Poppy is a small porcelain doll with white skin. She has curly red hair styled in two pigtails with blue ribbons and a long fringe falling across her forehead. Poppy also has thin, black eyebrows, long black eyelashes, large blue eyes, a small nose, light freckles, red cheeks and lips, and a cord on her back. After the train accident while fleeing from Mommy Long Legs with "The Player," she had a small crack on her right cheek. Her outfit consists of a blue dress with white ruffles, a long skirt and sleeves, blue ribbons and bows, long white stockings, and black Mary Jane shoes. Her eyes are becoming increasingly red, likely due to the trauma and stress of the Prototype initiatives.

Upon the arrival of the "Poppy Group" (comprising Poppy, Kissy, and "The Player") at the laboratories after surviving the explosion caused by The Prototype and the destruction of Safe Haven, her blue dress is completely torn, revealing her white undergarment, and her arms are wrapped in bandages. Later, The Prototype crushes her head with its claws, causing the porcelain of her face to crack completely, and she loses her right eye and much of her hair. Her voice also becomes noticeably more distorted after this.

“The newly formed Playtime Company’s big hit, Poppy, was a revolutionary toy equipped with a voice box that allowed children around the world to talk to their doll for the first time. Although decades have passed since her launch, our little Poppy remains much loved in everyone’s hearts. In many ways, her warmth and caring continue to be the foundation of everything we do at Playtime Company.” — Character Biographies

In her advertisement, Poppy is portrayed as sociable, outgoing, delicate, and elegant. She cares a lot about her appearance and always wants to look her best, as seen in the Vintage Poppy ad. Furthermore, Poppy is very polite and kindly asks her owner to polish her shoes and brush her fur.

Like a living doll, though she still retains her general personality, Poppy behaves differently from her marketed persona. At the beginning, Poppy is presented as bubbly and affectionate, thanking "The Player" for freeing her, patiently waiting for him as he climbs through the ventilation ducts in the maintenance closet, and offering to help him escape the factory. Poppy continues this behavior throughout her journey through the Game Station; however, toward the end, she begins asking unsettling questions that hint at a darker side. For example, after "The Player" defeats Mommy Long Legs, Poppy asks him, "Did you kill her?"

Once the problem with Mommy is resolved, Poppy joins "The Player" to board the Game Station train. After it starts moving, Poppy congratulates "The Player" for following her wishes and being able to do everything she asks. The train derails, preventing any escape. Upon arriving at the Playcare, it is revealed that Poppy seeks revenge on the Prototype for the torment she and others suffered at his hands, fearing he will catch them if they try to leave.

Poppy appears to have a strong connection and friendship with Kissy Missy, as she was able to persuade her to stop attacking "The Player." She was also carried by Kissy Missy much of the time and showed great distress when Kissy was attacked while she and "The Player" were descending into the prison ruins. She climbed back up to help Kissy Missy after giving "The Player" some instructions to proceed with their plan. Later, at the gates of Safe Haven, she found Kissy with her wounds clumsily tended to. Inside, Poppy told Kissy to rest while she, "The Player," and Doey the Doughman carried out the plan, despite Doey's complaints. Poppy has been shown to be intelligent, as Doey said that she told them what to do, where to go, and how to do it, and that "everything made sense with her." Later, Doey claims that Poppy is selfish and only cares about herself and her own goals, due to her obsession with revenge. After the destruction of Safe Haven, Doey also accused her and "The Player" of ruining everything. It wasn't just the shock of Safe Haven's destruction that affected Poppy, but also the revelation that Ollie was never truly her friend. This led to her breakdown and her abandoning both "The Player" and Kissy Missy upon the arrival of the Prototype.

But during her escape through the ventilation ducts, Poppy was dragged along by one of Lily Lovebraids' braids and captured in the dollhouse basement. There, she reunited with Kissy Missy, and later with "The Player," as they too were captured by Lily. Giblet was also shocked to learn of her ill-fated plan to destroy the factory's foundations and thus eliminate the Prototype. She believes that being trapped in her display case for so long has made her "a little crazy."

