bonnie, thus giving them a new lease on their lives.
In 2014, blogger Jon Negroni theorized that Mrs. Davis is Jessie's original owner, [|Emily], based on the flashback sequence of Jessie and Emily from Toy Story 2. The sequence shows Emily as a child in the 1960s, which is when Mrs. Davis would have been a child. The sequence also shows that the cowboy hat that Emily had is very similar to Andy's hat but with an additional white lace area, and Emily's hair was brown, just like Mrs. Davis's hair in the first film. However while sharing the same colour, the hats are in fact different shapes reflecting the hats worn by their favourite toy.

Molly Davis

Voiced by:
Molly Davis is Andy's younger sister, seen as an infant 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, young Molly was voiced by co-director Lee Unkrich's daughter, Hannah Unkrich. He later re-used the recordings of his daughter to portray young Molly during old home video scenes at the beginning of Toy Story 3.

Phillips family

Sid Phillips

Voiced by Erik von Detten
Sid Phillips is Andy's neighbor until Andy moves, 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, have missing pieces, 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 he was consistently kicked out of summer camp; and in the audio commentary on the tenth 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. Sid has a dog named Scud.
He is the only human in the films to observe 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 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 new toy doll, Sally.
Sid does not appear in the second film, although he is mentioned 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.
In the third film, Sid makes brief appearances in two scenes once again voiced by Erik von Detten. He is shown to be a bearded garbageman recognizable by his characteristic skull T-shirt. His only dialogue in this movie involves humming guitar riffs, and he is depicted listening to heavy metal music through a pair of large headphones.

Hannah Phillips

Voiced by Sarah Freeman
Hannah Phillips 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.

Sid and Hannah's toys

The following toys belong to Sid and Hannah.
Hannah has several dolls, although some have been beheaded by Sid. During the film, one of Hannah's rag dolls, Janie, is taken by Sid, who switches her head with that of a toy Pteranodon. Hannah also has a rag doll named Sally.
Sid has various mutant toys who are assembled by him from mixed pieces of several toys that belong to him and Hannah. Sid's mutant toys do not speak, but they understand Morse code. Buzz and Woody initially think that they are cannibals who are going to eat them, before they learn that the toys are actually friendly and compassionate. They fix Buzz's broken arm, Janie and the Pteranodon, and also help Woody implement his plan to save Buzz from Sid. They surround Sid as Woody tells him how much they hate being mutilated, and they all rejoice in victory after Woody frightens Sid away with his own voice. After Sid is scared by his toys, he sees Sally, then runs off in fright, thinking that Sally will come to life. Sid's mutant toys include:
Additionally, Sid has a non-mutant soldier toy called, 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!

Scud

Scud is Sid's aggressive Bull Terrier who enjoys helping his owner torture toys for fun by chewing them up to break every part for him. His viciousness is first demonstrated when Sid sets a squeeze toy Alien on his nose and commands him to maul it mercilessly. Scud is an obstacle for Woody and Buzz as they try to escape Sid's house. Later, Scud prevents Woody and Buzz from trying to reach the moving van to reunite with Andy, since he didn’t know that Sid was scared when the toys came alive. Scud chases the toys, but they escape when Scud chases them into the middle of a traffic intersection, where he is trapped by the cars as they crash while trying to avoid him.

Aliens / Little Green Men

Voiced by:
The Aliens, also known as Little Green Men in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television series, are a series of green, three-eyed 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 Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head. In the third film, Mr. Potato Head refers to them as "my 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 goes over to the claw game and wins one of the aliens, then spots Buzz inside the claw game and tries to win him. 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 movie, the same Alien, now damaged, walks like a zombie toward Sid, 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 in the first film. 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 movie, they frequently say "You have saved our lives, we are eternally grateful," much to 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, 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 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. Mr. Potato Head finally acknowledges them as his children, reciting their repetitive line, "You have saved our lives and we are eternally grateful." The trio are later donated to Bonnie along with Andy's other toys.
They also appear in Toy Story 4.
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.

''Woody's Roundup'' gang

Jessie

Voiced by Joan Cusack
Jessie is a cowgirl doll, and part of the Woody's Roundup gang. In Toy Story 2, Jessie is initially hesitant to join Woody to become one of Andy's toys. After she becomes part of the family, she is very happy. In Toy Story 3, she believes Andy threw her and the other toys out; she argues with Woody, who says Andy was actually putting them in the attic. 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 also appears in Pixar's 2013 television special Toy Story of Terror! as the main character that saves the other toys from the toy stealer and seller at the rest stop.

