Based on the merch/toys revealed so far, it looks like the original (Andy’s) toys, Bonnie’s toys (Dolly, Buttercup, Mr. Pricklepants, Trixie, Forky, and Karen Beverly), and Bo’s crew (her sheep, Ducky, Bunny, and Giggle) are expected to return?

No sightings of Duke Caboom or the Peas-in-a-Pod yet. But also really looking forward to the new characters.

Scrub Mommy has some new Toy Story dish sponges available. Currently Buzz and the Alien are available at Target, not sure if other retailers have it too or if it’s a Target exclusive (also likely to be on an end cap or a sidecap somewhere in the household cleaning/paper departments, not necessarily in the sponge/dish soap aisle - at my store it’s with the Ziploc bags).

From searching it looks like Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye are also coming soon, but only Walmart has listings for it. So I’m not sure if it’s a Walmart exclusive they haven’t stocked in store or online yet, or if there will be a second wave coming to Target. But given Walmart doesn’t have listings for Buzz and Alien and Target doesn’t for these three, I’m inclined to think they split the line between the two retailers with Walmart getting the Woody’s Roundup characters and Target getting the outer space characters. It’s also unclear right now if this is temporary (similar to the holiday ones that only last a month or two) or if these will be carried for a bit until Toy Story 5 has been out for a while. Also seems like the Walmart ones don’t yet have proper stock photos and whatever camera they used is awful at picking up sponge textures (haven’t seen them in-person but I’ve seen enough sponges in general throughout my life - at home, in food service, and in retail at a store that sells a lot of this brand - to be confident they won’t look like that texture - the shape looks fine but the texture looks more like a rough 3D model than a sponge, I’m actually seriously thinking these might be unrendered 3D models created in product development or for marketing and not an actual photo because of the box lighting 😂).

 

 

also interesting that these are new products but using a very old version of the Toy Story logo, that isn’t 3D and hasn’t really been used after the first film came out.