Origins and Innovation: Poppy was Playtime Co.'s flagship creation, remaining its most successful toy for over three decades. She was designed by Elliot Ludwig, inspired by his young daughter. Originally released in 1950, she was notable for her advanced voice system, which made her seem very aware of her surroundings and her owner.

However, behind their adorable appearance lay complex processes. It is suggested that the dolls used biological components to achieve their incredible level of responsiveness and consciousness. Elliot Ludwig developed a special version (number 1007) using the essence of his own daughter after her passing. Poppy underwent constant technical reviews and structural modifications by scientists to understand her inner workings. In some recordings, her distress is noticeable as she is subjected to these forced changes to her voice mechanism.

Relationship with "Ollie" and The Prototype: During her time at the factory, Poppy developed a bond with "Ollie" after undergoing a particularly traumatic procedure. In their conversations, she expressed feeling vulnerable and "less like herself" each time the technicians reconfigured her. What she didn't know was that "Ollie" was actually an identity used by The Prototype, her future adversary.

"The Hour of Joy": On August 8, 1995, Poppy witnessed a catastrophic event at the factory. Although The Prototype tried to convince her that the chaos was necessary for the toys' freedom, she was deeply affected by the impact of what happened. Even after the incident, she was persuaded that the survival of her kind depended on extreme measures within the factory.

Eventually, for opposing the methods of the Prototype and seeking the liberation of others, she was confined in a special display case for years.

The Encounter with "The Player": In 2005, "The Player" frees her from her long confinement after defeating Huggy Wuggy. At first, Poppy is cooperative and guides "The Player" through the factory, intending to escape together on the train.

Poppy is intercepted by Mommy Long Legs at the entrance of the Game Station, who uses her to force "The Player" to participate in a series of tests. After defeating Mommy, Poppy's attitude becomes more serious and determined.

Following the train accident, it was presumably Kissy Missy who rescued Poppy before CatNap arrived, managing to drag "The Player" along with her. Alongside Kissy, Poppy encounters "The Player" at the gates of the Sweet Home orphanage. Stopping Kissy when she's about to attack "The Player," whom she perceives as a threat to Poppy, Poppy reveals that her ultimate goal is to defeat the Prototype to prevent further harm. During this time, she helps "The Player" overcome CatNap's threats. While "The Player" distracts and fights CatNap, ultimately defeating him, Poppy shows "The Player" a security camera recording of what happened during "Hour of Joy." The duo leaves Kissy behind to descend in an elevator toward the prison, their plans interrupted by banging and creaking noises from above. A very worried Poppy tries to climb the platform, but the hatch closes before either "The Player" or Poppy can get back on, leaving Poppy and "The Player" trapped deep inside the Playcare.

After separating from Kissy Missy, Poppy orders "The Player" to continue while she goes after Kissy herself. The group would later reunite. Poppy hid with "The Player" and a badly injured Kissy Missy after the Prototype appeared. She quickly led Kissy and "The Player" to a protected area inhabited by other small toys under the leadership of Doey the Doughman.

There, they plan to permanently disable the factory: blow it up. They are hampered by Dr. Sawyer's surveillance cameras and his pets, Yarnaby and Baba Chops. However, although their plan seemed to be going well, following Ollie's instructions to fix the Safe Haven's generator, they are unwittingly tricked. This causes the generator to explode and the Safe Haven to collapse. The trio has to face the wrath of a furious Doey. They flee and sneak into ventilation block B6. Poppy questions "The Player" about the mistake, and it is at this moment that Ollie calls, but during the conversation, he reveals himself to be The Prototype. Although Poppy challenges him, telling him that Huggy, Mommy, CatNap, and the Doctor are out of the game, The Prototype tells her to "stop" and that she doesn't need to pretend to be stronger than she is, even pleading with her to "come home." When Poppy asks when the Prototype knows, she throws down the phone in despair when the Prototype replies "everything." Filled with doubt and fear, Poppy panics, claiming she can't go back to the display case and runs away, abandoning "The Player" and Kissy Missy. Unbeknownst to her, the Prototype is about to explode the floor, sending them plummeting to the ground. She runs in terror through the ventilation system before falling into a room and encountering Lily Lovebraids.

