How does disney determine which toy story toys are exclusive?

There is no verifiable information available in the provided sources that details Disney’s process for determining which Toy Story toys become exclusive items. The Wikipedia entry for the film focuses on production, cast, and plot, but it does not cover merchandising or exclusivity agreements. Although many companies use market testing, retailer negotiations, and licensing agreements to decide exclusivity, these practices are not confirmed for Disney in the context of Toy Story. Therefore, without additional evidence, we cannot state the specific criteria or steps Disney follows for exclusive toy releases.
