It’s been a bit quiet on the Toy Story 3 front for a while but that is all about to change as our friends at Disney have just sent us the first two new characters from the third installment of the epic movie. The first two new characters are Peas in a Pod and Ken, Barbie’s partner.

You’ll notice that we have a group shot photo with rather a lot of blank spaces. All those spaces are left to be filled and every week from now, we’ll be bringing you a new character or two along with lots of other Toy Story 3 goodness.

You can click all the images below to enlarge and keep checking back for more Toy Story 3 fun up until it’s release on July 23rd.

Peas in a Pod

Peas-in-a-Pod will quickly become a parent’s favorite on-the-go toy. The soft, plush pod secures the happy peas inside with a durable metal zipper, making it perfect for the car or stroller. The Peas-in-a-Pod plush toy also develops fine motor skills by catering to a child’s natural grab instinct. Pulling the three peas out of the pod will provide repeated enjoyment for infants and toddlers, and soon they’ll learn to put them back in! Machine washable. Not for human consumption.

Ken

Grab your binoculars and join Ken on a safari! A swinging bachelor who’s always on the lookout for fun, Ken sports the perfect outfit for his eco-adventure: light blue shorts and a leopard-print shirt with short sleeves sure to keep him cool in the hot sun. And after his exciting expedition, Ken will be ready to hit the dance floor in style. His accessories include matching scarf, sensible loafers and a fashion-forward gold belt. Dozens of additional Ken outfits sold separately.
