Toy Story Reviews

Howdy, pardner! Put on this Woody costume, inspired by Toy Story 2, and you'll be ready for high-flying Halloween adventures. The dress-up set includes a body suit with attached vest and holster, foam-backed boots (with soft spurs), and a dashing bandana. Top off your rough-and-tough look with the molded foam cowboy hat. Yee haw! --Melissa Wilson

Part of the fun of the enduringly successful Toy Story movies is the incongruous teaming of wildly different toys. After all, the heroes of the series are a cowboy and spaceman who are forced to work together alongside Mr. Potato Head, some gung-ho army guys, a dim dinosaur, and a Slinky Dog. So it only stands to reason that in this whimsical attempt to finally give Woody a weapon (remember his holster has long been empty) he packs a plastic snake. Once the three-jointed viper is in Woody's hand, it can be twitched back and forth by pushing a button on Woody's back. A cardboard cactus with a target is included to let our gentle cowboy friend bone up on his snakesmanship before facing off against Zurg. Woody stands 4 inches tall and is crafted out of hard plastic and articulated at the legs, shoulder, and head. --Charlie Williams
