Although the daily updates posted here at Stitch Kingdom of new items available at DisneyStore.com along with special deals posted daily via our @SK_TDSAlerts twitter account is usually enough, I felt there were a couple of new items and sales today that deserved their own special mention in case they got understandably overlooked with the dozens of other deals announced today.
Described as mini-beanies, these plushes feature many of the new characters introduced in Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3. Included in the collection are Dolly, Mr. Pricklepants, Twitch, Peas-in-a-Pod, Buttercup the unicorn, Trixie and Sparks who’s even articulated. They retail for $8.50 each or can be purchased for $14 for any combination of two of them.
For more information or to purchase them, you can click on the individual links above.
Also available for purchase now is the Bullseye from the Thinkway Toys Toy Story Collection. The 13″ film accurate plush has over 10 horse sounds and music items to play from the ‘Woody’s Roundup’ television show. Bullseye also responds to your voice and pretend galloping motions.
DisneyStore.com also now has your rare opportunity to purchase the very popular Disney-Dooney & Bourke fashion accessories on sale at a whopping 25% off. The discounted items are available in the Minnie Mouse and Faces of Mickey Mouse styles with the pouchette bags discounted to $44.95 and the satchel bags marked down to $131.99.
I know many of you have asked that we offer a daily email of the sales at DisneyStore.com and while that isn’t likely to happen any time soon, I promise there are bigger and better things on the way that we hope will blow you away. In the mean time, if you are interested in the sales, please check in with @SK_TDSAlerts on twitter. You don’t need a twitter account to read the sales it posts daily.
