Hi friends!
Been a while since I updated anything Tsum Tsum related but I thought I would just recap what’s been up in the air regarding Tsum Tsum and just some information about up and coming news
So to recap what has recently arrived, on the 16th of September the Star Wars Tatooine collection was released, and the collection before on the 5th August saw 3 collections; Beauty and the Beast, Petes Dragon and Toy Story.
So What’s upcoming?
What we know for definite is the next two collections are Disney Villains and the Nightmare Before Christmas Box set
We’ve already had a Nightmare Before Christmas set, however this set includes some new characters and some different variants. The first collection featured Jack skeleton both normal and Santa version, Sally, Zero the dog, Lock, Shock and Barrel, as well as the Vampire.
This new collection box set will come complete with Jack, a Winking Sally, Pumpkin King Jack, Oogie Boogie, Sandy Claws, The real Santa Claus, the Mayor, and Dr. Finkelstein. The box is an unusual warped shaped rectangle, almost looks like a chocolate heroes box, very Tim Burton-esqe.
The Villains set is a new concept really for Disney and Tsum Tsum. usually they stick with a single film character collection, however this time they are taking individuals from different movies and placing them into a collection release. The collection will see a second Ursula from The Little Mermaid, this time with crown. We also see Genie red Jafar that wasn’t in the original Aladdin collection. There is also a second variant of Cruella D’evil, she came out online rather than in stores with two of the dogs from 101 Dalmations. There is also a second Captain Hook being eaten by Tick Tock from Peter Pan. The new Tsum tsums in this collection that we haven’t seen before are Dr.Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, Lady Tremaine, also known as the evil step mother from Cinderella, Maleficent as well as Maleficent Dragon, and lastly the Evil Queen from Snow White.
Although the collection is new and different and exciting, I feel as though these characters could have just been released in their own single film collections in the future and skipped on the doubles of previous Tsum tsums we have seen already.
In other news, we know that upcoming collections are going to include; The Muppets, Moana, and of course more Marvel characters, but in what collection we aren’t sure. Kraven the Hunter and The Iron Spider were teased on the official Tsum Tsum Disney Snapchat, as well as Spider Gwen, Venom, Green Goblin and Hobgoblin, so we will definitely be keeping an eye out for a new Marvel range soon.
So far we have seen teasers of Pua the pig from Moana and Maui the chief. The film comes out at thanksgiving for those in the states, and December for those in the UK, so I’m sure a collection with be on the cards in the next couple months as they usually release a collection of a film before the actual film release.
We have also seen a few Muppets teasers including Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear and Animal, as well as a few others
Their snapchat also showed a Finding Nemo collection including Darla, Pearl, Seagull, Squirt and Nigel the Pelican. There will also be a medium Crush and Bruce plush. Along side those will be another Tsum Tsum Carry case set of four, this time it is Dory with parents Jenny and Charlie, baby Dory and squinting Destiny inside
In other Tsum Tsum news, Tsum Tsum squishys are now made to look fuzzy with a furry texture instead of the rubbery feel, it works for the characters that actually have fur such as Pooh Bear, Tigger etc, however it is a bit odd for those who don’t!
To celebrate the recent Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass film, Tsum Tsum brought out a very cute small shoulder bag, blue with two compartments. The bag has a zip and features Alice, the White Rabbit and other motifs such as stop watches. They also brought out Alice Tsum Tsum t-shirts, however I don’t think these are available in the UK
Other Tsum Tsum releases include just smaller items from the Disney Store and other stores that stock Disney such as the children’s Tsum Tsum Minnie Mouse costume, and UK Toy Store The Entertainer has listed the new Disney Tsum Tsum Squishies Christmas Edition Tin Set on their site. The Set features Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale dressed in Christmas attire. Check the site regularly or ask in store about pre-orders.
The date for the Villains collection is the 6th September along side the Nightmare Before Christmas box. So don’t forget they come out the same day if ordering online!
The other collections have no set dates but keep checking my posts, the Tsum Tsum Twitter page and of course the Disney sites every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the week to see what’s next!
Happy Stacking!
