As the gang opens up the awning and is led by Buzz, the older toys are shocked to see their old friend, Bo Peep.

But Woody alleviates the situation by saying not only did Bonnie have a good day in class and they're going on a road trip, but Bonnie made "a friend" in class. He is a wooden toy dachshund who speaks with a graveled Southern accent.

Against all odds, she’d proven herself to be a more formidable business-person than her predecessor.By the time Betty James sold James Industries to toy manufacturer Poof Products, Inc. for “a boatload of money” in 1998, she’d sold more than 300 million of its flagship product, the Slinky.She’d taken an ailing company and given it a second life, not only providing for her own family, but the families of the close-knit 120-person team she’d built.

By that afternoon, Bonnie is still distraught over losing Forky, and her parents sympathetically tell her they'll look outside on more time, but they have to leave. Woody then grabs onto Slinky and jumps into the rain. She then orders the cowboy to keep them calm until she gets the word. He is seen along with the rest of the group sitting in the closet as they wait for Bonnie to finish her breakfast. Woody climbs up Slinky's coils to see what's going on but both he and the top part of Slinky are shut out by Mrs. Davis as she closes the door. When the United States entered a brief As a young man, James became interested in how things were built; by the late 1930s, he’d graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in mechanical engineering, and entered the workforce as a naval engineer.
As he comforts her that they're going to see her teacher and classmates, Bonnie asks if she can bring a toy (namely Jessie) along with her, but Mr. Anderson says toys aren't allowed in school. Dolly asks her what did she do, but Jessie pulls up a nail she has and tells them, "We're not going anywhere if you get my However, Mr. Anderson finally fixes the tire by the time night falls, and Woody, Buzz, and Forky are Still not back. They sold like hotcakes.In 1974, Betty received word that her ex-husband, Slinky’s inventor and one-time CEO, had passed away in Bolivia, at the age of 56. After all, it’s essentially just a glorified spring.

With little explanation, he bought a one-way ticket to rural Bolivia, and joined what his wife called “an evangelical Christian cult” somewhere deep in the wilderness.By July, he’d severed all ties and disappeared.Just before leaving, he’d presented Betty with a choice: she could liquidate the company, or assume sole ownership. What’s worse, the Slinky’s trendiness began to lose steam by the end of the 1950s, and business wasn’t so hot. “The simplicity of the Slinky,”  she told an AP reporter in 1995, “is what made it so successful”: simplicity in design, simplicity in advertising, and, most importantly, simplicity in pricing.In 1945, the Slinky sold for $1.00; by the late 90s, the same model sold for just 89 cents more. After the Barbies help launch Jessie up to the lock of the window to unlock it, the toys open it and Jessie shines a flashlight onto RC. For the rest of the day, James’ curiosity was unflinching, and he returned home later that evening still reeling with joy.“I think if I got the right property of steel and the right tension,” he For the entirety of a year, he tinkered with various wire types and tensions in his free time. As Woody crawls out of the backpack, he's scolded by the other toys for disobeying the rules. He evolved from the invention of the Slinky, along with a host of other rather bizarre-looking Slinky-related toys shown in this ad. As Woody pets Slinky, he notices Buzz and the two have one final embrace. Due to his older-looking appearance, he is seen to be very relaxed and calm but admits in the third film, "I might be old, but I still got a spring in my stiff!". On paper, James was in serious financial trouble.Once obsessed with obtaining wealth, he’d become wholly disinterested with money now that he had it.

After Woody and Jessie fail to find him outside through the window on Andy's desk, Slinky proclaims that RC is done for. Potato Head shushes both of them as the gang watches a sleeping Bonnie snuggling with a spoon the toys snuck in her hand as a substitute for Forky. Woody is left to watch Bo, her sheep, and the lamp they're attached to put into a box to be sold to the mysterious man, as Molly doesn't want it anymore. But they all soon collapse as the Anderons climb into the RV. When the toys break into the penthouse, Slinky and After the toys return home, Slinky is seen standing with Buster at the door, interpreting that Buster wants to get out of the room.