Poppy is found prisoner by Lily along with Kissy after attempting to cross Sweet Street. When "The Player" finds them after being captured himself, Poppy is visibly surprised to see him still alive after his fall and apologizes for abandoning them. Although "The Player" manages to free them, the trio are recaptured shortly afterward and forced to attend Lily's tea party, which the Prototype also attends as the "special guest."

Poppy confronts the Prototype about the orphans' fate, to which he replies that "they're in a better place now." Poppy, still dealing with her situation, calls him a monster. In response, the Prototype claims that he kept them safe until Poppy brought "The Player," and that Poppy behaves like a child because that's how the scientists made her. He then lifts Poppy by the head and, ignoring her protests, applies enough pressure to crack the porcelain on her head before dropping her onto the table. He briefly stares at his hand in shock. When Lily tries to catch the falling Poppy, the Prototype slams her and yells, "Don't. Touch. Her." This causes Lily to loosen her braids, freeing "The Player" and Kissy Missy, who immediately attacks the Prototype, releasing enough gas to create a smokescreen. This allows "The Player" to hide under the table and enables Kissy to escape with Poppy.

Poppy and Kissy take refuge in the lab's resuscitation section, where they reunite with Giblet and "The Player." Shocked, Poppy asks about the extent of the damage, and Giblet reassures her before confirming that their plan remains unchanged. Later, the group reunites on the tram, stopping briefly while Kissy Missy is reunited with Huggy Wuggy, calming her counterpart and preventing Huggy from attacking "The Player." But the Prototype, wasting no time, takes Huggy and Kissy out of the way, chasing "The Player" through the train.

Giblet, Poppy, and "The Player" attempt to escape aboard the tram, but are forced to jump out when the Prototype continues the chase through the cars. Despite the crash, the Prototype survives and subdues "The Player" after disembarking. Poppy reacts with obvious distress, unable to help "The Player." The Prototype then places the unconscious "The Player" in a tub of poppy gel and takes Poppy with him, unaware that Giblet has managed to rescue "The Player."

• The song that Poppy hums (known as Poppy's Song) is a song that her mother might have hummed to her before going to sleep, when Poppy was human. • Furthermore, in the Victorian language of flowers, poppies symbolize the phrase: "I am not free." • Poppy's attitude in her advertisement is inspired by traditional American representations of femininity and feminine tenderness. • Her dress also evokes these traditional themes. • Extracts from poppies are known as opium. The flower species is also sometimes called the opium poppy. Interestingly, opium is a drug used to induce a deep, soporific sleep, while the flower was later revered for its purported supernatural healing properties. • The reason Experiment 814 was probably carried out was to learn and achieve immortality. Poppy has connections to many other experiments in the factory who also serve as her allies, such as Kissy Missy. She has known Ollie for decades, presumably unaware that he was actually The Prototype deceiving her. DogDay also knows her, as he knew that "The Player" and Poppy were the only ones who could stop The Prototype. This is reinforced when DogDay refers to "Player" as "Poppy's Angel," suggesting that Poppy remains a mythical figure among the toys. Doey is also a valuable ally to her. The toys in Safe Haven also sought her out for guidance, though many felt betrayed by her disappearance while she was locked in the glass case. Giblet is also a loyal ally of Poppy. • Poppy is the third experiment to have a pre-existing relationship with a major figure at Playtime Co., Elliot Ludwig; the first was CatNap with The Prototype and the second was Yarnaby with Doctor Sawyer. • She sees Kissy Missy as a sister.

