What do you think would('ve) happen if, like, Doey and the other toys/experiments (Lucas and Bella included) got out of the facility? How would they react? Obviously, they'd enjoy the freedom, but what else?

Phew! Sorry this took me so long to get to, but hopefully it was worth it! Someone else also sent an ask talking about how Bella and Lucas could have survived the HOJ (which I accidentally deleted due to lag while deleting spam TwT) so this is for both of you!!
The first thing on everyone's mind after escaping would be food, food and drinks of any kind. Playtime Co. controlled most of the toys via starvation, and the food they did get was really low quality junk. Doey is more than familiar with crawling through vents, and what is that Walmart employee really going to do about him. While grabbing most anything in reach, there was definitely a preference towards junk food, they're all still kids and chips and soda are like ambrosia and they're going to eat until they throw up, and then they'll probably eat more after XD
After they finish gorging themselves I think they'd probably hide? Try and find somewhere to hide out either just in the woods or if they can locate an abandoned building. Anything to stay out of the weather and away from people, especially that last bit. None of them want anything to do with people, interactions would be rare and as short as they possibly can manage (they're all very scared of being dragged back). Getting Lucas and Bella's collars off is one of those rare people interactions, that poor employee who had Doey's stalker form looming over them while they tried to turn off a shock collar attached to a stuffed animal (who was also alive). Like, the second they left the store that dude 100% fainted BAHAHAHA. Doey's main focus is on himself, Bella, and Lucas, though I think it'd make sense for them to pick up a squad on the way out. Most toys were enjoying the carnage to some degree (or being torn apart in it) and most of the mini toys couldn't do much even after getting out of the building, these three were just lucky. There is no way in hell any of them would be willing to go back into the building, as much as they wish certain friends were here, it's just too much risk.
Honestly even after escaping I think they'd still be stuck in survival mode, scared of being dragged back at any moment and living in a world that is so new and scary. Most don't have very strong memories of being human, everything is new and to them, anything new is dangerous. They'd settle into a routine eventually I imagine... I believe in them :]
Also for funsies! The Bron's name is Brandy, he remembers the most about being human (though not his own name as Brandy was a name he took after being a toy) and is in charge when it comes to figuring out new stuff. He is also the oldest of the group! The Daddy Long Leg is Dill, he also doesn't remember his real name. Dill and Doey are the main ones who do any sneaking that needs to be done, Dill is small and flexible, Doey is large and flexible. Finally there is the Catbee Amelia, who the only thing she remembers is her name. One of her antenna snapped off before meeting Doey and gang and she was the leader of her little squad, though I think she enjoys being able to take a backseat nowadays.
Race With Ryan is a your basic racing game released on November 1, 2019, based on the child toy reviewer Ryan’s World on youtube, and was met with average reviews, probably because kids would rather play Mario Kart with characters they know like Mario or Donkey Kong. Advertising and merchandising off one specific youtuber is pretty niche and could only draw in a very particular audience, being what amount of kids are big enough fans of Ryan’s World. There isn’t much else to say about it, except for the discovery of a hidden texture in the files.
On the same day of release, twitter user TiniestTurtles discovered a pretty creepy texture, the showed Ryan with his eyes as X’s, blood dripping from his eyes, and a wide smile with stitches.
TiniestTurtles did also end up figuring out how to put said texture on a model of Ryan.
It definitely begs the question of “Why would they put this in a kid’s game?” Supposedly the developers refuse to answer. Obvious conclusions are that it was either a weird joke between the developers, or a way to blow off steam and vent out the frustrations of making a video game, especially a shovelware game based on a child’s youtube channel. Another theory is that it was added on purpose so that someone would inevitably find it, have it blow up, and thus be free advertising with it drawing attention to the game.
Whatever theory, it is thankfully unused, with the only way to see it is by viewing the files, but it shouldn’t be in the files at all. It’s even more disturbing considering Ryan is a real child, and this is a game based on him. Even if it wasn’t meant as an attack on Ryan personally, it’s still insensitive.
