Like a tumbling stack of Tsum Tsums, so are the days of our lives. It’s been another busy week for Tsum Tsum fans. Here’s a look back at all of the wonderful Tsum Tsum things that happened.
Theme Park Tsum Tsums Debuted!!!
Remember several weeks ago when I accused Disney of not wanting to make money because they weren’t making more Tsum Tsums based on theme park characters? If you don’t, you can educate yourself here. However, Disney didn’t quite do what I was expecting. Rather than taking beloved theme park characters and making them fat and squishy, they decided to take ride vehicles, give them a face and make them fat and squishy instead. Here is a pic of the ridiculousness.
They aren’t all bad, in fact the Dumbo the Flying Elephant Tsum Tsum is darn right adorbs!!! Unfortunately, he’s completely sold out at the moment. Some of them look okay, like the train and monorail. But some are hideous. Let’s talk about the hunchback bus… It looked enough like a bus with the rearview mirrors and wheels. The emergency release hatch didn’t need to be included, but it was… and it is bulbous.
The Matterhorn Bobsled is sold at Disneyland, but also at Walt Disney World where the attraction doesn’t exist and where it is being confused with Space Mountain. I think that’s why it looks so angry…
The Astro Orbitor looks super unhappy about becoming a Tsum Tsum…
But the biggest atrocity in the bunch is definitely the Splash Mountain log. Most people have the following reaction to it: “That’s meant to be Splash Mountain? Looks like a turd!” Mmm hmm…
Subrscription Boxes Arrived!!!
Last Thursday when I checked the mail, I let out a squeal so high pitched that I may have punctured the ear drums of some of my neighbors. From somewhere deep inside, I somehow knew all of the lyrics and choreography to “Shipoopi” from The Music Man, which I performed in the streets. It was a real showstopper… or at least a traffic stopper…
Anywho, as soon as I got inside I regained my composure and turned on my laptop to make an unboxing video. Look at how cute the first subscription Tsum Tsums are!!!
Cars Tsum Tsums
Attraction vehicles aren’t the only automobile Tsum Tsums released last week. In the uber popular mobile game, Lightning McQueen and Mater have shown that they can be just as cute as Herbie. Both have been added to the Lucky Time period for this week, which still includes other recent Pixar additions like Rex and Randal.
Lighting McQueen’s skill allows you to pick a direction to send him speeding across the screen. He will clear all the Tsum Tsums in his path, which makes him pretty decent. His skill proves even more useful when you aim him sideways towards the edge of the game, which will bounce him back and clear even more Tsum Tsums. “Slow down! You’re gonna crash!”
Mater has an even better skill, which clears tons of non-Mater Tsum Tsums from the screen. His towing hook swings across the screen and highlights a whole bunch of Tsum Tsums all at once. When it’s done, you are left with quite a few Mater’s adjacent to each other so you can connect them and unlock his skill again. It’s hard not to score over 1,000,000 with Mater. YEEEEE HAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!! ! !!!! !! !
Taking a Break
Tsum Tsum Life will be taking next week off, as I intend to gorge myself on turkey and mashed potatoes. My food coma will probably last well into the following week. Don’t forget that Tsum Tsum Tuesday is December 1st. The Hundred Acre Wood will expand when more characters from Winnie the Pooh are released. And while the collection does include a heffalump, there are sadly no woozles to be seen.
