If you don’t know about the latest Disney crave, Tsum Tsums, let me give you a crash course. They are these little plush toys that at their smallest size are just $5 a piece. The “Classic” set (think Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc) is available at all Disney Stores and now some Targets. The first Tuesday of every month a new set of Tsum Tsums comes out at Disney Stores across the US. This month the set happened to be based on characters from The Little Mermaid! The Little Mermaid was my first favorite Disney movie and therefore Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess!
Since it is one of my all time favorite Disney Films still, I made sure that we got to the Disney Store early! The Hudson Hubby and I arrived probably about an hour after our local Disney Store opened and the Display was half cleaned out! Luckily, one of the Cast Members admitted there were still some behind the display but she’d been too busy to restock, so the Hudson Hubby was kind enough to restock the front and I was able to snag the ones I wanted, which were 5 out of the 8 characters that were available. The same Cast Member from before talked me into getting the whole set eventually! I’m glad she did, because Ursula and Scuttle were sold out before we left the store. A manager did end up bringing out more from “the back”, but those two were not brought back out again.
Anyway, back to Tsum Tsums! Before this set, I had limited my personal collection to only one or two Tsum Tsums per Set. For example, from March’s Cinderella Set, I only have Jaq & Gus. But, Ariel is my original homegirl and I literally couldn’t resist!! My collection literally doubled in one day! Next month’s collection will feature the characters from the new Disney/Pixar film Inside Out! Do you collect any of the Tsum Tsum plushes? There is also a game too for your phone or tablet, but beware it is just as addictive as collecting these cuties!
