Playtime Sheriff Woody

 (71 customer reviews)

My two and a half year old son is very very interested in all things Toy Story. For Christmas he received a small soft Woody Doll and a talking Buzz Lightyear. Buzz was broken within a week (arms and legs were broken off). Yes, I realize my son is likely too young for it. BUT, even partially dismembered, he is still my son's favorite. The other day, we saw Talking Woody. Well, my son was instantly smitten and so, Woody returned home with us. I like this doll MUCH more than the Buzz, simply in terms of durability. The hat is a real pain to deal with though as it falls off all the time. I'm considering a velcro fix, we'll see. Maybe I'll just hide the hat. Anyway, we've already had to magic marker Woody's boot with my son's name and he walks around with Woody and Buzz proclaiming them, "My best present ever!". He still loves his soft Woody, which we call Cuddle Woody, so he can take this one to bed (along with a small soft cuddle Buzz - yes, we are suckers). So, there you...Read more

This is a great Sheriff Woody, although a little on the expensive side. There are only a couple things I find off about him-- first off, I'm not sure if it's Tom Hanks' voice or not-- sometimes it sounds like him, sometimes it doesn't. It's a bit of a surprise, since the similar Blast-Off Buzz quite obviously uses Tim Allen's voice. It's close enough though that I doubt a kid would notice, or particularly care, and he sounds very lively all the same. Second is the way his arms are stitched on; they're at an angle, which makes him look very natural when his arms are down, but makes them difficult to lift up. I'm not sure if the rag doll version is any different, but if your child is more interested in playing with Woody than hearing him talk, you may want to check. Finally, his battery pack (two AAAs) is rather difficult to get to-- it's approximately where his butt is, under several layers of fabric.

Other than those two relatively minor nitpicks, I think this is a great...Read more

Sheriff Woody was under the Christmas tree for my 4 yr old daughter. She loves Toy Story movies and only seemed appropriate to have her own Woody Cowboy doll. His size is perfect and exactly as the description states. She instantly latched onto him. He has numerous different sayings, and even though his pull string is a little different than expected he works perfectly even after months of rough play (today's technology has changed pull-string dolls). He looks just like Sheriff Woody on tv and the only bad review we've gotten as parents from my daughter is that . . . Santa forgot Jessie & Bullseye.
