Pixar Studios Short Films Tsum Tsum Set (D23 Expo 2017 Exclusive)

Pixar Studios Short Films Tsum Tsum Set D23 2017 Exclusive

A few months back, I got word from a couple sources that an exclusive Tsum Tsum set based on some of Pixar's short films was to be released at this year's D23 Expo. I didn't know if it was true (I honestly maybe even doubted it a little bit), but boy did I hope it was.

Well, you all know the ending to this story...the reports ended up being true and I couldn't be more excited! This has got to be up there with some of my favorite Pixar merch ever. Not only am I an avid Tsum Tsum collector, but I'm also obsessed with anything released related to the Pixar shorts (especially limited editions). Combine the two and you have a real winning combination for me. This was a must have.

This Pixar Short Films Tsum Tsum set was only available within the Disney Store at the 2017 D23 Expo during the weekend of July 14-16. Only 1000 units were produced. The set includes eight fantastic characters (of various sizes) from four Pixar short films: Two birds (one mini and one micro Tsum) from For the Birds, the magician (mini Tsum) and Alec the rabbit (micro Tsum) from Presto, the sheep and jackalope (both mini Tsums) from Boundin' and Piper's mom (mini Tsum) and Piper (micro Tsum) from Piper.

First of all, the packaging is just so awesome. I absolutely love how the Tsums are displayed in the box with their faces peeking out (each duo with a background and 3D cardboard logo to match their film). The simple white box, the metallic lettering and the silver ribbon handle gives off a fantastic impression. You know you have something special here from just the look of the box. Very classy.

Original retail price was $54.95.

Note: You may have notice my box is not in the best condition. Unfortunately the eBay seller did not pack it very well and it got a bit crumpled in the mail.

Let's take a closer look at these guys loose!

PRESTO
I have to note that the Presto set even comes with a removable magician's hat, which is such a fun added touch. You can display Alec in it peeking out or have the magician himself wear it. I love the embroidered carrot detail on Alec's side as well.

Even though I wasn't lucky enough to go to the D23 Expo this year, I'm so happy to have gotten a steal of a deal for this through eBay. A big thanks to all my friends who attempted to help me get this while they were there at the convention! It's the thought and effort that counts. :)

If you're interested in adding this amazing set to your collection, check out this direct link to current eBay listings. These short films are rarely represented through merchandise, so I would jump at the chance to get this set if you're a big fan of Pixar Animation Studios. You won't be disappointed!

It's so hard to pick favorites, but Alec (with that hat, those floppy ears and that carrot) might be the winner for me (with Piper being a close second). Honestly though, I love them all and appreciate all the details on each one. Which are your favorites? What are your overall thoughts on this set? Let me know in the comments below!
