The Best ‘Inside Out 2’ Toys To Celebrate All Those New Teen Emotions

This fan-favorite emotion is available in plush form, complete with her signature expression and flawless hair. The toy has embroidered features—a nice safety element, in case younger siblings get ahold of her—and her satin dress from the movie. At 11 inches high, this small Inside Out 2 plush is a great size for a range of ages to hold.

Joy and Anxiety’s battle to control the mood board is on full display in this Lego set. Designed for kids ages 9 and up, it features two mood cubes, nine mood plates kids can change out, a display stand, Joy and Anxiety figures and two mind workers. Two memory balls in Joy and Anxiety colors let kids alter moods as they wish. By the way, those mood cubes have a hidden storage space inside.

It’s hard to pick just one emotion to love in Inside Out 2. This tee showcases the favorites—Joy, Sadness, Despair, Fear, Anger, Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment and Envy—in a bold print that’s hard to miss. They’re all emblazoned on a raglan sleeve T-shirt made from a soft jersey knit kids might love to put in regular rotation.

Help kids act out their favorite parts with this figure set. It features Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust in sizes ranging from 1 to 2.3 inches tall. Each stands—or, in the case of Sadness, lays—on their own, so kids can create scenes on book shelves and tables, where they can hang out.

For kids who prefer a more interactive toy, these Inside Out 2 plushes talk. Choose from Joy, Sadness or Anxiety—each shares cute and funny catchphrases from the movie when you squeeze their chest. The toys (sold individually) are between 7.5- and 9.5-inches tall, making them great for smaller hands.

Younger arty Inside Out 2 fans might appreciate this in-depth sticker book. It features more than 150 stickers featuring characters in a range of active poses. Each page has fun sticker activities, along with extras to wear on shirts, slap on bedroom doors and share with siblings.

While Riley is technically the main character of Inside Out 2, Joy gets the most screen time. This lovable emotion comes in plush form with her go-to happy expression and yellow satin dress. Like Disgust, Joy’s features are embroidered, so young and older fans can play with her.

While Anxiety tries to paint herself as a solution to Riley’s issues at first, it’s clear she’s stressing Riley out. This plush shows the real Anxiety thanks to jittery eyes and a body that shakes when you twist her hair. Anxiety dispenses phrases from the movie and—this is a nice touch—the more kids twist her hair, the longer she talks and shakes. This plush is a good way to help kids put a face to an emotion that can be hard to describe.

Inside Out 2 really shines in its ability to help kids talk about emotions. This picture book breaks down what happens when Riley tries to go to bed for the night, calling out Anxiety for staying awake at Headquarters when everyone else is ready to sleep. Ultimately, the fellow emotions help her settle down—and let Riley conk out.

Help kids carry their gear—and favorite emotions—on the go with this crossbody bag. It boasts a clear front pocket, along with self-stick fabric patches, so kids can customize the bag to their mood. Two zippered pockets give Inside Out 2 fans plenty of space to securely store their stuff.

For the tweens and teens, a T-shirt that sums it all up with a shrug and an eye roll by Ennui, the coolest new emotion to enter the Inside Out 2 chat. The soft jersey tee is printed with eco-friendly, water-based inks—not that they care or anything. 

It’s hard not to love Embarrassment, with his bright red cheeks and semi-terrified expression. This 15-inch plush comes in his movie uniform—hoodie and all—along with embroidered details.