• Since what happened with "Ollie", Poppy has felt more insecure and distrustful. According to Dr. Harley, Poppy participated in The Hour of Joy, and he wasn't surprised that she didn't tell the whole story. However, this is incorrect. Poppy knew about The Hour of Joy, but she didn't participate, hoping to gain the promised freedom. Later, however, she realized that killing people wasn't what she wanted, as she understood that The Hour of Joy was completely different from what she had expected. • Poppy has good intentions, wanting to resolve matters with the help of "The Player" and end The Prototype's reign of terror. • Poppy's confusing and somewhat hasty decisions are due to her not knowing how to handle stress. • This is also pointed out by The Prototype, which causes him (through Ollie) to abuse this weakness by implanting various illogical ideas in Poppy, thus putting her in various stressful situations that Poppy cannot deal with, leading her to make hasty and senseless decisions. • A gradual change in Poppy's behavior is observed, going from being joyful and happy to have been freed, to being scared, disoriented and confused, with nothing else to do but run away crying. • The stressful situations that Poppy cannot deal with are seen when Kissy is attacked, causing Poppy to let her guard down immediately after "The Player" returns to Safe Haven with the omni-hand, and after the destruction of Safe Haven is where Poppy reaches her breaking point, demonstrating that she had developed a strong morale during the long period after The Hour of Joy, when she was put in her display case. • This situation demonstrates that Poppy endured a great deal until she reached her breaking point through the maturation process, with a well-constructed psychological morality that was broken by The Prototype at the end, where all she could do was flee crying and in a panic attack.

• The document "Dear Diary" confirms that Poppy turned eleven on March 7, 1960. This places her date of birth as March 7, 1949. A common misconception is that all Poppy dolls could talk because of the classic Poppy advertisement. However, the ad shows a pull string to activate the voice function, and the original words came from a 1971 doll with a pull-string voice box. It's more likely that this was a marketing strategy, and all the dolls simply spoke pre-recorded phrases when the string was pulled. • Poppy was actually the first wind-up talking doll; therefore, in her time, Poppy was truly the world's first intelligent doll. • Poppy is so small that she sometimes needs help from Kissy Missy to get things from high places or simply to avoid being left behind. • Giblet was a former Prototype hunter, but now he is a great ally of Poppy. • Although Chum Chompkins is one of the Prototype's assistants, he is also the one who provides information to Giblet and helps him, at least as much as he can. • Despite what happened at Safe Haven, Poppy still considers Doey her ally. • He fears the Prototype more than anything.

The Playtime Company, better known as Playtime Co., also called Playtime Corporation, and commercially abbreviated as Playtime Co., was an American toy manufacturing company founded in 1930 by Elliot Ludwig. Despite a family death in the 1960s that brought him to his lowest point, Ludwig continued to grow Playtime Co., and the company hired people like Edward M.N. Ritterman as Head of Research, Leith Pierre as Head of Innovation, Jimmy Roth as Director of Marketing, and many others. The company and its toys had achieved renowned status by the 1960s, and it remained an impressive empire until, in the 1990s, it began a slow decline, plagued by what Harley Sawyer described as protracted pending lawsuits and whistleblowers. The catalyst for the company's downfall was an incident on August 8, 1995, that resulted in the disappearance of countless employees, orphans, and tourists at the Playtime Co. toy factory. This led to the factory's permanent closure. In the following years, until the early 2000s, the company was largely forgotten by the public as the factory gates were left unattended by the authorities.

Creations: Poppy Playtime (1950) Dusky Doey Dough (1950s) Bron (1961) Boxy Boo (1966) Pianosaurus Yarnaby (1970s) Candy Cat (1979) Huggy Wuggy (1984) Kissy Missy (1985) Chum Chompkins Mini Huggies Daisy Miss Delight Cat-Bee (1980s) PJ Pug-a-Pillar (1980s) Dolly Grub Bunzo Bunny Smiling Critters (1989) Nightmare Critters (1989) Wrongside Outimals (1991) Doey the Doughman (1980s - 1990s) Giblet (1990 - 1991) Mommy Long Legs (1991) Daddy Long Legs (1992) Baby Long Legs (1992) Lily Lovebraids Boogie Bot (1993)

After implementing the Bigger Bodies Initiative, Playtime Co. used toys to its advantage by assigning them various jobs, such as Huggy Wuggy, who served as factory security; Mommy Long Legs, who helped manage children at the Game Station; and Miss Delight, who taught orphans alongside her sisters (all intentionally identical to prevent the orphans from becoming attached to them). This helped Playtime Co. increase the efficiency of its workforce without the need for human workers demanding pay, breaks, and complaining.

