It will be interesting to see if they branch out more into the bad guys of T2 and T3. I would like to see them continue on with the original T1 group. Hamm, Slinky and Mrs Potato Head are must figures. Zurg and Prospector are ones I would lean to for the third wave as well.
I have bought Mr Picklepants and Dolly through the Disney online store as they had a two for $ 14 sale today. They will go next to my Totoro figure.
in all practicality, i think wave 3 will include trixie, mrs p, zurg, and hopefully a minor character.
i think a TSC rocky, robot, snake, wheezy, and lenny would be awesome but unfortunately i dont think thats what thinkways going for. just the popular characters which sucks
I think it is user edited
I guss the only way to know for sure would be to call Thinkway up and get lucky enogh to have someone that would give you a straight up answer instead of one of those generic answer there told to give the callers 
If only wave 3 happend and it included Zurg and Prospector i could die happy lol 
I’m hoping wave 3 includes a “collection” Hamm, but that it doesn’t have any unnecessary electronics, etc.
I’d be happy with the Disney Store version if it was available for a decent price down under (or if their international shipping didn’t double the purchase price), but since that’s never going to happen, I’ll have to rely on Thinkway to provide a screen-accurate Hamm to complete my Andy’s toys collection.
I’d expect it to also include a Mrs Potato Head and maybe some of Bonnie’s toys as well as Zurg and/or Stinky Pete the Prospector.
I was puting off geting Ham cause i thought my local Diseny Store would have a sale and i could get him for under $19.99
They had about 15 of them on the shelves and i tought he wasent popular enogh to fly off the shelves but i was wrong! when i went back they only had 1 ham left so i bought him right away
Its been over a mouth since i got the last Ham and they havent gotten any new hams in since 
PS Spoiler!!!
i was wondering should they still be called “Andys toys” or Bonnie’s Toys seeing that shes there new owner now lol 
“So long, partner”. 
Woody
I would actually be upset if there is a Hamm and/or Slinky. I think the DS Hamm and the regular Slinky are great. And to me, to remake those would be a waste of a spot in the TSC line-up.
But then again, at one point I thought - why on earth would I buy a $50 talking potato when there is a REAL Mr. Potato Head toy that the character is based on.
I hate to be a bubble burster, but it’s been pointed out multiple times that Thinkway approached retailers with their prototype of Hamm, and no one was willing to pick it up, so it got cancelled, which unfortunately means that Wave 3, if produced, will not likely include Hamm.
And I agree, if Hamm were to come in the Collection without all the bells and whistles, it could lower the price and make it more likely, but I think at this point, Thinkway looks at most of these toys as a way to extort money from us by saying it’s worth the higher price point for all the extra stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love the extra stuff, and I don’t mind paying the higher price for screen accurate toys, but I do understand where other people are coming from with not wanting unnecessary stuff. Unfortunately, I think that Thinkway has just decided that if it’s in the Collection, it has to have pizazz and a wow factor that the other toys don’t.
On the subject of Wave 3, I think that the line-up will consist of Zurg, Prospector, Trixie, Mrs. Potato Head, and, if we’re extremely lucky, Stretch or a joint release Totoro, similar to how Potato Head was with Playskool. If we aren’t extremely lucky, then I could see them doing Buttercup or another of Bonnie’s toys, and doing it more accurately than the Disney Store plush ones. Peas in a Pod are pretty close, but the rest could do for a higher quality treatment, even though I don’t see either of the other three warranting the $50 price tag. And while I hope against hope that this doesn’t happen, I wouldn’t be 100% surprised if they decided to release a Regular Buzz Lightyear that only speaks in Spanish, to go along with his TS3 counterpart.
My reasoning behind these is this:
Mrs. Potato Head: She makes the most sense of all these, as it would take the least amount of work to put out, and Thinkway is business that I’m sure enjoys spending as little as possible. Similar to how Belt Buzz was a rehash of Regular Buzz, the Mrs. could use the current body, and would only need new eyes, earrings on the ears, new nose, hat, and mouth, shoes, and possibly a purse. Then, they simply change the voice box with one of Estelle Harris, and voila, Mrs. Potato Head.
Prospector: They’ve already done Bullseye, Jessie, and Woody, and Prospector’s box plays a large part in TS2, so it wouldn’t make sense to not complete The Round-up Gang. They could include his pick axe to make up for the fact that he is essentially a statue with a pullstring, but I think having a few additional phrases with Kelsey Grammer’s voice would be nice.
