Disney Tsum Tsum

Disney Tsum Tsum is a line of collectible plushies (stuffed animals) based on popular Disney characters.[1] The name "tsum tsum" comes from the Japanese verb tsumu meaning "to stack", and the plushies are designed to sit on top of each other, forming a pyramid.[1] The toys were first introduced in Japan in 2013 as an accompaniment to Disney Japan's popular mobile game with the same name and as of 2014 has sold 1.8 million toys.[2] Disney began selling the toys in the U.S. in July 2014, and in Disneyland Paris the following month. Around the same time, Disney Tsum Tsum entered the market in South Korea by giving out icons for chatting systems.[3]