Bullseye

Bullseye is a toy horse and is part of the Woody's Roundup collection. In the fictional Woody's Roundup television series, Bullseye is portrayed as Woody's horse. In Toy Story 2, he was very 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's room, 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 clear speech but sounds like an actual horse and uses body language to speak.
Bullseye returns in Toy Story 3 as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room and is still Woody's horse. Bullseye reappears in the short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, and Partysaurus Rex.

Stinky Pete the Prospector

Voiced by Kelsey Grammer
Stinky Pete the Prospector, commonly known as Prospector, is a prospector doll introduced in Toy Story 2. He is modeled after a character on the fictional television show, Woody's Roundup, which also includes the characters of Sheriff Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye. In the film, he is in a box designed for him to be sold in that had never been opened, making him still "mint in the box".
In contrast to the character on the show, Prospector is intelligent, manipulative, and well-spoken. Prospector mentions that he had spent "a lifetime on a dime store shelf watching every other toy be sold." Prospector openly expresses his hatred for space toys like Buzz Lightyear, whom he blames for causing Woody's Roundup to be canceled after the launch of Sputnik, which made children all over America lose their interest in cowboy toys, shifting their interest to space adventures instead. According to his box, Prospector has a total of 9 sayings. In one outtake, 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.

In the end credits of Toy Story 3, he and Barbie greet the new toys at Sunnyside as Barbie becomes his girlfriend again. Ken and Barbie appear in the theatrical short, Hawaiian Vacation.

Big Baby

Voiced by Woody Smith
Big Baby is a baby doll with a lazy eye who carries around a bottle and is adorned with childlike scribbling that resembles ferocious tattoos. He normally does not speak, instead communicating through baby sounds, with the exception of one spoken line after the toys escape Sunnyside. He acts as Lotso's assistant and helps guide the new toys around and punishes them when they step out of line. He, Lotso and Chuckles were all owned by [|Daisy] until they were lost in the countryside. They made their own way home, but Lotso saw that Daisy's parents had replaced him. Lotso's personality changed, and he lied to Big Baby telling him that he was replaced too, and they went to Sunnyside, where Lotso took over and acted as a prison warden. Big Baby later realized Lotso lied to him, after Woody returned to save his friends and brought up Daisy when confronted by Lotso after escaping. After Lotso destroyed the tag bearing their previous owner's name, Big Baby threw Lotso into the dumpster, while Lotso's henchmen watched. Lotso was then picked up by the garbage truck and driven to the landfill, making Sunnyside peaceful again.
The baby who provided the voice for Big Baby is named "Woody," according to director Lee Unkrich, and the film's credits list him as Woody Smith.

Bonnie's family

Bonnie

Voiced by:
Bonnie is one of the children who attends Sunnyside Daycare, where her mother is the receptionist. She became the owner of Woody, Buzz and the other toys at the end of the film. In the short film Hawaiian Vacation, Bonnie goes on a vacation to Hawaii and leaves Barbie and Ken in her room. Bonnie also appears in the television specials Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot. In Toy Story 4, Bonnie has created a toy called Forky.

Bonnie's mom

Voiced by Lori Alan
Bonnie's mom is 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.

Bonnie's toys

Bonnie has several toys:
Trixie, Dolly, Buttercup, and Mr. Pricklepants return in Toy Story 4 and the short films. Trixie and Mr. Pricklepants also return in the television specials.

Daisy

Daisy is a little girl who appears in flashbacks. She initially owned Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles, with Lotso being her absolute favorite, of which partially was how he developed a very strong bond with her. However, one day when she took the three toys with her on a family road trip, Daisy fell asleep when she and her family made a rest stop along the road, and because of this, Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles were accidentally left behind by them. In order to pacify her, Daisy's parents bought her another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear rather than going to look for Lotso and her other two toys, making it look like that she had replaced and forgotten about Lotso. As such, this was what changed Lotso into a sinister, ruthless toy. Chuckles held onto a tag bearing Daisy's name that was once worn by Big Baby. He gives the tag to Woody, and it is later destroyed by Lotso near the film's climax.

Forky

Voiced by Tony Hale
Forky is a sentient spork with googly eyes and pipe cleaner arms. He was created by Bonnie, but he believes he is trash and not a toy and he hates being alive.
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."

Karen Beverly

Voiced by Christina Hendricks

She has become bitter at being in the store for over 60 years and not being wanted due to her broken voice box. During her time in the store, she has become like a godfather, having amassed a set of ventriloquist dummies to do her bidding. 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", 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.
