Disney/Pixar is switching it around this week by revealing two new Toy Story 3 characters through HeyUGuys!
The appropriately named Dolly appears first! This do-it-yourself designer ragdoll might be brand new to some of you as she debuted in the new TS3 trailer for a brief moment. Bonnie Hunt lends her talent (and a long legacy of voicing Pixar characters including Sally, Rosie and Mrs. Flint) to this googly eyed cutie! The Toy Story 2 Blu-ray has more on Dolly, so definitely check it out.
Next up is a toy that needs no introduction to those who have been following Toy Story 3 news: it’s Mr. Pricklepants! Voiced by ex-007 Timothy Dalton, the plush hedgehog is seen in the same scene as Dolly in the newest trailer. Although he’s made in Germany and wears lederhosen, his character is far from how he appears. Mr. Pricklepants is just your average souvenir from Europe… that has a delightful British accent and aspires to be a thespian!
HeyUGuys.co.uk has the character, er, manufacturer’s description for both new toys posted on their site!
What do you think about Dolly; are you still lovin’ Mr. Pricklepants? I am, especially the great casting choices on both roles!

Ohh!! Bonnie Hunt as the doll works perfectly in my mind! I never get tired of hearing her cameos in Pixar films, looking forward to both of these toys a lot!
