I have to say, when this website first posted about reports of the pending release of a Miss Piggy Tsum Tsum plush, I was baffled by the overwhelming positive response. I didn’t really… get it. Tsum Tsum? It seemed to be nothing more than a vaguely Miss Piggy-looking doll shaped like a burrito.
Now we have rumblings from the website Dis Kingdom that an Animal Tsum Tsum has appeared on eBay being sold by a Chinese seller, which, as Dis Kingdom says, adds to “the speculation that a Muppets collection could be coming soon to Disney Stores.”
I don’t know how likely that is to become a reality in this country, but for now, we have these pictures, and you know what? I get it now. This Animal burrito is cute, it’s fun to look at, and he wouldn’t take up too much space on a shelf next to your Vinylmations and MiniMates. Take a look:
We’re keeping an eye out for more info on when, or whether, we might be able to get our hands on these, so stay tuned.
