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 had sold 1.8 million toys.[2] Disney began exporting the toys to 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]
