Up: Young Carl & Ellie Plush Set (D23 Expo 2019 Exclusive—LE 300)

Adventure is out there! Speaking of, attending last year's D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA was quite the adventure indeed. If you've been following along with my posts, you know that one of the most adventurous things we did was stay up in line all night long in order to get into the convention's show floor Disney Store and purchase the exclusive items we wanted. I went in only planning on buying one or two things, but then there was so much irresistible Pixar merch that I had no idea about—like this Up Young Carl & Ellie Plush Set for example (Limited Edition of only 300)! How could I pass this up? Exactly. And here we are.

The main concern I had when I made this purchase was how I was going to get it home on the plane (especially considering all the other items I bought). I told myself I would figure it out when the time came and, well, I did it! Not sure how it ended up working out, but I did it. This box is huge and very sturdy! It measures 14" H x 16" W x 5.5" D. Its large size and the "My Adventure Book" themed packaging is part of what makes this plush set something really special though and I appreciate all the little details. I love that it's in celebration of the film's 10th anniversary last year as well!

Original retail price was $79.95.

Above is the back of the box, which features an image of the plushies found inside and the film's iconic logo. What's really cool is that the front, seen below, is actually a door (with magnetic closure) that opens up to reveal a window showcasing our two favorite little adventurers! Aren't they just too adorable?

All the "scrapbook" details on the backside of the door (South America, Charles Muntz, Paradise Falls, etc.) is the icing on the cake. You can tell how much thought was put into this product.

These are authentic Disney Store/ShopDisney plush, so they have all the quality you'd expect! One of my favorite aspects is Carl's aviator hat; all the materials used to bring it to life here are fantastic. There are so many great stitched and embroidered details overall here across the board! Just look at all Ellie's badges and patches—so well done. And how could I not mention her wild hair which captures her character from the film perfectly?

Take a closer look at each plush below. Ellie measures around 13" tall and Carl measures about 11.5" tall.

Unfortunately the only way to get these plush at this point is through a third party seller. There are a few eBay listings currently (direct link below), but the price ranges anywhere from $250-$500. If you're a diehard Up fan/collector willing to drop that much, I absolutely recommend getting this set! You will not be disappointed.
