I feel like it would be insane to release the plush bonnie’s toys like buttercup, pricklepants, and dolly, and then turn around and not do Trixie, which would be plastic and probably talk, which is what thinkway likes to produce.
However, I’d be happy with 1 character per year, if it meant keeping the line going. However, there is a short list of viable candidates for any future toys.
First of all, eliminate any minor characters from Toy Story, Rocky, Robot, Lenny…aren’t going to happen.
Low sales of Hamm in 1995 was enough to kill the new TSC Hamm prototype, and he was a main character (with a funny voice) from all three movies…so Bo Peep isn’t happening either, if it applies to Hamm, sadly is also applies to Bo. Slinky has patent issues, so no on him
Mr. Potatohead was either clearanced out, or is still currently clearanced (as is the case at TRU). Not having seperate eyes or a compartment, made it the weakest TSC character. I think those sales have killed any chance for a Mrs. P, despite being easy to copy the Mr. P design.
So who does that leave?
Stinky Pete - finishes the Round up Gang, negative - might sit on shelves, just like the movie
Zurg - should sell well, but already have had a canceled TSC and U-command Prototype
Wheezy - very small chance, but out of minor characters, this seems most realistic (at least to me)
Stretch - to help finish lotso gang, negative- prolly made from essentially imaginary material in movie
Big Baby - already has had an alleged prototype, decision has probably already been made
Twitch - most inexplicable appearance at Toy Fair, a near perfect one already exists albeit w/o staff
Trixie - goes with rex and rest of wave 3, the kind of toy up thinkways ally, negative - a GIRL dino toy
Chuckles - goes with bonnies toys, cult appeal, negative - no a strong main character
This leads to my theory that IF thinkway continues the line, Trixie would definately be apart of it, along with a few others from the list…
However, it almost seems like they are done now, because they wont produce a trixie figure bigger than 3 inches, for whatever reason.
