This is Ariel from the Little Mermaid collection, released in Japan by the Disney Store in 2015. Unlike the European and American Ariel, she has a stitched on felt yellow starfish in her hair. It is a standard "mini" sized tsum tsum (3.5", approx 8.9cm). 


The name Tsum Tsum  is derived from the Japanese verb tsumu, meaning "to stack", because the toys are designed to stack on top of each other, forming a pyramid shape. The toys were first released in Japan in 2013 as a tie-in to the Tsum Tsum arcade and mobile games developed by Konami and Line Corporation. They are small soft squeazable toys with fuzzy plush texturing and embroidered features, inspired by Disney characters and often feature other detailing depending on the character portrayed.


Condition

These Tsum Tsum plushes come from a non-smoking, no-pets household and have been stored protected from daylight and dust so are in mint condition unless otherwise specified. Where Tsum Tsums come as a box set or similar, they have never been removed from their original container. All come with their original cloth and paper tags attached unless otherwise specified in the listing. Check out the photos on the listing, any possible defects I spot will be made clearly visible, I have nothing to hide and want you to be 100% happy with your purchase so if you have questions or want to see a detail not shown, please ask. 


Only Genuine Disney Tsums

All Tsum Tsums are guaranteed genuine Disney Store or Disney Parks branded Tsum Tsums (or officially licensed Disney products where specified) from my collection, originally bought in Europe, the US, Japan or Hong Kong Disney Stores and Parks and come with their original tags attached where applicable (where a tag has had the price part removed by the store, this will be clearly shown in the pictures). I don't own, collect or sell fakes. Ever.


Pricing / Best offer
As a collector myself, I do my best to offer fair prices bearing in mind rarity and condition of individual items. That said, I am always willing to consider fair offers, particularly if you are purchasing several items. Please bear in mind that a portion of the final price will be donated to my chosen UK charity, the Albert Kennedy Trust. 


Shipping

Within the UK: All purchases will be shipped by tracked post or courier within the UK. I usually use Hermes tracked delivery for small individual items, please let me know in advance before buying if this is an issue for you and an alternative can be arranged at extra cost. Multiple purchases will usually be combined into one tracked parcel if shipped within the UK and any excess postage refunded when the items are shipped. 


For international shipping, I use eBay's Global Shipping Programme (GSP) and the exact cost for this is set by eBay and should be shown at checkout. Please note that it is not possible to combine orders once they have been paid separately for shipping through GSP, so if you want to buy several items, please make use of the cart function to check out all purchases together in one transaction. I have NO influence over the costs quoted by eBay for shipping internationally and can not combine international orders once they have been processed. If you have any doubts please contact eBay for assistance.
