Mattel Toy Story 5 Multipack: Jessie and Double A Team Figures Reviewed
Mattel’s latest offering for Toy Story fans is a multipack that pairs Jessie with the “Double A Team” — a pair of smaller, articulated figures from the upcoming film. At around $25 for three figures, it lands in the budget-to-midrange zone for action figure multipacks. But as with any licensed product, the value depends heavily on what you expect from it.
Let’s start with how these figures actually feel in hand. Jessie is the standout: she’s about 7 inches tall, matches the animation style well, and has enough joints to hold a lasso pose or sit comfortably on a shelf. The plastic is solid, not cheaply thin, and the paint application on her face and boots is clean — no sloppy edges or off-register eyes. The Double A Team figures are smaller, around 4 inches, with fewer points of articulation. They’re meant to be sidekicks, and they function fine as such, but don’t expect them to match Jessie’s detail level.
In real-world use, these are primarily display pieces or gentle play items. The articulation on Jessie is decent: ball-jointed head, swivel shoulders, hinged elbows, and cut thighs. She can hold a dynamic pose, but the hips are a bit stiff out of the box, and the knee joints on our review sample had some resistance that required careful manipulation. For a child who wants to reenact scenes, this might be fine, but for collectors who expect smooth movement, it’s a minor annoyance. The Double A Team figures have even simpler joints — mostly swivel at the neck and shoulders — so they’re more static.
A key limitation here is the lack of accessories. You get the three figures and that’s it. No lasso for Jessie, no extra hands, no stands. For the price, this feels a bit thin compared to, say, a similar-priced Marvel Legends multipack that often includes build-a-figure parts or multiple accessories. If you’re a die-hard Toy Story collector, you might not mind, but for casual buyers, it’s worth noting that you’re paying mostly for the license and the brand name.
Compared to other playscale figures in this range — like the basic Jakks Pacific line for kids or the more premium Nendoroid imports — these Mattel figures sit in a middle ground. They’re more detailed than a cheap kid’s toy but less refined than a collector-grade statue. The plastic feels durable enough for light play, but the joints on the smaller figures are a bit loose, which could lead to floppy limbs over time if handled roughly.
Who is this for? It’s best suited for Toy Story fans who want a decent display piece for a shelf or a desk, especially if they’re excited about the upcoming movie. It also works for older children (ages 5 and up) who will pose them carefully rather than swing them around. It’s less ideal for serious action figure collectors who prioritize articulation or accessories, or for very young children who might break the smaller figures or get frustrated with the stiff joints. Also, if you’re looking for a full playset or a vehicle, this multipack won’t scratch that itch — it’s purely figures.
One trade-off worth mentioning: the packaging is collector-friendly, with a window box and easy-open tabs, but the figures are secured with many twist ties. Removing them without damaging the cardboard backing is tricky if you plan to keep the box mint. For in-box collectors, that’s a plus; for those who open everything, it’s just extra work.
Overall, this multipack delivers what it promises: three recognizable characters from the Toy Story universe at a reasonable price. It doesn’t exceed expectations, but it also doesn’t disappoint. If you’re on the fence, consider whether you really need both of the Double A Team figures — if only Jessie appeals to you, a single figure pack might be a better value. But as a set, it’s a solid, no-frills addition to a fan’s collection.
