What REAL Toys Look Like

As a follow-up to my post, When Toys Become Real, Like Veleveteen, here’s a pictorial:

This is how Woody arrives from the store… with the movie character’s name, Andy, already embossed on the bottom of the boot.

After a few good months of love, this is what the other boot looks like:

    :-) When our guy was little he went to Target w/ his mom..and OMG he lost Woody’s hat. He cried through the store in his little voice “I wan Wooooody’s Hat!”..
    We bought a new woody JUST for the hat..I know, can you say spoiled rotton.

    Woody and Buzz are the BEST!

    A kids gotta make his own mark on the world, one toy at a time. And he’s probably been wondering, “Who the hell is this Andy character anyway?

  9. Lori says:

  10. Great shot!

    We just watched this movie today! How funny. My 3-year-old loved it.

  15. Kristi says:

    My son did the same thing to his Woody doll. Happy WW!

  16. That’s so cute! Dudelet went through a big toy story phase, though Buzz is abandoned in a box somewhere by now. He’s a fickle little monster, though altogether lovable with it.