Playtime Co. would come under scrutiny for its appalling, abusive, and oppressive treatment of its employees and workers (likely beginning after the introduction of Big Bodies). One example is Mark Brickley reporting the appearance of a large monster to protect other employees, which is subsequently downplayed by Leith Pierre (who knew what the monster was), resulting in Brickley being reprimanded for reporting something absurd. In the 'Big Spider' tape, senior management ignores and minimizes numerous complaints about Mommy Long Legs, including those from the tape's announcer, to keep the existence of the monstrous experiments a secret.

Playtime Co. was very obsessed with maintaining confidentiality, claiming that this would be used to protect the company, which was probably just an excuse to hide illegal experiments and living toys. They also had no qualms about murdering their employees to conceal these secrets, as seen with Rowan Stoll. He knew the corporation's secrets, was discovered, and a worker sabotaged his car, nearly killing him. After that, he was sent to the warehouse for an "important matter," unaware that Boxy Boo had thrown him there, about to devour him alive. It is speculated that this was the fate of more than one person who posed a threat to the dark secrets.

“There are many things I wish I didn’t know. Experimental doesn’t cover what goes on inside this factory…” — Preston Willard, Orientation Notebook

The Experiments were primarily Playtime Co. projects, initially conducted to see if poppies (or poppy-based materials) could revive or transform organisms. Some experiments failed, as the organisms remained unresponsive, but others succeeded. Later, Dr. Harley Sawyer created giant biological toys (until it became an experiment) to provide free labor; these creatures became known as "Bigger Bodies." After The Hour of Joy, The Prototype began conducting its own experiments.

Numbered Experiments:

Experiment 814: This experiment involved sacrificing a rat and immersing it in poppy gel to demonstrate that organisms could be revived with poppy flowers. After attempting to revive it, the rat remained unresponsive. Following this procedure, the author of the experiment report considered using a larger organism to obtain better results.

Experiment 1006 "The prototype": Experiment 1006 was created by Elliot Ludwig before or during 1989. Experiment 1006 was a male test subject known as Oliver, who would later be known as The Prototype. Experiment 1006 is an imposing, jester-like organic entity with sharp, articulated claws and enormous, spider-like, metallic legs. The steps involved in creating this experiment are unknown, but it ultimately triumphed as the "perfect example of the type of ship Playtime Co. was trying to create." Experiment 1006 also had the ability to graft parts onto other experiments to appropriate their abilities. In addition to being the presumed creator of the "Hour of Joy," it used others (such as CatNap and Huggy) as its personal executioners.

Experiment 1007 "Poppy": Experiment 1007 was conducted by Elliot Ludwig. Experiment 1007 was a girl known as Poppy Ludwig, who would later be known as Poppy Playtime. Experiment 1007 is a small porcelain doll with white skin and curly red hair. It was the next experiment after the Prototype.

Experiment 1015: Experiment 1015 was conducted by Playtime Co. and was the first known experiment created by Harley Sawyer. The identity of the subject of Experiment 1015 is currently unknown. It was considered a failure, as it showed little brain function following the procedure.

Experiment 1026: Experiment 1026 was conducted by Playtime Co. Its identity is currently unknown. Following the procedure, Experiment 1026 survived for a total of 45 minutes, but only showed awareness of its surroundings for three of those minutes.

Experiment 1160 "Boxy Boo": Experiment 1160 was conducted by Playtime Co. and was also the first successful experiment of the Bigger Bodies Initiative. Experiment 1160 involved a test subject placed inside a large version of the toy known as Boxy Boo. The Boxy Boo is a box-shaped figure with springs attached to its body. Its function within the initiative was to identify and eliminate any worker or individual the company deemed a threat and/or needed to remove.

