Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in the 2010 wave, the unique long-leg mold and specialized head have been retired for over a decade, increasing scarcity.
Head
Unique molded head specifically for Jessie. Features a specialized flesh-toned plastic, printed green eyes, red eyebrows, and a smiling mouth. It includes an attached red hair piece with a braid.
Torso
White torso with Western-style yoke printing in yellow and red. Includes silver buttons, a brown belt with a silver bull-head buckle, and white arms with light flesh hands.
Legs
Unique 'long legs' mold (taller than standard minifigure legs). Features blue hip and leg base with cow-print chaps and brown boot printing at the base.
Accessories
Red cowgirl hat with white stitching detail (Part 88295). This hat is specifically molded to fit Jessie's unique head shape.
Color Scheme
A vibrant palette of white, blue, and yellow with red accents to match the character's cowgirl aesthetic from the Pixar films.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and extensive leg printing for the cow-print chaps. The alignment on the chaps is a common point of interest for collectors.
Variants
The 2010 version (toy003) features the long-leg mold and stylized head. A newer version (toy021) was released in 2019 with a standard minifigure head and standard-length legs.
Condition Notes
The red hat is prone to loose fitment over time. Check for paint rubbing on the nose of the molded head and silver buckle printing. Stress marks can occur at the hip joints of the unique long legs.
Estimated Value
New/Sealed: $30-$40. Used Complete: $18-$25. Figures in mint condition with the hat command a premium.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $14.99 (7596) up to $79.99 (7594). Not sold individually.

Character Background
Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl first appeared in Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2. She is part of Woody's Roundup gang and became a core member of Andy's toy group.
Design Notes
Part of the experimental 'stylized' era where Disney characters were given unique head molds and elongated limbs to better match movie proportions, a trend later abandoned for traditional minifigure styles.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
High. LEGO's decision to move away from specialized molds makes these 2010 variants highly desirable for 'purist' collectors of the original movie designs.
History
Debuted with the 2010 Toy Story line which celebrated the release of Toy Story 3. It marked LEGO's first collaboration with Pixar characters in minifigure form.
Interesting Facts
The 'long legs' used for Jessie and Woody make them approximately 2 plates taller than a standard minifigure. This part has only ever been used for Toy Story and the Avatar (Navi) themes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the 2010 Woody and Bullseye. Use a UV-protected case as the red plastic of the hat and hair can fade under direct sunlight.
Modification Potential
Low modification potential due to the unique head and leg molds; standard minifigure hair and hats will not fit this head piece.
Overall Assessment
An iconic piece of LEGO history that captures the 'stylized' era of the 2010s perfectly. A must-have for Disney collectors due to its unique silhouette and retired molds.
