Yes, I guess, but she is off-scale, and if you saw her, you would go “ew”. Look sorry for not having pictures, I’ll try and get some when and if I go back for Tour Guide Barbie.
Hey Guys,
I just found this really weird vintage-esque commercial for a Lots-O-Hugging Bear toy. It says circa 1983 but since we know that can’t be true, it’s really good video editing. It also appears to be the Toy Story Collection version.
Anyway check it out right here:

Holy crap, I didn’t know he already existed!
Edit: I really don’t think this was made recently, you can usually tell when something was done in the style of an old ad versus the real thing.
um the other toys
they didn’t break it
they removed it
His tail is removable
Haha, that commercial is great! If it weren’t for Toy Story 3 I wouldve been convinced that it was from the 80s. Still, it’s really odd how that video just popped up out of nowhere on that Youtube account.
I know! It’s so weird that Lotso might have actually existed prior to Toy Story 3, especially since he looks exactly like the Toy Story Collection version. Either that’s amazing video editing or that’s brilliant replication on Pixar & Thinkway’s part to make it look just like the 80’s toy.
but isn’t he a toy who doesn’t talk in the movie
Um there’s no way you’re talking about Rex then.
What makes you think this isn’t a real 80s ad guys? where’s the proof?
But he’s right, Rex isn’t meant to a talking toy. He talks when he’s alive but doesn’t have that twist tail to talk thing. However, its perfectly logical the tail would still be removable, even the cheap non talking rex we have in real life has a removable tail for packaging purposes.
That would be soo awesome if it was a real 80’s commercial but I’m just a little skeptical since it’s just way too coincidental that it looks like Toy Story’s. Also it’s weird that no other information about an 80’s Lotso popped up until now.
First of all, the Lotso in the commercial look exactly like the Thinkway version. Second, I forgot exactly where, but I’ve seen earlier concept art of Lotso that looks nothing like his final form, more like a slightly thinner-than-normal Care Bear. If he was based on a pre-existing toy he probably wouldn’t have gone through that phase.
I just think he was too obscure. theres probably info out there to be found, if we look hard enough. And I have heard people say they’ve owned him as a kid, I just didnt believe them until now.
Edit: as for his earlier designs, I think they just knew they wanted a pink teddy bear, there are millions of teddy bears out ther afterall. They probably found this real toy later while doing research and decided to use him for the design.
I really, really hope that this is an authentic 80’s commercial. It would just make Toy Story 3 so much more realistic and give credit to PIXAR for actually finding this toy and deciding to use it.
I wonder if they managed to acquire the rights to the toy then, like they did with Chatter Phone and the Potato Heads.
This is indeed a viral Video! A VERY WELL DONE viral video! Saving this mother.
Lee Unkrich had been posting real ads on twitter, now we know why, to have the Lotso one blend in! For the skeptics saying its real. Please find me the toy, and also company information for “Huggin Toys” hahaha.
This is the 6" scale one, looks great regardless:
Ok, maybe Ive been had afterall. If only becasue of the Huggin Toys thing. a google search brings up nothing useful on them.
Too bad, that is awesome video editing though. Does anyone know how I can make a digital video look like an old VHS tape, like the commercial? Is there some sort program I can use?
I dont think you’d been “had” at all Kyle, its really, really well done. Like you said, usually one can tell if its not vintage, and I can honeslty say that thats the best vintage commercial I have ever seen made that way.
I apologize if this is old News, but this actually counts as the Collection line, and in stock:

I’m not buying it until after I see the movie, if at all, hahaha.
EDIT:
Nevermind, its been out for awhile it looks like, packaged with Ken for only $25:
That viral commercial is sooooo made of win. I hope that they make more of them for the other new toys.