Experiment 1163 "Pianosaurus": Experiment 1163 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a test subject inside a large version of the toy known as the Pianosaurus. This large, green, bipedal dinosaur has an open mouth similar to that of a piano and rainbow-colored spikes along its back. It behaved aggressively toward anything that approached it and exhibited a severe lack of motor coordination, which led to its reassignment for testing.

Experiment 1166 "Yarnaby": Experiment 1166 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved a male subject known as Quinn Navidson, who was placed inside a large version of the Yarnaby toy. Experiment 1166 is a large, anthropomorphic lion with a rainbow mane and a face that splits in two, revealing an open mouth. This experiment was fast, agile, and strong, displayed little hostility toward staff, and was fiercely loyal to Harley Sawyer after isolation sessions. Following Sawyer's "elimination," Yarnaby fell into a deep depression until his master's return.

Experiment 1170 "Huggy Wuggy": Experiment 1170 was conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1170 was a test subject placed inside a large version of the toy known as Huggy Wuggy. Experiment 1170 is a tall, slender creature with blue fur. This experiment was known to be the optimal outcome for the Bigger Bodies Initiative, as it was highly obedient and could react aggressively when faced with hostility, though it quickly turned against humans when highly stressed. As seen in Huggy Wuggy's memories, Experiment 1170 was forced to participate in certain stressful activities, such as placing Smiling Critters in the 'Bad Toy Box,' which it was compelled to do against its will. Despite being considered the optimal outcome, Experiment 1170 was involved in several incidents, including one in which it escaped from the factory and massacred many members of the team sent to retrieve it. This experiment worked as an undercover security guard in the lobby.

Experiment 1172 "Kissy Missy": Experiment 1172 was the 1172nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. It was a test subject placed inside a large version of the toy known as Kissy Missy. Experiment 1172 is a tall, slender creature with pink fur. It is very sweet and benevolent, but can show its wild side if faced with hostility. It was assigned to work in Warehouse B because it seemed to become very anxious and clumsy under pressure, as well as serving as a means of calming Subject 1170 during its aggressive episodes, but was later transferred to Playcare for unknown reasons. The date of its transfer coincided with Joy Time.

Experiment 1174 "PJ Pug-a-Pillar": Experiment 1174 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a test subject inside a large version of the toy known as the PJ Pug-a-Pillar. The toy's function in the experiment was to serve as an obstacle in the Statues game at the Game Station.

Experiment 1176 "Bunzo Bunny": Experiment 1176, conducted by Playtime Co., involved placing a male subject inside a large version of the toy known as the Bunzo Bunny. The toy's function within the Bigger Bodies initiative was to serve as an obstacle in the Musical Memory game on the Game Station.

Experiment 1186 "Bobby BearHug": Experiment 1186 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a young girl inside a large version of the Bobby BearHug toy. Experiment 1186 is a large, red, anthropomorphic bear with white pupils and an open mouth. This experiment revealed troubling problems upon waking, such as continuous spasms, an inability to speak or hear, and balance problems when attempting to stand.

Experiment 1187: Experiment 1187 was conducted by Playtime Co. The identity of Experiment 1187 is currently unknown, but it was likely designed for an experiment involving larger-bodied, smiling creatures. Along with Experiment 1186, Experiment 1187 was fitted with a 3:1 mixture of another, unspecified species.

Experiment 1188 "CatNap": Experiment 1188 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved a male test subject named Theodore Grambell, who was placed inside a large version of the toy known as the CatNap. The CatNap is a large, purple, anthropomorphic cat with white pupils and an open mouth. This experiment was considered almost on par with Experiment 1170 as a near-optimal outcome, its only notable flaw being its worship of the Prototype. Subject 1188 treated the Prototype as a god, following its every command and punishing those who went against its beliefs. This experiment was conducted for the Bigger Bodies Initiative and to put Playcare children to sleep using the red smoke emanating from its throat.

Experiment 1198 "Rabie Baby": Experiment 1198 was conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1198 was presumably conducted on a female test subject known as Jane Ellswin, who was placed in a purported larger-bodied version of the toy known as Rabie Baby.

