Yeah I’m really happy it’s a guy. When I first saw the character a few days ago I was kind of dreading it cause I thought it’d be so lame to have a female counterpart for Bullseye. Basically, exactly what Kyle said.
oops! thanks for pointing out that the article COMPLETELY mis-named him. I wrote that when it was early in the morning and somehow in my mind, [spoil]Chunk [/spoil]became [spoil]Crunch[/spoil]. The only mention of his name does come from the LEGO set so it should have been [spoil]Chunk[/spoil], not [spoil]Crunch[/spoil].
Is anyone curious about Buttercup’s character? I think he’ll have a backstory. Notice all the toys have backgrounds of the daycare when you view them, but Buttercup’s turns into some kind of empty room. Maybe he’ll be from a grown-up owner too.
btw, Lotso is totally evil the way he winks at you like that…
actually, the peas also have the same background as buttercup… which is rather weird because both of these characters have not been seen in the trailers, which makes me think that they will not be part of the daycare… maybe they are new toys that andy got in the course of the last ten years? Because it wouldn’t make sense that jessie and bullseye were his last toys. But then again, the peas and buttercup dont seem like toys andy would get since one is for babies and the other is more girly. Perhaps they are Molly’s toys who knows…
Flik-E, I love the image edit of Rex and Trixie! So adorable!
I can only imagine how many childhood dinosaur buffs Trixie inspired in the trailer. Mine certainly came out the instant I saw her! I can’t wait for Toy Story 3, and I definitely can’t wait for all those Trixie toys!
