The Toy Story 5 takeover has officially begun. With just weeks to go before the film hits theaters on June 19, Disney Parks are already deep in it — and if you’ve been to Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World or Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure lately, you’ve probably already noticed something different about your favorite cowboy and space ranger.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie are now sporting fresh new accessories at their meet-and-greet locations in honor of the upcoming Pixar sequel. Jessie is wearing her sheriff badge, Woody is rocking a bandana poncho, and Buzz has a shiny star sticker to show off. It’s a small touch, but for fans who’ve been counting down to this one, it hits different in person.

Meet Lilypad — Woody’s Toughest Opponent Yet

Disney and Pixar also just dropped three new character posters, and they do a lot of work setting up the film’s central tension. Each one pairs one of the classic trio with Lilypad — a bright green, frog-inspired tablet device with oversized animated eyes and small webbed feet at the corners of the screen. Think iPad, but make it Pixar.

In the first poster, Jessie looks genuinely caught off guard as Lilypad watches her from across the frame. Woody is shown cautiously reaching toward the device in his, while Lilypad gives him a slightly smug look back. And then there’s Buzz — facing Lilypad in full confrontation mode, jaw set, while the tablet stares back with narrowed eyes. Same layout, three very different emotional registers, and all of them tell you exactly where each character stands.

The posters had actually already appeared in Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios before the official social media rollout — a nice little Easter egg for park guests who spotted them early.

The official synopsis leans into the tech-versus-toys premise head-on: “The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of the gang’s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad, a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same?”

Greta Lee voices Lilypad. Scarlett Spears takes over as the voice of Bonnie. And the rest of the ensemble is stacked — Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack are all back as Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, joined by Tony Hale, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, Blake Clark, Annie Potts, Bonnie Hunt, Melissa Villaseñor, Kristen Schaal, Krys Marshall, and Keanu Reeves.

The film is directed by Andrew Stanton — who has been a writer on the Toy Story franchise since the very beginning and directed both Finding Nemo and WALL-E — from a screenplay he co-wrote with Kenna Harris, who also co-directs. Lindsey Collins produces. It took nearly seven years to bring this one together, and Stanton has already hinted there’s more story where this came from.

The Merch Is Already Here

If you can’t make it to a park, the Toy Story 5 rollout is coming to your doorstep anyway. Funko has unveiled its official collection of Toy Story 5 Pop figures, featuring updated looks for Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, plus Lilypad herself. Each vinyl figure stands about 3.75 inches tall and comes in a numbered window-pane box — the kind that’s made for display as much as it is for play. They’re available to order on Amazon now ahead of a June 10 release date, getting them into fans’ hands a full nine days before the movie opens.

Bullseye also gets his own Pop, measuring roughly 3.75 inches tall and five inches wide — a nice nod to Jessie’s loyal horse, who’s confirmed to be back with the squad.

The more exciting pull for collectors, though, might be the Funko Mystery Mini blind boxes, which lean into the same surprise-unboxing energy that made Labubus such a phenomenon last year. Each pack contains one random figure from a pool of 12 characters. Among the rarer pulls: Sticky Hand and the pet pig belonging to Blaze, a new character described as a friend of Jessie’s. And for the truly lucky, there’s a super rare chase pull featuring Forky and Karen Beverly — a.k.a. Knifey — which is going to make a lot of Toy Story 4 fans very happy.

Tim Allen, for his part, has already hinted that this new chapter puts Jessie front and center in a bigger way than before — which, given Joan Cusack’s three-decade run with the character, feels very earned.

Toy Story 5 opens in theaters June 19.