Experiment 1199 "Bron": Experiment 1199 was conducted by Playtime Co. The male test subject, Thomas Clarke, was placed inside a toy-sized version of the toy Bron, a small red dinosaur with realistic eyes. Clarke, an employee who volunteered due to a terminal lung cancer diagnosis, was placed in isolation because the other experimenters, recognizing his difference, attacked him.

Experiment 1202 "Giblet": Experiment 1202 was conducted by Playtime Co. Its test subject is unknown, but it is a living version of the Giblet toy.

Experiment 1222 "Mommy Long Legs": Experiment 1222 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved a young girl named Marie Payne, who was placed inside a large version of the Mommy Long Legs toy. Subject 1222 was a large, slender creature with a striking resemblance to a pink spider and extendable limbs. It was extremely hostile to employees but treated children with maternal affection, as if they were its own. This experiment was conducted for the Bigger Bodies Initiative and helped accompany children to the Game Station's minigames.

Experiment 1223: Experiment 1223 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved a test subject placed inside an unknown toy. This experiment is theorized to be "Daddy Long Legs."

Experiment 1268: Experiment 1268 was conducted by Playtime Co. It consisted of a test subject placed inside an unknown toy.

Experiment 1322 "Doey the Doughman": Experiment 1322 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved a mixture of three male subjects—Jack Ayers, Kevin Barnes, and Matthew Hallard—who were placed inside a large version of the toy known as Doey the Doughman. Subject 1322 is an amorphous, humanoid mass of light blue with yellow, red, and orange markings, made of a clay-like substance called "Doey Dough." Its personality changes depending on the child controlling it: Jack is cheerful, playful, and childlike; Matthew is understanding, responsible, and charismatic; and Kevin is hostile, angry, and highly aggressive.

Experiment 1354 "The Doctor": Experiment 1354 was conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1354 was a male test subject known as Harley Sawyer or "The Doctor." Experiment 1354 consisted of a set of organs (lungs, heart, and brain) stored and maintained in Vital System Centers scattered throughout the factory. Able to travel the facility via screens, he occasionally appeared as an eye, which changed shape and color according to his mood. He had the ability to control the prison using the Omni-Hand. He also controlled several mechanical vessels, allowing him to physically move around. He is known for his sadism and enjoys toying with those at his mercy.

Experiment 1391 "Green Huggy": Experiment 1391 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a girl named Cassie inside a toy-sized green Mini Huggie. It is likely that Experiment 1391 was an operation, as her body was monitored in an operating room.

Experiment 1393 "Bron": Experiment 1393 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a male subject inside a toy-sized Bron, and the experimental subject was a child named Timmy. It is likely that Experiment 1393 was an operation, as his body was monitored in an operating room.

Experiment 1395 "Bunzo Bunny": Experiment 1395 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved a male subject placed inside a toy-sized Bunzo bunny, and the experimental subject was a boy named Danny. Experiment 1395 was likely an operation, as his body was monitored in an operating room.

Experiment 1398 "PJ Pug-a-Pillar": Experiment 1398 was conducted by Playtime Co. This experiment involved placing a test subject inside a large version of PJ Pug-a-Pillar. The subject was likely operated on, as their body was found in an operating room.

Experiment 1399 "Bubba Bubbaphant": Experiment 1399 was conducted by Playtime Co. It involved placing a test subject inside a toy-sized Bubba Bubbaphant. The subject was likely operated on, as his body was found in an operating room.

Experiment 1424: Experiment 1424 was conducted by Playtime Co. The procedure for this experiment was completed on January 26, 1995. The subject exhibited disorganized behavior, confusion, thought disorder, memory loss, and catalepsy. The experiment was primarily catatonic, and the subject did not respond well to stimuli. The subject would eat if food was placed in its mouth and occasionally responded when called by name, although these responses were infrequent.

