Toys in general

• Creating Life Is Unforeseen: Most toys in the series are store-bought or factory-made, but a handmade toy can also come to life after being "assembled".
• Feel No Pain: Being made of plastic, cloth, metal and/or wood rather than skin and nerves, toys don't feel pain even when damaged. Woody screams when Stinky Pete rips his arm open in Toy Story 2, but that might have been more from shock than pain.
• Friend to All Children: In general, most toys care about making their owners and/or other children happy. Woody brings this up when trying to convince Jessie to come with him to Andy's house in Toy Story 2.
  Wouldn't you give anything to have one more day with Emily? Come on, Jessie. This is what it's all about. To make a child happy.
• Furry Confusion: A non-animal example. This world seems to have a pretty loose definition of what does and doesn't count as a Living Toy. A Bo Peep lamp decoration, a quartet of ventriloquist dummies, a remote-controlled toy car (but not Barbie's Corvette), an Etch-A-Sketch, a Speak-N-Spell, and a plastic spork with googly eyes glued onto its "face" are all considered sapient and sentient toys.
• I Just Want to Be Loved: The motivation of many lost or abandoned toys is to find an owner that will love them.
• Living Toys: But of course, for a franchise that revolves around the adventures that toys get up to when their owners aren't looking.
• Major Injury Underreaction: Toys don't feel pain like humans do. Even if they lose a body part, they can just tape, glue, sew it back on, or even reattach it to themselves. One zebra toy in Toy Story 4 has been ripped in half and is still alive.
• The Masquerade: All toys, everywhere, follow a universal rule of never revealing to humans that they're alive. The only known exception is when Sid was scared by his own toys and Woody into not destroying his own toys anymore.
• The Needless: Toys don't need food, drink, sleep, or oxygen to survive. They do need to be repaired when they get destroyed or damaged.
• Riddle for the Ages: How do toys come to life, anyway? Toy Story 4 has Woody admit that nobody In-Universe actually knows the answer, leaving it unlikely we'll ever learn it... unless you take Kingdom Hearts III as canonical to the films, which Pixar apparently does.
• Tragic Abandoned Toy: For toys, being outgrown by their child is treated as a sad inevitability and a reality of a toy's life. Some toys, like Woody, decide to enjoy the time they have with their kid and make it worth living. Others...don't take it so well.
