![]() When she sees them being imprisoned by Lotso and Ken, she doesn't even hesitate to break up with Ken and join them in the prison boxes.

Tomboyish Ponytail: Both inverted and averted.Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Jessie's Tomboy in Toy Story 3. ![]() Team Mom: To the toys of Sunnyside in the epilogue.Smarter Than You Look: Basic political philosophy out of nowhere.Nice Girl: Barbie is optimistic, simple, kind, and energetic.Again, justified by their being from the same toy line. Jack of All Trades: As to be expected from a character whose model has held down basically every type of job imaginable, she's decent at just about everything she does."Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from threat of force!" Justified, as the many roles and jobs Barbie has had over the decades include Presidential candidate, German Chancellor, UNICEF diplomat and UN Ambassador for World Peace. Hidden Depths: When Lotso confronts her and the other toys during their escape, she busts out a surprisingly eloquent argument against authoritarianism.Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has blonde hair and is generally a sweet toy.Happily Married: To Ken after they make up.Genki Girl: Usually cheerful and energetic.Genius Ditz: Quite the expert on politics.She played this role well enough to push him into a Heel–Face Turn, and they end the movie Happily Married. Femme Fatale Spy: She did love Ken before realizing what was really going on at Sunnyside and then rejected him.Dumb Blonde: Appears as this at first, but says two lines to Lotso that subvert the trope.Demoted to Extra: Following a prominent role in the third film, she only appears briefly without dialogue in the fourth film’s prologue, and doesn’t appear in the main narrative.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She may seem like a ditz, but she will fight for her friends, and even Ken can't put her down.Cool and Unusual Punishment: Subjects Ken to this to force him to tell her what Lotso did to Buzz and how to fix him: she destroys his clothes in front of him until he talks.Beware the Nice Ones: Do not threaten her friends if you know what's good for you.Toy Story 3 introduces this particular Barbie as a member of the main gang, and gives her a good deal of character development.

Without Etch, we would all just draw blanks."Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from threat of force!" Voiced by: Jodi Benson Other voice actors Frédérique Bel (European French), Mariloup Wolfe (Canadian French), Danna García (Latin Spanish) Film Appearances: Toy Story 3 | Toy Story 4 Other Appearances: Toy Story ToonsĪ "Great Shape Barbie" doll manufactured by Mattel. Without Etch, we’d have no creativity, no guidance, no map to Al’s Toy Barn. He's even figured out a way to physically move, a true and only slightly unsettling miracle of life.Įtch may have once threatened to fully hang Woody from gallows (huge red flag, to be honest), but overall, he’s been a team player and the magnetic lineographic glue that holds the whole ensemble together. He can read you better than you can read yourself, but he’s not above erasing his opinions and hearing what you have to say. He’s a great listener and an even better transcriber. Etch is everything you could want in a life partner: his humor is swift and witty ( have you even seen him quick-draw?!). He’s the Picasso of Pixar, the Fisher King of the Fisher Price demo, the fastest knobs in the west and the most necessary toy in Andy’s room. Several Toy Story players have real-life counterparts, but arguably none are as familiar or generally bad-ass as Etch.
