"Here you go lady, make it bring you and your kid a lot of joy."
―The Peddler after selling Karen the Good Guy doll.

The Peddler is a homeless man, who sells various goods that he collects in his shopping cart.

Child's Play (1988)[]

After a toy store was burned down by lightning, the peddler looted some undamaged items to resell on the street. One of these items was a Good Guy doll which unknowingly contained Chucky's soul. The following morning, he hangs around in the alley outside the department store where Karen and Maggie work. He first approaches Maggie with his wares, who declines but urges Karen to buy the Good Guy doll. He sells it to her for $50, half of what it would cost in a store.

The next night, Karen learns that the doll is alive and is killing people. She attempts to convince Detective Norris about Chucky, but he does not believe her, so she decides to go find Chucky on her own. After making her way to a homeless camp, she confronts the peddler and demands to know where he got the doll. He says the information will cost her, and since Karen did not bring her purse, he attempts to solicit another form of payment by raping her. However, Detective Norris arrives just in time and punches him before he could hurt Karen. Norris intimidates the peddler to admit where he found the doll, revealing that he looted the toy store where Norris killed Charles Lee Ray.
