** Urges Gabby Gabby to instead be owned by another possible human after her initial ideal owner Harmony rejected her in ''Toy Story 4''.

SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The "Manly Man" to Woody's "Sensitive Guy".

** Selfishness. In the first two films, Woody often focused on himself, which was a major contribution to his need for CharacterDevelopment. First, because he couldn't accept Buzz becoming Andy's favorite toy, he quickly grew jealous towards Buzz and acted very rude and angry towards him. Second, after being abducted by Al McWhiggin , Woody considers going to Japan with Jessie, Bullseye and Stinky Pete out of fear that Andy won't want to play with him anymore. As Buzz points out, it contradicts Woody's earlier statement that toys are meant to be played and loved by children. By the time ''Toy Story 3'' has come out, Woody has learned to let go of his selfishness.

** By ''Toy Story 4'', he's essentially Forky's 'father', having provided the items Bonnie used to create him. A major part of the first third of the movie is Woody teaching Forky about the world and helping him accept his new role as a toy.

** Urges Gabby Gabby to find another owner after her initially ideal one Harmony rejected her in ''Toy Story 4''.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy (despite being a coward often and having a floppy stature) to Buzz's manly man.

%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Buzz becomes the Sensitive Guy to Woody's manly man after Jessie arrives.

** Indirectly convinces Buzz fully (through a commercial) that he is a toy himself, albeit with the unfortunate consequence of depression. However, Woody would nonetheless make Buzz cheer up again for being a "cool toy", making the latter accepting the reality of who he really is more.

** Gives Gabby Gabby another chance to find another human owner after Harmony rejected her in ''Toy Story 4''.

* TragicHero: Due to the loss of her original owner Emily, she initially felt deeply depressed in her first appearance.

* TragicAbandonedToy: Jessie might be one of the most iconic examples in fiction. She was her owner Emily's favorite toy until the girl grew out of her cowgirl phase and started getting into makeup and fashion. She forgot about Jessie and left her under the bed for many years, eventually giving her to a donation center. Because of this, Jessie has severe abandonment issues in the present.
-->You never forget kids like Emily or Andy...but they forget ''you''.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Mr. Potato Head appear to be best friends.

* TheSmartGuy: Knows the most about the world outside Andy's room and is chock-full of random but useful factoids. This is especially shown when the toys are driving the Pizza Planet truck to chase Al to the airport, and we briefly cut to Hamm reading the owner's manual and exhibiting doubt about the printed miles-per-gallon figures. This doubles as an ActorAllusion considering John Ratzenberger's role as Cliff on ''Cheers''.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Mr. Potato Head. At least in ''1'' and ''2'', and later with Buttercup.

A Southern-accented plastic dog with leather ears and a slinky in the center of his body. He is very loyal to Woody, and risked himself to help the duo into the back of the moving truck. In ''Toy Story 2'' he is part of Buzz's rescue team.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Curiously, his InUniverseNickname is "Slinky" or "Slink" which describes his toy midsection. Outside however, all of the merchandise, art books, director interviews and even the film's credits addresses him as "Slinky '''Dog'''".

* FurryConfusion: He is a toy dog, in a series where major characters include an "actual" dog and [[AllAnimalsAreDogs a toy horse who acts like a dog]]... yeah, it is a little strange. Compounding things, he also SpeaksFluentAnimal with the aforementioned actual dog.

* MeaningfulName: Slinky is a toy dachshund that possesses a wooden front and hindquarters with a very stretchable metal slinky as his middle (hence his name).

* OlderThanTheyLook: Slinky's age was never brought up until the third film, in which he identifies himself as an "old dog".

A potato-shaped toy made by Creator/{{Hasbro}}, whose removable facial features can be stored inside his body. He is short tempered and is the first to turn against Woody, when he thought he had pushed Buzz out the window. For Christmas, Andy's sister, Molly, gets a Mrs. Potato Head. In ''Toy Story 2'' Potato Head is part of Buzz’s rescue team. He later saves the lives of three squeeze toy aliens which to his initial dismay, his wife adopts.

* ButtMonkey: He is constantly on the receiving end of slapstick. Especially in the third movie where he loses his body and has to use a tortilla, only for a pigeon to tear it up, and to attach himself to a cucumber before finding his potato body again.

