Woody
Sheriff Woody Pride is a 1950s traditional pullstring cowboy doll. He is Andy's favorite toy and serves as the leader of the toy group. He is also extremely proud of his hat and becomes alarmed when he discovers it's gone in Toy Story 2. His rivalry with Buzz Lightyear forms the basis of the first film's plot. In Toy Story 2, a toy collector named Al steals Woody from a yard sale, prompting the other toys to mount a rescue mission. It is revealed that he was the star of a fictional 1950s puppet television series titled Woody's Roundup. In Toy Story 3, he and the other toys are donated to a daycare center and race to return home before Andy leaves for college. Later in the film, he and the other toys are eventually passed on to a girl named Bonnie. In Toy Story 4, Woody joins Bo Peep in traveling with his new family and Forky.

Buzz Lightyear is a modern-day "Space Ranger" action figure. In the Toy Story films, he acts as Woody's second-in-command. In the first film, Buzz believes he is a real Space Ranger and develops a rivalry with Woody, who resents him for receiving more attention as the newcomer. He soon realizes that he is just a toy and becomes good friends with Woody. In Toy Story 2, Buzz, alongside Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky, goes to save Woody from Al. Buzz ends up stuck in the Buzz Lightyear aisle in Al's Toy Barn by another Buzz Lightyear toy. In Toy Story 3, he and Jessie began to develop a relationship. He is particularly affectionate when switched to "Spanish mode". Andy regards Woody and Buzz as his two favorite toys. In the third film, he contemplates which of the two should he bring to college, and ultimately chooses Woody. When passing his toys to Bonnie, he describes Buzz as "the coolest toy ever". A 65-episode television series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, aired from 2000 to 2001, featuring Buzz as a real Space Ranger. The 2022 Pixar film, Lightyear, depicts his origin story as well as a lineup of other Buzz Lightyear toys.

His catchphrase is "To infinity…AND BEYOND!"Jessie
Jessie is a cowgirl doll, and part of the gang. In Toy Story 2, Jessie is very happy to see Woody at first, but is shocked to learn that he still has an owner in Andy. She is initially hesitant to join Andy's toys due to her past experience with her owner Emily, who put her in a charity box for donations after she grew up. This also caused her to develop claustrophobia, due to her fear of being put in storage. When Woody tells her of Andy's sister Molly, she immediately joins the gang. In Toy Story 3, wrongly believing Andy threw her and the other toys out, she argues with Woody, who tells the other toys that Andy was actually putting them in the attic; none of the other toys believe this until Mrs. Potato Head sees that Andy is looking for his toys and complaining that they are missing. Later in the film, Jessie becomes close with Buzz, especially when he is in Spanish mode. At the end, they dance to the Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me". Jessie is the main protagonist in the 2013 television special Toy Story of Terror!, where she saves the other toys from a toy thief and seller at the rest stop. Jessie appears in Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot.Bo Peep
Bo Peep is a porcelain figurine and Woody's romantic interest. Bo Peep, inspired by the nursery rhyme "Little Bo-Peep", is a sweet-natured shepherdess accompanied by three sheep named Billy, Goat and Gruff. In the first film, she and her sheep are detachable components of Molly's bedside lamp. In Andy's imaginative plays, Bo Peep is used as the damsel-in-distress of his stories, and is depicted as kindhearted, gentle, and ladylike. After being given away prior to the events of Toy Story 3, in which Rex mentions that she had gone on to a new owner, Bo Peep returns with a major role in Toy Story 4. The film focuses on her relationship with Woody. Bo Peep no longer wears a skirt and her frills have been flattened out. She wears a white bandage to fix her broken right arm and a purple bandage to fix her broken left hand. She also has a different philosophy on what it means to be a toy. Bo Peep appears in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 4, and Lamp Life.Bullseye
Bullseye is an extremely loyal toy horse and is part of the collection. In the fictional Woody's Roundup television series, Bullseye is portrayed as Woody and Jessie's horse. In Toy Story 2, he was happy to finally see Woody after a long time in storage. Bullseye is shown to loathe fights as he hides in a can when Jessie jumps on Woody. He is also upset at Woody's intention to abandon the Roundup Gang to return to Andy. When Woody decides to return to Andy, it is Bullseye's loyalty that causes Woody to try to get the other Roundup toys to join him. Unlike most of the other toys, Bullseye cannot communicate in anthropomorphic speech but typically remains silent, communicating via body language and occasional sounds resembling a realistic horse. He is also brave, gentle, sweet and rather sensitive. Bullseye returns in Toy Story 3 as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room and has a small role in Toy Story 4. Bullseye reappears in the short films Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, and Partysaurus Rex. At Disney California Adventure, Jessie and her critter friends star in a carousel ride called Jessie's Critter Carousel.Slinky Dog
Slinky Dog, is a Southern-accented toy dachshund with a metal Slinky body. Slinky's body pieces, conversely, are plastic and sport articulated limbs and feet, while his ears consist of visibly-worn vinyl, suggesting that his manufacture predates most of Andy's other toys. Based on a popular toy manufactured from the 1950s to the 1970s, 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". Slinky Dog appears in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, voiced by Jim Varney. Since Toy Story 3, Slinky is now voiced by Blake Clark due to Varney's death. Slinky reappears in the short film Hawaiian Vacation, in which he acts as a hotel porter as part of Ken and Barbie's Hawaiian adventures. He also appears in Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex. He does not speak in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, silently appearing along with Jessie in one scene. A ride, 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 in 2018. Slinky Dog appears in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Toons and Pixar Popcorn.Rex
Rex is a naive, neurotic, large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex with a lot of anxiety from an inferiority complex, often expressing fear that he is not scary enough. Rex's worst fear is that Andy will get another, more intimidating dinosaur, but feels better after Buzz gives him a few pointers on how to roar more effectively. Although Rex is a toy dinosaur, he dislikes confrontation and is hypersensitive. He is also 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". When passing his toys on to Bonnie at the end of the third film, Andy describes Rex as the "meanest, most terrifying dinosaur who ever lived". Rex is voiced by Earl Boen in the video games Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue and Toy Story Racer. He appears in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at a crosswalk with the film's characters Mike and Sulley. Rex appears in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Treats, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Toons, Toy Story of Terror!, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Forky Asks a Question and Pixar Popcorn.Hamm
Hamm is a wisecracking, stylized plastic piggy bank. He has a cork in his belly in place of a stopper. He and Mr. Potato Head are friends, and are seen in the first film playing a card game, and later Battleship, which Hamm always wins. Out of all the toys, he is shown to have the most knowledge of the outside world, often being familiar with various gadgets that are shown. In the second and third films, Andy portrays Hamm as a villain known as "Evil Dr. Porkchop", who typically dons Mr. Potato Head's bowler hat. In the third film, Evil Dr. Porkchop has a giant pig-shaped aircraft, which he uses to rescue One-Eyed Bart and One-Eyed Betty. Hamm appears in each of the Toy Story films: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Toy Story Treats, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Toons, Forky Asks a Question and Pixar Popcorn. He makes an appearance in Toy Story 3: The Video Game as the mayor in Toy Box mode. In theatrical short films, Hamm is featured in Hawaiian Vacation, ''Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex, and also in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, with Ratzenberger reprising his role. In addition, he appears in the post-credit scene of Cars as part of a homage and self-parody to Ratzenberger. Hamm briefly appears in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, voiced by Andrew Stanton. In a 2010 television advertisement for the United States federal government's United States Postal Service promoting Toy Story 3,'' he wears a postal worker's outfit while promoting the Priority Mail service.
