As Tsum Tsum’s popularity continues to rise, we see a much wider variety of consumer products featuring our favorite Disney characters. Today, I want to share my thoughts on the newest collections from Lip Smacker starring our beloved Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Stitch!
“Fun to collect, fun to stack, and simply adorable” is the marketing tagline for this collection; and you read this absolutely correct – these lip balms are stackable! This is simply clever because it perfectly aligns to the core idea of Tsum Tsum (in case you forgot that “tsum tsum” means stack-stack in Japanese).
Without knowing that they are lip balms, these Tsum Tsum lip smackers look like tiny figurines. For size comparison, they are slightly smaller but much heavier than the mini size plush that we are all so familiar with.
To use, twist the topper on the bottom to reveal the dome-shaped lip balm. Each of the four characters carries its unique scent. Mickey comes in Marshmallow Pop, Minnie in Strawberry Lollipop, Stitch in Blueberry Wave, and Winnie the Pooh in Honey Pot. They all remind me the smell of Starburst candies, very sweet and almost thought they were edible. If you do not happen to be a fan of candy-flavored lip balms, have no fear because the scent is essentially unnoticeable once you apply to your lips (in my experience at least), nearly no smell or taste.
These adorable ones provided me long-lasting moisture without the greasiness. They applied very thinly which you can build it up to suit your preference. I applied three thin layers and it lasted more than 6 hours until I had to eat. The quality of the lip balm surpassed my expectations and props to Lip Smackers for creating such a quality product!

Yesterday, Hong Kong Disneyland released an exclusive Tsum Tsum bag set celebrating Chinese New Year. The set features Duffy and ShellieMay in celebratory outfits inside an orange bag.
Oranges are a recognized symbol of Chinese New Year and are associated with “wealth”. The Chinese associate the gift of oranges as having abundance prosperity.
The set retails for $238 HKD (or about ~$30.50 USD).
Last week, JCPenney started selling Tsum Tsum plushes. This week, Tsum Tsum plushes have been spotted on the shelves of Walmart.
The plushes use the same tags as the Target/JCPenney Tsum Tsums but many people are claiming they feel softer. They are also retailing for $4.44! Please note that only *some* Walmarts are carrying Tsum Tsum plushes right now. You may want to call your local Walmart before going.
Who else will begin selling Tsum Tsum plushes next? Our guess is Toys-R-Us, since they are already carrying Tsum Tsum merchandises (just not the plushes).
Update: Tsum Tsum plushes are now officially being sold by Walmart online. Currently, only the large Mickey, large Minnie, and medium Winnie the Pooh are sold by Walmart. The rest are from third-party resellers.
Last week JCPenney released mini versions of the Pink Valentine’s Day Mickey and Minnie Tsum Tsum. Today, they released medium versions of the plushes.
The medium Tsum Tsums are retailing for $13 each and are currently only available online at JCPenney.com.
They also restocked the mini versions.

Update: All sold out.
JCPenney has released a new pink Valentine’s Day Tsum Tsum set featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
The couple is dressed in pink heart outfits and Mickey is also wearing wings.
The Mickey and Minnie Tsum Tsum retails for $6 each and are available online at JCPenney.com. It does not appear to be in stock at stores at the moment based on the check store availability feature.
Disney is preparing to ship out January’s Tsum Tsum Subscripton Box. The Monthly Tsum Tsum Subscription Box is currently sold-out but spots can open up at anytime according to Disney. Read on to find out what’s in this month’s box.
*SPOILER*
The details of the subscription box is posted in the order history. January’s subscription box is listed as “SUB OLAF SNOWGIE DUO”. We can assume that this month’s subscription box will be Olaf and Snowgie. Based on last month’s description of “SUB MN PNK MN DUO” (small Minnie and mini Pink Minnie), this month’s box should be a small Olaf and mini Snowgie.
Update:
We just received our January 2016 Tsum Tsum Subscription Box. This month’s box contained a small Olaf and mini Snowgie Tsum Tsum.
The Ala Moana Disney Store in Hawaii has released another exclusive mini Tsum Tsum, an Aloha Mickey Mouse.

JCPenney is now an official retailer of Tsum Tsum plushes. The first wave of plushes hits JCPenney’s stores today with characters from the standard set, The Little Mermaid, 101 Dalmatians, Frozen, and more. JCPenney’s plush quality is on par with Target (same tag as well).
The mini retails for $6, medium for $13, and large for $25. The plushes are available in some stores and online. You can use the “Check Store Availability” tool to see if your local JCPenney carries Tsum Tsums.
