Collectible range of much-loved Disney characters on sale this September
The worldwide collectible and plush craze – “Disney Tsum Tsum” – has hit store this month, exclusively through Toys R Us.
The collectible and feature plush lines are based on much-loved Disney, Disney•Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh and many more. The stackable Tsum Tsums come in four different ranges: foil pack (R89.99), 3-pack (R149.99), 9-pack (R399.99), small plush (R149.99).
Born in Japan, “Disney Tsum Tsum”, which translates to ‘Stack Stack’, is an idea that stems from the Japanese Zen art of stone stacking. An overnight success when Disney Store Japan released the first range of collectable, stackable plush in late 2013. South African consumers can now join in the fun and start collecting and stacking the different Disney Tsum Tsums.
In addition to the launch, Disney fans will be able to view a new season of the “Disney Tsum Tsum” shorts on Disney Channel (DStv Channel 303) from September. The animated shorts see the Tsums participating in a wide range of fun activities together but nothing makes them happier than when they’re playing their favorite game ‘Tsum Tsum’ ‒ the taller, the wobblier, the more magnificent the better! Ultimately they always end up in a huge pile of laughter on the floor! Catch the shorts every Saturday and Sunday at 7:15AM.
The new season of Disney Tsum Tsums animated shorts forms part of Disney Channel’s 10th Birthday celebrations that will see the channel being opened to DStv Extra and Compact Customers from 5 September to 9 October. Fans can log onto Disney’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DisneyinAfrica) and the Disney Africa mobisite (disneyafrica.mobi) to stand in line to win Tsum Tsum prizes to get their collection started.
The “LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum” app is also available on mobile devices globally. Players can connect and pop as many of the Disney Tsum Tsum characters as they can in one minute. The more Tsums eliminated within each level, the higher the score. As they progress through the game, players collect Disney and Disney•Pixar Tsums Tsums, like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Stitch and Buzz Lightyear. Each collectible character can be levelled up over time and has a special ability that provides in-game help. By connecting “LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum” to a LINE messenger app account, adult players enjoy social features in-game, like competing for high scores on leaderboards and gifting, with their friends.
“LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum” is published by LINE under license from Disney, and is available for free with in-app purchases on the App Store.
Fans can get in on the Disney Tsum Tsum action by sharing their stacking fun on social media with the hashtag #TsumTsumSA.
