Toys and Games Reviews of Toy Story Collection Talking Sheriff Woody
Customer Review: Talkback Woody doesn't just talk back, he talks and talks and talks and talks and talks
Summary: 3 Stars
We got this version of Woody from Toy Story for our 4.5 year old son. He's a huge fan of the movie, and we thought he would love the pull-string talking Woody. We we're right, what we didn't count on is how the "talkback" function would work.
The pros: movie size, featuring Tom Hanks' voice, this Woody is the real deal. It looks exactly like the toy from the movie and sounds just like him as well. There are 50 phrases built in to this Woody, but when you pull the string and he will only say one of about 20 of them in the limited rotation of "demo" mode. Our son loves Woody, and plays with him endlessly, answering Woody's questions and responding to his statements. It's cute, and irritating, because in talkback mode Woody will simply talk and talk, repeating phrases over and over instead of responding to queries. The AI is lacking, the responses are non-sequitors, and Woody talks over our son most of the time.
The cons: this toy features a "talkback mode," which means the doll will spout off phrases non-stop, even when no-one is talking to it. "Hey, where are you guys?" Woody asks as soon as anyone stops talking to him when in talkback mode. While in talkback mode he talks and talks and talks and talks for 5 minutes, until he announces that he's going to take a nap.
Most of what he says is a complete non-sequitor, *except* for when our son gets excited or raises his voice while playing with Woody. Then Woody spouts off with "Oh brother, can you keep it down?" or "Oh yeah, that was loud," or "Woah, simmer down, no need to be so loud, partner." I did not realize we were buying the "Surrogate Parent Woody" and am offended by the audacity of a toy (maker) to simultaneously get my son fired up and then tell him to simmer down. Furthermore, our son isn't quite sure how to react when Woody chastises him (and some of the quotes are really in a chastising voice).
To make matters worse, the list of phrases Woody says in talkback mode are not available in the other "demo" mode. When in demo mode, Woody says the same 20 phrases in the same order, every time, omitting some of the key favorites in the talkback rotation.
Pandora's box is already open, and our son would know if we swapped it for a less talkative version, such as Talking Sheriff Woody. If I had it all to do over, however, that more simple version is what I would have bought.
ONE YEAR UPDATE: We've now had Talkback Woody in our house for close to a year, and I wanted to update my review. Our son recently put Woody in Talkback mode for the first time in four-plus months (his choice, I flip the switch for him whenever he asks), and I was interested in seeing how he responded to Woody now.
Short (Toy) story: I stand by everything I wrote above. If I had it all to do over again, I would have gotten the less expensive, less talkative doll. My son even notices Woody's non-sequitors now, and comments on how off-topic Woody gets. He left Woody in Talkback mode for about an hour, then asked me to "make it so Woody only talks when I want him to." Dude. Totally.