Zurg: They made the Belt Buzz, so why not include his dad? Plus, Zurg is one of those toys that you could create a bunch of cool features on to make him worth the higher price point, like Zurg Vision, Ball Blaster, LED mouth and eyes for when he talks, and we’ve somewhat seen his box already, so they wouldn’t need to invent a new one And Zurg is one of my favorites, but that’s just my preference.
Trixie: Of the remaining new toys that haven’t had a decent attempt already, Trixie would be the one that would make the most sense in this scale. One, because they already have the design of the box from Rex. Two, She needs to be similar to Rex in order to give the appearance that they are from the same line, and since our Rex talks, it would make sense that this Trixie would talk too.
Stretch/Totoro: Stretch has yet to see a decent attempt as well, and I think that the best way to get her out would be in this line, as she is a little too large to put in the same line as Twitch, Chunk, and Sparks. On the other hand, there isn’t much they can do with a rubber octopus to make it worth the higher price point. Totoro already has a decent figure, but he is primarily available in Japan, and as such is not as accessible as if he were released here in the Collection.
Bonnie’s Remaining Toys: Buttercup seems a bit short in the current DS plush version, and the eyes kind of bug me. Pricklepants doesn’t have that imported from England feel with his current version, as his hair on his back is a cheaper faux fur, rather than the more expensive types they use in England, and his eyes are sewn on, not actual beads like in the movie. Dolly needs the most work though, as her buttons need to be real, not felt, her eyes should be googly craft eyes, not sewn on, and her overall texture needs to be a little less shiny. These things being said, I really don’t see any of these getting the Collection treatment unfortunately, as Thinkway will probably consider the current versions decent enough.
What do you guys think about this?
I recently started collecting the TSC toys and so far I have Woody, Buzz, the 3 aliens, Mr. P, Toy Soldiers, and Lotso. I haven’t been to my local TRU in about 2 weeks but they said they have never even had Rex from the TSC in… ever. I have been looking for him like crazy! I enjoy the “hunt”, so I am not going to get him online. I want to buy each of these toys from the store for quality reasons as well.
Anyways, I got Buzz for my birthday a few weeks ago. I was very excited when I got him, but I noticed one thing after finding this thread – it’s Utility Belt Buzz and he’s very different in regards to sayings versus the original TSC Buzz. My friend has the original Buzz, and i compared their sayings side by side. Not only do I think that the original has MORE sayings, I think the original has more “original” and movie sayings.
Here are the features (sayings wise) for both Buzzes.
Original Buzz
Utility belt Buzz
Overall I would say that the Original Buzz is better than the Utility Belt Buzz is both sayings and because he is the legitimate Buzz Lightyear from ALL of the movies, not just one.
Now, what I’m wondering is whether I should go and drop $50 for the original having already gotten the Utility Belt buzz as a gift? I’m not sure. I really wish I had “legit” Buzz, but that’s 50 smackaroons for about the same toy in looks (minus the belt) and different sayings.
PS - Really hoping that wave 3 thing is true. I want Zurg! I would not be surprised if they are making him, he seems like a toy Thinkway would make. Very electronics based, lots of functionality.[/u]
I’d love to buy Hamm, he would really make me feel like my collection was going somewhere if I had him. About a week or two ago I went into my local Disney Store and they didn’t have any. The only Hamm toys they had were the plush ones. There is another mall about 30 minutes away from me but I’m not sure if I want to attempt it. I might try though if my Disney Store doesn’t get it anytime soon.
I would recommend getting Woody first and foremost when beginning a TS collection, next would be Buzz and then after that…whatever you can find. 
My Buzz doesn’t do the whoosh sound…
Stretch and Totoro will not be included in the TSC because they both played small parts. Totoro wasn’t even a character, it just appeared in the background in a couple of parts.
I agree with frontierqueen that Hamm and Slinky will be a waste of a spot. Also just because their aren’t replicas of the toy it doesn’t mean the toy will be in the TSC.
I really hate saying this over and over but you guys have to be realistic about this.
Masterjedi461 I think your thought process is spot-on. I was already mentally pre-rearranging my Toy Story bookcase thinking how I would set up for a Trixie in a Rex-style box… Zurg to go next to my Utility Belt Buzz… the Mrs. w/ Mr. P-Head… and well I GOTSTA have the whole Roundup Gang with Pete!
Thanks. 
