What if there really was a Woody's Roundup show?

Then a well-worn Woody with a repaired arm would not be worth much. Even one in excellent to mint condition should not be too hard to find, compared to the Horse or an unopened Stinky Pete. That would be the real jewel of the collection.

Being the star of the show, there should have been tons of Woody's sold, like all of the Buzz Lightyears in the Toy Barn, so the large supply should keep the price down. The only thing that could have driven up the price of Woody would be if he was part of a series that was discontinued. For example:

His spurs could have been made of metal and could have sparked like Rollerblade Barbie.

He could have said something politically incorrect when you pulled his string, like talking Barbie ("Math is hard") or the swearing Furbie.

As shown in The 40 year old virgin, it was not the Six Million Dollar Man (Steve Austin) figure that is the most valuable, but the Oscar Goldman.

Woody was in the family for years, as Andy's mother points out. Woody toys probably weren't being sold anymore.

In Andy's point of view, Woody might have had high sentimental value, but for a collector,
it should not have been as hard to obtain a Woody, as opposed to a Stinky Pete still in the box.

Woody's Roundup Show was essentially a parody of the Howdy Doody Show, with it's marionette cowboy as the star. While a Hoody Doody is a collector's item, it is an even bigger prize if you can find a Clarabel, Buffalo Bob, or a Princess Summerfall.

On the other hand, Pete laments that he had to sit in his box and watch the other toys be sold while he got passed over. Perhaps they were produced in relatively equal numbers but all the Woodys got sold and are now only found loose and in varied condition, while Petes are easy to find in the box because back in the day no one bought them. At some point a large number of unopened ones made it into the market and were bought by collectors who kept them mint. That's just a theory.

If there had been most people wouldn't know about it. For instance I found out last year that there was a Superman live action movie in the 40s. It has never been released on DVD though.

If you mean the 1948 serial it's on DVD now.

Since we got the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV show, a Woody's Round Up TV show would've been cool.

I've said that before too. Since Woodys Round Up was an actual show, presumably there were lots of Woody dolls sold?

ThAt's a very good point, a Woody toy would be likely to be the easiest one to find, not the hardest. Stinky Pete would probably have been the least popular one, and the hardest to find,
