* BrainsAndBrawn: He's the brains to Buzz's brawn. While Buzz isn't stupid ([[TookALevelInDumbass at least until 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.

** For the third film, it's [[spoiler:Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. Woody had given concern about Andy bringing him to college, since that would mean that the other toys would be left behind, especially since they'd be kept in an attic with no play time. Once all of them toys suddenly arrived at Sunnyside Daycare, Lotso, as that institution's former head toy, tries to gaslight such situation by insisting that it occured because their owner Andy doesn't love them anymore (which isn't necessarily true), given Lotso's own developed [[StrawNihilist hateful views about toy ownership]]]].

-->[[BigWhat WHAT]]?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

* TheLeader: He has the ability to quickly devise and carry out complex plans. By the time of ''4'', he steps aside due to Dolly having that role, and gladly backs away when asked.

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

Woody is a 1950s pull-string cowboy doll. He is Andy's favorite toy, and the team leader of the main toy protagonists of the ''Toy Story'' films. He is at first jealous of newcomer Buzz, but after going through hell at Sid's house and overcoming it together they become friends for life. In ''Toy Story 2'' Woody is stolen, finds out he was the hero of the [[ShowWithinAShow TV show]] ''Woody's Roundup'' and meets his co-stars from it. ''Toy Story 3'' sees him leave the now collage-bound Andy for a new kid, and ''4'' has him reunite with Bo Peep.

* GoingNative: Buzz is an odd example, since he was technically a "native" all along, but he thinks of himself as an outsider who gets accepted into a new culture when Andy writes his name on Buzz's foot. And although "revenge is not an idea that we promote on my planet... we're not on my planet, are we?"

* HeelFaceTurn: While not a villain herself, per se, she ''did'' displayed some antagonistic traits during ''Toy Story 2'', which were revealed to be influenced by her original owner Emily. When Woody made his final decision to not go to the Japanese museum with the Roundup Gang at Al's apartment, he offers Jesse the chance to be owned by Andy, although her trust issues arise once this was brought up, but nevertheless he convinced her that it'd be like playing with her old owner Emily again. Her decision in accepting his offer slowly started to become significantly firmer once Stinky Pete revealed his true colors, and after learning about Andy's younger sister Molly, she completely accepted his offer in becoming one of Andy's new toys.

* RedIsHeroic: Wears a red bandana around his neck, which is also surrounded by his yellow shirt.

* SecondaryColorNemesis: His "suit" is white with lots of purple and green accents, with only a few dashes of red, yellow and blue. While he is not a villain, the primary-colored Woody spends most of the first movie viewing him as a threat or rival.

* CharacterCatchphrase: "Yee-''HAW!''"

%%* HeelFaceTurn: While not a villain herself, she ''did'' displayed some antagonistic traits before in ''Toy Story 2''. When Woody made his final decision to not go to the Japanese museum with the Roundup Gang at Al's apartment, he offers Jesse the chance to be owned by Andy, although her trust issues arise once this was brought up, but nevertheless he convinced her that it'd be like playing with her old owner Emily again. Her decision in accepting his offer slowly starts to become significantly firmer once Stinky Pete revealed his true colors, and after learning about Andy's younger sister Molly, she completely accepted his offer in becoming one of Andy's new toys.

* LightIsGood: Lively on the outside, morally spirited on the inside.

* DependingOnTheArtist: Whether Buzz has his wrist communicator sticker varies depending on the media: he peeled it off during his HeroicBSOD in the first movie and subsequent movies depict him lacking it as a result, but due to it being an iconic part of his design, other media like ''WesternAnimation/ToyStoryTreats'', video games (such as ''VideoGame/DisneyDreamTreats'' and ''VideoGame/DisneyMagicKingdoms'') and real-life toys directly based on him bring it back as if he never removed it to begin with.

%%* HeelFaceTurn: While not a villain herself, she ''did'' displayed some antagonistic traits before in ''Toy Story 2'', when Woody made his final decision to not go to the Japanese museum with the Roundup Gang at Al's apartment, she offers Jesse the chance to be owned by Andy, although her trust issues arised once this was brought up, but nevertheless he convinced her that it'd be like playing with her old owner Emily again, something that she willingly went through once Stinky Pete revealed his true colors and after learning about Andy's younger sister Molly.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: His scheme to knock Buzz under the desk might have worked out a bit better if he just stayed out of RC's line of sight, which resulted in him getting ratted on.

* HeelFaceTurn: A non-villainous example (even though she did displayed some antagonistic traits before). In ''Toy Story 2'', when Woody made his final decision to not go to the Japanese museum with the Roundup Gang at Al's apartment, she offers Jesse the chance to be owned by Andy, although her trust issues arised once this was brought up, but nevertheless he convinced her that it'd be like playing with her old owner Emily again, something that she willingly went through once Stinky Pete revealed his true colors and after learning about Andy's younger sister Molly.

* AlwaysSecondBest: This is the central conflict in the first film when Buzz comes along and knocks Woody off his pedestal. Sure, Andy loves Woody, but Buzz has everything Woody doesn't: a crisp voice box with multiple phrases, pop-out wings, laser lights, a retractable helmet. The fact that all the other toys are fawning over Buzz doesn't ease Woody's mind, and he grows increasingly jealous of Buzz.

** Makes Jessie move on from her old owner Emily by giving up her goal of going to Japan and becoming one of Andy's toy's (alongside Bullseye) in ''Toy Story 2''.

* HatesBeingAlone: She starts to suffer panic attacks the moment she believes someone is leaving her due to her extreme separation anxiety resulting from her original owner abandoning her.

* TragicHero: Due to the loss of her original owner Emily, she initially felt depressed in her first appearance, despite [[StepfordSmiler her external excitement]] from going to Japan (alongside Woody, Bullseye and Stinky Pete).

* 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".

* LaserGuidedKarma: Being, debatably, the first film's ''other'' antagonist, he gets his pieces sent flying towards the end. He is OK.

Rex is a plastic ''Tyrannosaurus'' toy. He has a huge inferiority complex because of his tiny arms. He constantly tries acting scary, but due to his timid nature, he can never pull it off, and constantly worries about getting replaced with a meaner dinosaur. In ''Toy Story 2'' he is seen obsessing over a Buzz Lightyear video game he can't beat. He is part of Buzz's rescue team, and when he comes face to face with Zurg, he manages to knock him down an elevator shaft. This results in Rex gaining some confidence in himself.

He is also a bit of a gamer, as he is seen playing video games in the second and third movies.
