** Creator/MarkHamill was also in contention to play Lotso. Imagine what would've been if the tyrannical teddy bear ended up sounding like [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Joker]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Ozai]], [[WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverseRevelation Skeletor]], or if [[Franchise/StarWars Luke turned to the dark side]]!

* '''[[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Lots'o]][[KnightOfCerebus -Huggin']] [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Bear]]''', as expected from an AxCrazy [[KillerTeddyBear killer]] [[KillerRabbit teddy bear]]. On the outside, he's a caring stuffed bear who looks after all the other toys at Sunnyside. On the inside, he's a {{sociopath}}ic [[StrawNihilist nihilist]] acting like a [[TheDon mob boss]] who not only doesn't give a second thought to sending new arrivals to the Caterpillar Room where they'll inevitably be used until they're ruined and sent to the dump, but is so bent on doing so that he's turned Sunnyside into a nigh-inescapable prison where he rules with an iron fist through lies, abuse, surveillance, coercion, and even [[MindRape brainwashing]] -- all for the sake of forcing his nihilistic worldview upon any toy he possibly can as a self-validating coping mechanism for the heartbreak his former owner put him through. Even Woody, after he and the others escape the incinerator, considers Lotso [[BeyondRedemption too far gone to be worth the trouble]].
** Especially compared to previous antagonists in the last films. [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 Sid was just a kid with an appetite for destruction, Scud was just an aggressive dog]], [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 Stinky Pete was just bitter about never having been played with, Al was just a greedy adult who wanted the big bucks the Woody's Roundup merchandise would give him, and Zurg was just a toy who believed he was the real thing not unlike Buzz in the first film]]. Lotso on the other hand is purely malicious and takes it out on others.

** Apparently, before Creator/NedBeatty was cast, none other than Creator/JeffBridges was considered for the voice of Lotso. Anyone who has seen ''Film/IronMan1'' knows how incredibly intimidating Bridges sounds like a villain.
** Creator/MarkHamill was also in contention to play Lotso. Imagine what would've been if the tyrannical teddy bear ended up sounding like [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Joker]] or [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Ozai]], or if [[Franchise/StarWars Luke went to the dark side]]!

* Lotso's [[TheDragon Dragon]], Big Baby. Pixar invokes the UncannyValley ''brilliantly'' with this lazy-eyed Terminator of an oversized doll.