I have to say that the figuring out which ones will come out next has to be almost as much fun as finding and buying them. I have to find a bookcase of some sort to display mine if these do come out, because the table I’m using is mostly full, since I have all of the current Collection, plus DS Hamm, and Chunk, Twitch, and Sparks, and I still have to get Bonnie’s toys from the Disney Store, minus Trixie, accurate Barbie and Ken, Chatter Phone, and possibly the Jolly Chimp Cymbal Monkey and Totoro. All of those, plus the new ones, just would not fit lol.
Tyler1995, Totoro was in all of Bonnie’s playtime adventures, which I would say constitutes being a character, even though he had no voice actor. Twitch, Chunk, Sparks, and Bonnie’s toys, including Totoro, all played small parts as well, but Stretch had just as much screen time as any of these guys, and we’ve seen the first three in the cheaper Thinkway line, and all of Bonnie’s toys have gotten the plush Disney Store treatment. Stretch has a figure as well, but the rest of these are as close to their proper scale as we’re going to get I think, and Stretch doesn’t have a close to scale version as of yet. While I understand that just because they haven’t been made yet doesn’t mean that they will be, I don’t think I’m being entirely unrealistic here, as there are few toys that are left that would actually make sense in the TSC lineup, and I can’t see them including any of Andy’s other toys (i.e. Wheezy, Lenny, Rocky, etc.) in the Collection, because it just doesn’t make sense for them. Stretch, even though her role is small, is easily recognizable by kids and collectors alike, since she was in the most recent movie, and would be a quick sell I believe. I would definitely buy her.
I would love to see a Spanish Buzz complete with the original Buzz’s English sayings. Basically EXACTLY like Andy’s Buzz. The definitive version! A switch would activate for “Spanish Mode” and “English Mode”. I wouldn’t expect Spanish mode to have tons of sayings, just about 5-10 from TS3. I’m not sure how many sayings they can fit into one Buzz, but I would get it if they did that! I laughed so hard in TS3 whenever Spanish Buzz had any part of the action or dialogue. Call me a sucker for a Buzz Lightyear.
There is a Spanish Buzz isent it a Walmart Exlusive
PS Spoiler 
Should we still call theme “Andys toys” or Bonnie’s Toys seeing that shes there new owner now lol
“So long, partner”. Woody
Hmm. How legitimate is it though? Is it the exact same as the TSC buzz or is it missing a few things?
Affirmative. they do already have several (2) spanish speaking Buzz Lightyears. I have high hopes for a Ken and Barbie TSC, Stinky Pete, Zurg, and Mrs. Potato Head. I wish that they would release another version of Hamm and Slink because the current versions seem so fragile, but i know that this is unlikely. As for the order in which i would purchase the characters, its about the same as the first two lists. Although i pretty much knew i had to have all the characters in order to feel like i had the complete TSC.
If i had to just purchase one character it would have been Jesse for my daughter. it actually was jesse and then i was bitten by the TSC virus. 
For myself it would be Woody and then Buzz. Those are really the characters one needs at the least to partially represent the series in my opinion.SPOILER ALERT!!! (and i believe that bonnie is holding just those two figures at the end of the third movie before she is called inside for dinner.) [/spoiler][/spoiler]
It looks just like the TSC Buzz but speaks spanish and plays spanish sounding music like in Toy story 3 lol
SPOILER ALERT
I remember Andy giving the little girl named Bonnie his Woody Buzz Jessie Bullseye Mr and Ms Potato head Slincky and Rex . They were all left outside on Bonnies front porch. Bonnie was called in for dinner as Andy car drove away Woody looked at the car and said …
“So long, partner”. Woody
It’s actually the same as the TS Buzz that has just been released. the variation with clouds on the box from andy’s wall paper. It seems that walmart is no longer carrying the TSC dolls and has opted to carry the dolls that they can move the fastest ie the 34.99 action fig. TRU is also carrying less of the TSCs and opted for more of the low cost dolls. i am still happy with my decision to only purchase the TSC dolls though. they have tremendous points of difference in my opinion. Especially now that i see many stores ordering fewer of them.
My wife and i have been bying up any TSC doll that we can find (with the exception of the army men and RC) because we dont believe that Pixar will continue to make them for much longer. 
SPOILER ALERT!!! Just watched it again yesterday and i am positive they were the last Characters that she held. I remember thinking that the series began with Woody and Buzz and “ended” with them.