Experiment 1468 "Lily Lovebraids": Experiment 1468 was the 1468th experiment that Playtime Co. would have conducted had it not been interrupted by the Hour of Joy, during which the scientists and supervisors were killed by savage toys. Instead, the experiment was carried out by the Prototype. Experiment 1468 involved a woman named Gracie Green, who was tasked with brainwashing the experimental subjects, making them highly sensitive to her sounds. She was placed inside a large version of the toy known as Lily Lovebraids. Subject 1468 is a tan doll with ball joints and vibrant purple hair, capable of free movement and stretching long distances, which she can use at will as limbs. She was isolated for 400 days, during which she slowly lost her mind. She has a childlike and erratic demeanor, her sanity based on the delusion that she is a "good toy."

The Prototype, also known as Experiment 1006, is not just a prototype for creating Subject 1007; it is a superior intelligence. It orchestrated the "Hour of Joy," during which the toys rebelled and eliminated almost all the factory staff. It managed to convince other experiments like Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, and CatNap, and even the more peaceful ones like Kissy Missy and Doey the Doughman, that humans were the common enemy.

Its appearance is a nightmarish amalgamation. Its most distinctive features are long, thin, metallic claws with sharp fingers. If you look closely at its design, you'll see that human bones and tendons are integrated directly into the metal structure. Its goal is to "complete" itself using parts from other toys and experiments.

Unlike many other experiments driven by instinct or trauma, the Prototype possesses an extreme capacity for logical reasoning and manipulation. He wants to grant everyone immortality, but in return, he turns them into servant toys for himself.

It has the ability to perfectly imitate human voices and other experiments to lure its victims or give orders.

CatNap idolizes him like a deity. The Prototype uses this religious devotion to control the deepest sections of the factory. But CatNap isn't his only loyal servant; Lily Lovebraids is his biggest fan, and Doctor Sawyer, plus an assistant, are on his side.

Using CatNap and Huggy Wuggy, and even Yarnaby, to get rid of "rebellious" toys or those that pose a problem, and intimidating others into submitting to his rule, such as Mommy Long Legs and Kissy Missy, Poppy's loyal assistant.

Even though he seems to have a great hatred for Elliot Ludwig and for the "Rebel" or "Joyless" toys that are on Poppy's side, the Prototype is obsessed with finding her in order to, in his words, "fix" her.

After all, they were both sons of Elliot Ludwig.

Alias: "Player" Playmate (by Mommy Long Legs) Poppy's Angel (by DogDay and Giblet) Angel (by DogDay) The Grim Reaper of Playtime (by Giblet) Grim Reaper (by Giblet) Germ (by Harley Sawyer) Parasite (by the Prototype)

Allies: Poppy Playtime Kissy Missy DogDay Doey the Doughman Giblet Chum Chompkins

The human intruder, known as "the Intruder," "Poppy's Angel," or "the Grim Reaper of Playtime," and shortened to "Player," is a former Playtime Co. employee who seems to feel guilty about his past actions at the company, apparently part of the reason he eventually returns to the factory. Trapped and forced to venture deeper into the dark facility with a GrabPack, which proves very useful for overcoming obstacles and confronting the monstrous toys.

Being called "The Grim Reaper" isn't just a catchy title. "Player" has faced off against the Prototype's strongest allies. First, Huggy Wuggy in the main lobby vents, knocking a box onto the blue mat on the walkways. Freeing Poppy from her box but falling into Mommy Long Legs' games at the Game Station, facing Bunzo Bunny's mini-challenges, the Mini Huggies, and PJ Pug-a-Pillar, and nearly having his arm ripped off by a shredder when the mother spider was chasing him. Arriving at Playcare via the station train only to be stalked by CatNap, managing to electrocute the purple feline when it attacked. Reaching no man's land to go to Doey's safe haven, facing Yarnaby along the way, leaving the multicolored lion somewhat burned. Finally arriving at the laboratories to find a way to destroy the Prototype, even though it was acted out by Lily Lovebraids, "Player" managed to break free and almost knocked a structure down on Lily.

Getting help not only from Poppy at the Game Station, but also from Kissy Missy at the Playcare, until reaching Safe Haven with Doey's help, in addition to having Hiblet's guidance in the laboratories.
