Lasseter talks Toy Story Collection (2) + Jessie doll coming soon

Here's part two of John Lasseter's YouTube series promoting the Toy Story Collection. Go here for Part 1 and further details.



In related news, a Disney Consumer Products spokesperson informed me yesterday that there are indeed plans for a Toy Story Collection Jessie doll to "roll out in Spring/Summer 2010", something I had previously wondered about.

I love how serious he is about these toys. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with that, which there isn't, but it's just kinda funny. Also: we saw a Slinky Dog being sold at a Disney shop in a mall, part of the Toy Story Collection series, and the box said "The Original Slinky Toy". But we owned the original Slinky Toy released back around the time of the first Toy Story, and it was different.

wow, my predicion was spot on for when they would release jessie. good to hear. I wonder when/if we'll hear about others planned.

what about bo peep and the sheep?? or slinky? or bullsye? or hamm?? i love what they've released so far but if they're gonna call it a collection there should actually be a "collection" instead of just 5 or 6 characters or whatever amount they have. i hope they'll add more than just jessie to the lineup!

I had a Thinkway toy spokesperson say November of this year for Jessie. There is a "regular" version of her at some Toys R Us stores right now.

Rex is coming!

And will we ever see a Prospector "Stinky Pete" doll? I'd love to see a recreation of his infamous box!

Kyle said...

Jordan, they already made a version of stinky Pete in the 90s. I remember seeing him in the Disney store, complete with his box. Its been a long time so I couldn't tell you how accurate it was, but I know it exists.

But yeah, I'm sure a Toy Story Collection version would be way better.

Nerd question: Wouldn't this version of Woody come with a pistol in that holster?
