Plush collectibles are in high demand from fans of all ages, prompting Disney to tap into an iconic franchise to release ultra-cute Urupocha‑chan characters that blend nostalgia with modern charm. The stout versions of beloved characters with wide eyes are irresistibly huggable, driving people to collect plushies that feel like tiny emotional companions. The very name, Urupocha‑chan, comes from the Japanese words for “teary-eyed” and “chubby.”

This new line of collectibles from Disney introduces familiar faces in new forms, including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, as well as Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger and others from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Already, the plush toys developed by Disney Store Japan have captivated hearts in Japan and China, and they’ve officially made their way to the United States Disney Store.
