He is a wisecracking plastic piggy bank with a cork in his belly. Hamm appears to be best friends with Mr. Potato Head and is usually seen insulting Rex. Out of all the toys, he seems to be the one with the most common sense, although when he trips and his coins fall out, he's a few cents short of a dollar, and always says exactly what he thinks of the other toys.
Hamm had a minor appearance in Toy Story. He is first seen during Andy's playtime in the beginning of the film, representing the safe that the robber was taking money from. His first speaking appearance was when Mr. Potato Head , after attempting to repair himself due to an incident with Molly , tells tries to depict himself as Picasso, although Hamm doesn't understand what he is talking about, causing Mr.
Potato Head to call him an "uncultured swine. Later, during the unplanned staff meeting, Hamm expresses irritation that Woody would ask them if they found a moving buddy. He also expresses irritation when he learns that Ms. Davis moved Andy's birthday to that day instead of the next Wednesday, asking if she lost her marbles. He eventually interrupted the meeting to inform them that the birthday guests are arriving.
He later listens in on Sarges' reports about any gifts Andy got, also expressing shock at Andy getting a lunch box, although he and the other toys celebrated when the final present was revealed to be a game of Battleship, also accidentally knocking Mr.
Potato Head's pieces over, causing him to call him "hero spudhead. He eventually returns to his place, coming out when the coast is clear, eventually meeting Buzz Lightyear. Eventually, when Sid was heard laughing, Hamm speculated that Sid may have had trouble getting into camp this year for why he was at home, also observing what Sid frequently does with the other toys. After Woody accidentally knocked Buzz out of the window and was exposed as having done so, Hamm expressed distrust of Woody and hinted that they should throw Woody out of the window both because of what they thought Woody did and to not give him a chance at doing the same to them, although he and the other toys weren't able to do this before Andy came back into the room.
