Toy Story 5 – Goodbye To Mr Potato Head?

2025 is set to be a big year in film.

From the release of the long-awaited live-action remake of Lilo and Stitch to the next installment in the How to Train Your Dragon series, film fans are buzzing.

Then, of course, looking further down the line to next year, there is also the next installment in the Toy Story franchise, with Toy Story 5 coming out of Pixar Studios on June 19, 2026.

Fans of the film series are aware that the franchise has a habit of removing or ‘killing off’ characters, with the most notable example of a toy being tossed out being Bo Peep.

Will the franchise do this again? Fans have noted the more recent movies to have more adult themes, such as the death of toys or them being lost or left behind by kids. That was the entire reason Lotso, the strawberry-scented bear, was, well, not a nice bear!

In Toy Story 4, Woody left the gang to be with Bo Peep, and in Toy Story 5, many fans speculate that the characters will be reunited with other toys while another one might be removed.

So, fans have their thinking caps on about who may be the unlikely toy to be tossed to the curb in Toy Story 5. Will it be Mr. Potato Head? Here, you can read about the odds of who is the most likely to get thrown out and learn more about the film.

1xBet odds at 5 predict a 20% chance that Toy Story 5 will see the end of the always-sarcastic Mr. Potato Head. Discover the current Odds now HERE.

Toys on The Block

Not to play too much into the potentially morbid theme of this film, but fans have speculated that, in this reuniting segment, one toy is likely to be removed from any future stories. According to the website The Direct, the toys that have been guaranteed to return in Toy Story 5 include:

• Woody
• Buzz Lightyear
• Rex
• Slinky Dog
• Jessie
• Ham
• Forky
• Bullseye

As you can see, there is no guarantee that Mr. Potato Head will return with his wife, pushing the rumors that he is the one who is either not going to appear or will be removed from the line-up of toys.

It should also be noted that photos from the animation so far show the toys in a different room than the previous owner, Bonnie. Have they been passed to someone else, with Mr. Potato Head potentially being removed? Or has Bonnie just had her room redecorated?

Anticipation of Toy Story 5

Some fans of the Toy Story franchise were eager for it all to stop after Toy Story 3. As before, some feel that the darker tones make the more recent versions of the 1995 classic not fit in the mold.

As Toy Story 5 is still in the production phase, fans are very curious about who the child is in the released images, why certain toys are not in the line-up despite being part of the main cast of toys, and, of course, if the film will have a darker tone.

Irrespective, the buzz for this film highlights that this beloved story and its amazing characters are as popular as they have ever been, so if you love Toy Story, keep your eyes on Pixar’s website and social media channels for more news about this upcoming film.

If you believe that Slinky Dog is the toy to be removed from Toy Story 5, you could win £1100 by betting £100 at 1xBet today if he is. Woody won’t be happy!
