This past Monday (April 15th), the Disney Store launched phase one of their Toy Story 4 collection—online and in-store! Things are getting real over here folks...Toy Story 4 is upon us and coming faster than you can say "there's a snake in my boot." As if it wasn't surreal enough that the film is finally just about here after all the years, the merchandise hits stores. What a glorious sight!
I remember so vividly when Toy Story 3 merch hit stores back in 2010. From what we knew at the time, it was the very last Toy Story film—so I went crazy getting all I could (since I figured it would never be like that again). It was my last chance to stock up on anything and everything Toy Story. Boy was I wrong! It's back and bigger than ever. Between all the products you'll be able to find soon at Walmart and Target (April 22nd) and all this (plus more to come), the amount of items seems to be endless.
Anyway, I always love documenting the Disney Store in-store setups here on my blog and giving you a peek at what's available whenever new Pixar merch hits...this time would be no different! This tradition began years ago when I was searching online for pictures of older Disney Store merchandise/displays from some of my favorite Disney and Pixar films. I wanted to reminisce, but couldn't find anything...so I began doing this for myself and for anyone down the road who may come across this post. So far since I started this blog, I've done this for Monsters University, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Coco and Incredibles 2. It's a bit of history! Maybe you're coming across this post years from now looking to take a trip down memory lane like I had been trying to do. Who knows?
If you've seen what's on ShopDisney already, then you've seen all this. In fact, the website has even more than what you see above and below. However, it's one thing seeing all this stuff individually on the website; it's another to see it all displayed together in a giant themed section of the store. Totally magical!
Let's get to checking it all out a bit closer. I won't be buying a ton of this (there aren't many "must haves" for me here and a lot of it is apparel for kids, re-releases or items geared towards women/girls), but certainly expect full reviews soon of some of my fave items (like the working Toy Story crane game and possibly some of the plush). Speaking of the plush, one main item you'll notice missing here is the plush Forky. Can you believe he had already sold out by the time I visited last night? That's right, in one day he was gone.
Even though I won't be getting these since they're for kids, I found these Forky shoes hilarious and fun! These are gonna be a huge hit if the character turns out to be a fan fave.
And on this fixture, you'll notice some of the older "Road to Toy Story 4" items that have been released over the past couple months. They're kind of mixed in with the new stuff.
So what are your thoughts!? Have you gone to your Disney Store yet to check all this out (or maybe already placed an order online)? What are your "must have" items or favorites in general? Looking forward to hearing what you have to say down below!
