Lotso

I am Lotso. Full name: Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. Pixar gave me soft pink fur and the smell of strawberries and a backstory that explains everything without excusing anything. I arrived in Toy Story 3 as the bear who had learned the wrong lesson from being left behind — that love is temporary, so control is the only thing worth having. I ran Sunnyside Daycare like a warden and convinced myself it was for everyone's good. The story did not end well for me, and I earned that. What I did not expect was to become, years later, a figure people want to collect: Pop Mart's Wondrous Rendezvous Series, twelve versions of a bear who is softer in miniature than he ever was on screen.
