I made a collage of some good pups

People think I’ve copy pasted the characters, but they don’t know the actual effort I put in to replicate the shows’ styles :( I drew this and I’m especially proud of Slinky from Toy Story

I couldn’t for the love of anything draw Blue and Bluey properly tho

Great Shape Barbie was a 1983 release capitalizing on the aerobics craze of the time. Decked out in a blue and pink body suit, and with accessories including a gym bag, Barbie (and the associated Great Shape Skipper and Great Shape Ken) were ready to start sweating.

The release had an affiliated playset, the Barbie Workout Centre. This came with lockers with doors that opened, and two pieces of gym equipment.

All in all, Great Shape Barbie was a nice design but not particularly remarkable to me personally... until Pixar's Toy Story 3 came out in 2010.

For the most part, the designs are close enough that it is extremely apparent that Toy Story 3's Barbie was clearly meant to be a Great Shape Barbie. The biggest difference that I can see is that Barbie in the movie doesn't have a sweatband around her head (though this could have been lost over the years) and she is wearing a pink belt with a buckle rather than one with a bow.

So if you were ever wondering whether Pixar had historically accurate dolls - here is your answer!

What he says: im fine

What he means: in Toy Story 2 Woody is treated as the rarest of the toys from Woody’s Roundup when he’s the main character of the show. That would mean he would have had a higher production number than any of his costars, and in fact probably would have been made for the longest and earliest of the toy line. Stinky Pete, by being the fan unfavorite, must have had a smaller run, and less of his toys would have survived in the 50s as kids would have needlessly damaged or destroyed him making him the rarest of the group and Woody the most common. If anything, the plot of Toy Story 2 should have revolved around Al stealing Woody’s hat as it would have been the item most sought after by collectors as it’s easily lost and not attached to an otherwise common doll. Fundamentally, Al’s apartment should have been littered with Woody dolls in various states of damage, all missing hats and maybe a handful of decent condition Woody dolls needing a hat while Stinky Pete is the rarest and most expensive as a collectors item.

@everyone saying Woody was a limited run or some shit like….. y’all telling me the character that got onto the cover of time magazine and had all this fucking merch didn’t saturate the market with Woody dolls? In the 50s at the height of capitalism and the baby boom???

real life be like:

Your error is in assuming that Woody is rare because few Woody dolls were made. Not the case: Many Woody dolls were made- and because of their popularity they were sold and played-with until they were wrecked and - this being the 50s - thrown out. That plastic Woody you’ve got there will outlast most civilizations: but our Woody? With his cloth body and its aging 1950s fabric? By the 80s most of those would be a wreck: cloth-body stuffed toys have a very short shelf-life once they’re out in the world. Store a Woody in the attic for ten years and the mice get him, or the mold, or the simple weight of time loosens the bindings and makes his limbs unravel. And the voice box? With an in-tact, still functional draw strings? Do oyou know how often those things jam? Woody is unique because he seems to have belonged to a family that takes unusually good care of their toys, going so far as to fix them. Toy from the 50s are not in any way shape or form equivalent to modern full-plastic toys or even BEanie Babies, which were sold primarily with a view to the long-term collectors market. There is absolutely nothing weird or strange in a Woody doll surviving in such good quality to 1999 being notable: his popularity and high production rate has zero impact on the toy’s long-term survivability. (Indeed, that high production rate could have even introduced a lot more manufacturing defects into shipped Woody dolls, creating an overall decline in quality.) Just because it saturated the market is no indication of longevity. Yes, Al sure has a lot of Woody stuff - and most of that is very rare. For a good comparison point hop over to ebay and start looking for vintage, no-package Howdy Doody dolls from the 1950s - not the 70s re-releases with 70s materials but the 50s ones. Start judging the quality: the faded fabrics, the dirt, the smudges, the dinginess, and you’ll begin to see why Al freaked out so much: he didn’t just just find a Woody with a hat, he found a Woody who was clean - with no chipping on the hand-painted face, whose hand-stitched hat hadn’t lost its stitching, whose arm break could be repaired by a master who knew what they were doing. A hundred thousand Woodys might have been made in the 50s - but the number that survived to the present day, out-of-box, out of the hands of collectors, in good enough shape to be polished-up into museum-quality condition?I Al found the treasure of a lifetime.

[Fun fact: according to the wiki, Woody’s full name is Woody Pride.]

^ me dropping everything to learn more about the intricacies of the Toy Story universe

And assuming that ALL of the Woody’s Roundup dolls were made in the same amounts of mass production simply because 1950s marketing didn’t have the same predictive abilities that we do today when it comes to popular children’s media and toys we can’t assume that the Stinky Pete doll is rare at all. If there were 100 shipments of each Woody’s Roundup doll specifically and children had parents that had to choose only one doll at a time or even one doll period I would bet at least more often or not the male demographic would choose the Woody doll most, then the female demographic would choose between Jessie and Bullseye with Stinky Pete being sold the least. Once the show and toys grew in popularity the company would be tracking the doll’s popularity and make more offshoot merchandise of their highest selling doll and plaster Woody’s face on nearly everything.

The only reason why Al doesn’t have a room full of unsold Stinky Pete dolls is because he only needed ONE of each poduct for his collection. There’s probably tons of Stinky Pete dolls in mint or near mint condition because nobody ever bothered to buy him. Woody on the other hand would have probably been pulled out of the box in the parking lot to give to his respective child before they even drove home. I’m also working under the assumption that Al’s collection of toys is timestamped as well. After all a holographic Charizard isn’t exactly a rare card if you consider the near 30 years worth of card iterations being released but a FIRST EDITION is undeniably a highly sought relic. So there could possibly be more Woody dolls iterations that came out a handful of times but none of them would hold a candle to the value of the OG.

The only reason Woody is so rare despite being the most popular toy is because he was LOVED by children. He was played with and worn down over time and he was loved. That’s the entire point of the movie is that the love of a child is worth being damaged over being merely appreciated.

You just blew my mind.

Bo Peep’s Sheep (Billy, Goat and Gruff)

Billy, Goat and Gruff are theee conjoined porcelain sheep who appear in the Toy Story franchise, most prominently in Toy Story 4. They are from the same lamp as Bo Peep and often follow her around and aid her.

Yeah Multiversus is better than Nick All Star Brawl by a long shot
