Lion King Merchandise Appraisal

Disney The Lion King Ooshies Deluxe 24-Pack Advent Calendar/Collector Set

This item is a commercially produced collectible toy set featuring 'The Lion King' characters, rendered in the distinct 'Ooshies' style. The set consists of 24 soft-textured, squishy pencil toppers housed in a large rectangular cardboard display box. The interior of the box lid features a 'Fun Facts' section with educational trivia about African wildlife, including descriptions of the African Lion, Meerkat, Common Warthog, and Hornbill. The characters are displayed in individual plastic trays within the box. Visually, the collection includes a variety of finishes: standard solid colors (like the light blue Mandrill and purple-blue Meerkat), translucent glitter-infused plastics, and metallic gold or bronze-painted variants. Notable characters include Simba, Pumbaa, Timon, Zazu, and Rafiki, all designed with stylized, rounded features and large eyes. The box construction is printed cardboard with high-saturation savanna-themed graphics in orange, yellow, and red. Regarding condition, the set appears mostly intact and original to its packaging, though external reflective glares on the plastic tray suggest minor surface wear. This item likely dates to the 2019-2020 period, coinciding with the release of the live-action Lion King remake or subsequent merchandise cycles. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume plastic rotomolding for the toy market, intended for children and casual pop-culture collectors.
