I’m wondering if you can record the files onto a chip and solder that chip into Woody’s electronic voice box. -Omar
I’m very interested in this. I too would love to have a movie-accurate voicebox for my TSC Woody.
I’ve always had the dream of actually getting these on a vinyl record to make a real pull-string. But the recording process would be around $100, though since this isn’t exactly a full album, I’d expect it to be less.
Dinoco, will you be using those direct samples, or will you use cleaner, less distorted versions of the phrases?
Seeing as there’s better samples out there, I’ll try to rip those, but there’s no telling how it will play. The most important part is getting the speed right.
Here’s an example of what to expect from a real toy.

dinoco, those are some LOUD clips.
I did attempt to rip the phrases from the films a few years ago. Getting 5 of them. feel free to use them. I did edit the equalization to make it sound more like a speaker. I’m thinking of redoing it, since I finally obtain the 5.1 audio tracks from the films. the only phrase that will be a challenge to get clean will be the wagon train phrase.

“Somebody poisoned the waterhole”
has a small noise at the end of this sentence = \
Oh yea
hey, cant you get the waterhole hole phrase from the TSC woody? mine is pretty distorted.
I dont think TSC woody has the waterhole phrase, does he?
i meant the wagon train phrase. my bad
No good. First, it’s missing the “YEEE-HA!” at the beginning. Second, it’s Jim Hanks’ voice, not Tom’s.
I don’t think “Ride like the wind, Bullseye!” can be one of his pullstring phrases, because that would mean he would’ve been wondering who this “Bullseye” is before meeting him. Although eliminating that still leaves us one short of nine (“Hey Howdy Hey” is all but definite). I asked Lee Unkrich on Twitter, here’s hoping for a swift reply.
DS store woody has the waterhole phrase, i think from what the site said
No he does not. He has the exact same phrases as the original 195 doll. The only one with the waterhole phrase is the mattel toy story 3 doll which I believe is a european exclusive.

Woody’s 8th phrase is actually “Draw!” This is confirmed from an earlier script, which Woody was supposed to say this before his ‘waterhole’ line when scaring Sid. I’m sure it actually was recorded by Tom Hanks as well at this point in production (even so, Woody still says this when he’s talking to Etch).
If we’re going by the Prospector’s box, the dolls have 9 phrases. So I guess the 9th one is still a mystery (or maybe Woody just always had 8).
EDIT: There do exist custom, pre made pull-strings:

Obviously, these are not the same mechanism as Woody’s vintage one, as it runs on batteries. Though the size does seem to be correct. Aside from the batteries, the phrases also would not be random (unless otherwise modified). Though I’m not sure if Woody’s “wagon train” quote would even fit on a record - that’s one advantage the electric voice box has.
thats another interseting little factoid
