I can not believe I never did a blogpost about this!
Today I finally sat down to take some footage and pictures of my beloved collection of:
Today I finally sat down to take some footage and pictures of my beloved collection of:
Disney's Tsum Tsum
Tsum Tsum's are originally from Japan. Tsum means to stack and that kinda what you can do with them. They are plushes in three diffrent sizes of diffrent Disney characters.
I got into them way before they were released in the U.S.A. or Europe, which mean I also have some Japanese Tsum Tsums.
The three sizes they come in are:
Small, medium and large.
You can see the sizes below (these are my actual Tsum Tsums).
The small size is really small. They fit in your hand easily and are the cheapest Tsum Tsums. The smallest one is also the one you have to most characters of.
The medium one is like a small round pillow. They come in less characters, but are more huggable.
The larges Tsum Tsums are really big. They are like big pillows and are quite pricy.
Before they were released here, I found them on the Japanese Disney Store and had an awsome person pick one up for me in Japan. She got me this one:
It's the small Stitch one. I really adore Stitch, so I thought I would get one of these. I think he has cost me about 500 yen, which was at the time 3,80 euro. I love how cute and small they are and the beans in the belly make them easy to putt anywhere.
Soon after they released some Alice Tsum Tsums, which I ofcourse had to have:
Alice, the cheshire cat and the white rabbit were added to the collection. But I didn't only order them, no! I also needed:
Donald was another big want on my list. I really loved this version of him, so I added him!
My last Tsum Tsums from Japan where Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Perry the Platypus.
After a while the news came that they would be starting to sell the Tsum Tsums in Amerika and England. I was really happy the Tsum Tsums would be arriving to a Disney Store I could order from, but for some reason the Disney Store UK didn't get the Tsum Tsums on the date they would be released. I messaged them a few times and they always said the same: we are still planning to release the Tsum Tsums in Europe, but please be patient for now. So even now I'm still waiting for them with parients ofcourse.
But lucky me: the Tsum Tsums did get released in Disneyland Paris! Last month I went there to have a look:
Lots and lots of cute Tsum Tsums! I bought a whole lot of them (like the medium and the large one).
But now:
Are they worth the money?
The Tsum Tsum are quite pricy. I don't know if this was because I bought them in Disneyland or just because they are pricy, but the small one is 6,99 euro, the medium is 15,99 and the large is 29,99.
Overall the quality is pretty good. The fabric is very soft and strong. I have brought them with me a lot and they are still looking very good. Even their bellies stay really good and the fabric doesn't attract any dust or dirt.
I do notice a diffrence between the ones from Japan and the ones from Disneyland. The Japanese Tsum Tsums are getting a little worn and their bellies are getting less fluffy.
On the picture you can sorta see that Daisy's tummy looks nice and fluffy, while Donald's tummy looks kinda dirty (which he is not). This might be due to the price diffrents or maybe they are made somewhere else, but I do notice this.
Conclusion
Also the Disneyland Tsum Tsums have pretty big tags, while the Japanese ones have only little tags.
Overall I do think they are worth the money. The biggest one is quite cheap if you look at other plushes in Disneyland of the same size.
I recommand to get some of these. They are just nice to put somewhere, give away or just as a little souvenir.
To end this review: here is a (fake) infomercial about the Tsum Tsums from Oh My Disney!
