Monogram Collectibles makes the cutest 3D foam figural keyrings and bag clips out there, so you can imagine my excitement when they revealed that a full set of Toy Story characters was on its way! This is Series 22 of their Disney blind bag assortments and I could not be more excited to share each character with you today in more detail. A HUGE thank you to Monogram for sending this case my way to unbox and review!
There have been other Toy Story characters released in past Disney series, but this is the first series dedicated entirely to the TS films. Here's the breakdown of other TS characters released over the years and their corresponding series:
- Buzz Lightyear (Series 4)
- Woody and an Alien (Series 5)
- Lotso, Jessie and Rex were in (Series 6)
- Hamm, Wheezy and Army Man (Series 8, which I purchased and reviewed HERE)
- Zurg (Disney Villains Series)
Anyway, onto this series as there's a lot to dive into! 11 characters to be exact (nine commons and two exclusives—Exclusive A and Exclusive B, which are only one each per case)...
Here we have: Buzz Lightyear as Mrs. Nesbit, Woody (with Bo Peep's kisses), Bo Peep, Jessie, Bullseye, Buttercup, Trixie, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, Baby Face (Exclusive A) and a Glow in the Dark Alien (Exclusive B). Each figure is about 2.5" tall.
And here's my full case breakdown for anyone interested:
- Buzz Lightyear as Mrs. Nesbit (x2)
- Woody (x2)
- Bo Peep (x3)
- Jessie (x2)
- Bullseye (x3)
- Buttercup (x3)
- Trixie (x3)
- Slinky (x2)
- Mr. Potatohead (x2)
- Baby Face (x1)
- Glow in the Dark Alien (x1)
Take an up-close and personal look at each character below! These are some of the cutest renditions of these characters that I've ever seen; this company has such a unique and iconic style. I absolutely LOVE what they did with Woody by giving him that smug face and Bo Peep kiss prints (straight from the end of the first film). There have been a lot of products of Woody since 1995, basically every variant you could ever think of, but I believe this is the first to utilize this idea/movie moment. Way to go Monogram! So clever.
I also love how Mr. Potato Head is featured here, since you don't get much of him outside of the actual Potato Head toys from Playskool (because of rights issues)—he might actually be my favorite with Woody with kisses and Slinky rounding out my top three! How could I really choose though, they're all amazing. You can't go wrong with anything Nesbit Buzz related! And Sid's iconic mutant toy Baby Face? Seriously amazing! Another unique choice of a character you rarely see. Lastly, I couldn't not mention how cool the glow in the dark alien is. That one is a must!

These can mostly be found at stores like Hot Topic and BoxLunch, as well as online shops like Amazon and Toy Wiz. Walmart's website has them as well, but I'm not sure if they can be found in actual Walmart stores. Retail price ranges anywhere between $4.99 and $6.90 each.