* DemotedToExtra: He is not featured much in ''Toy Story 4'', due to the limitations induced by the use of recordings of the late Don Rickles instead of having another voice actor do his lines.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is openly antagonistic towards Woody in the first movie and is usually the first to question his leadership, but mellows out after being proven wrong about him...and getting married. And adopting three kids.

Three-eyed rubber squeeze toys first seen at Pizza Planet in a claw game. They worshipped the claw, which they dreamed would choose them. Three more aliens are found in the Pizza Planet truck in ''Toy Story 2'', and they were taken back to Andy's room and were adopted by the Potato Heads.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though they may be goofy, clumsy comic reliefs, they successfully [[spoiler:commander a giant claw to save all of Andy's toys from the incinerator.]]
* DemotedToExtra: After being supporting characters in the previous three films, they only appear in the first twenty minutes of ''Toy Story 4'' and are not taken by Bonnie during the family's vacation.

Bullseye is Woody's horse from the show ''[[ShowWithinAShow Woody's Roundup]]'', though this particular Bullseye toy is Jessie's if he is anybody's. He cannot talk and has the personality of a big puppy dog.

* GentleGiant: Not as tall compared Woody nor gentle compared with Rex, but when he stands on two of his legs, he is definitely the gentle giant himself.

* TheSpeechless: He doesn't speak at all besides some grunts.

* BrainsAndBrawn: He's the brains to Buzz's brawn. While Buzz isn't stupid ([[TookALevelInDumbass at least unit the fourth film)]], he's a bit more naive, but nevertheless more combat capable. Woody is depicted as the more level-headed and strategic of the two.

Bo Peep is a lamp's porcelain doll from the lamp, was given to ​Molly, Andy's sister. She is inspired by the well-known nursery rhyme character who takes care of three lambs.

Bo Peep has feelings for ​Woody and consistently remains kind-hearted and optimistic. She often serves as the voice of logic in Andy's Room. Eventually, she gets donated and finds herself at the Second Chance antique shop. However, she decides to leave and ventures out on her own. Woody encounters her again, discovering that she has managed to survive and thrive without needing to belong to a child anymore. The essence of the original information remains intact.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He gets an instant crush on the FieryRedhead Jessie.

* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: When the toys think Woody has murdered Buzz out of jealousy. Though it is implied he wanted to save Woody but ended up leaving out of peer pressure and fear that the others were right.

* ContraltoOfDanger: In ''4'', she speaks with a noticeably deeper voice, befitting her new [[TomboyishnessUpgrade tougher personality]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: She was originally to join Buzz and the gang on the road in ''2'', but was kept out of the adventure due to her being porcelain and fragile. It takes a darker route when a major reason she was not in ''3'' was due to being a porcelain lamp figurine, who would not last long in the aging Andy's toy collection or in Molly's room, who grew up too fast. There’s also the fact that she would’ve melted in seconds at the incinerator, if she hadn't already been destroyed in the caterpillar room. The fourth film shows those concerns had some validity when Woody accidentally pops off her arm, showing that they aren't as sturdy as they used to be, but she's not as concerned about it.

* BrokenBird: She has major abandonment issues stemming from her previous owner Emily forgetting about her as she grew up.

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: His issue in the first film, where he believes he actually ''is'' the space super hero he is based off of. While the other toys initially allow to him to believe his fantasies because they're so enamored by his coolness, Woody, partly from jealous of Buzz stealing his spotlight, refuses to entertain the notion and attempts to convince Buzz that he's just a toy throughout the movie. The second film reveals that this extends to ''all'' Buzz Lightyear toys, and [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental material]] further explains that while toys in general do not normally have this problem, ''space'' toys all do.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: In ''Toy Story 4''. After spending the first two movies being a demure ProperLady, she starts wearing pants and is also more tough and adventurous, though her pants are actually the undergarments she wore under her shepherdess dress.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"[[CatchPhrase There's a snake in my boot!]]"'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}: Being merch from a [[ShowWithinAShow TV series]], he has several like "Hey, howdy, hey!", "There's a snake in my boot!" or "Somebody poisoned the water hole!". These only sound when somebody pulls his string -- the "sentient" Woody only uses the first phrase once in the second film and once in the fourth, and never uses the other two.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[CatchPhrase To infinity and beyond!]]"'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "To Infinity... and BEYOND!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Golly bob howdy!"

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* AffectionateNickname: Woody addresses her as "Jess" in 2, 3 and even the "Of Terror!" halloween special.
