Experiment 626 – Stitch – and his mischievous nature captivated the hearts of audiences when the original Disney animated film debuted in 2002. Designed primarily by Chris Sanders, who helped write and co-direct the original film, this little blue fuzzball has been an icon of Disney whimsy unmatched by most of his contemporary peers, in a league of fame and popularity all his own at the same caliber as Disney Princesses.
As Disney continues to roll out the live-action remakes of some of its most beloved films, Experiment 626 is next in line to receive the Hollywood treatment, and Disney is celebrating this release by debuting a whole new line of Stitch merchandise spanning toys, collectibles, apparel, home decor, and even pet products!
Popular toy brands like LEGO, JAKKS Pacific, Jada Toys, Jazwares, Funko, and Ravensburger are premiering new collectibles and toys to give fans a dose of interstellar cuteness; notably Ravensburger, the manufacturer of popular Disney trading card game Lorcana, has debuted the Azure Sea Stitch Gift Set as part of this product roll-out.
This gift set retails for 50.00 USD and features a Stitch – Alien Buccaneer promo card, 4 Azurite Sea booster packs, and a portfolio decked out with Stitch in his many glimmer forms.
This gift set is just the tip of the iceberg where new Stitch merchandise is concerned, though – Adidas, Gap, Crocs, Lougefly, BaubleBar, and Pandora also have new lines featuring everyone’s favorite little abomination; Loungefly has over twenty items alone featuring Stitch, ranging from shirts to their famous bags, and even a dog collar. This Stitch Camping Cuties All-Over Print Nylon Square Mini Backpack retails for 40.00 USD and features printed details and adjustable shoulder straps.
For home decor, check out new products from Impressions Vanity, like the Stitch Swivel Vanity Chair, which retails for 229 USD and features embroidered details and a 360-degree swivel and rolling wheels.
Disney and its collaborating brands plan to release even more Stitch-tastic fun throughout the release of this highly-anticipated film on May 23rd, through the iconic fan celebration of 6/26 (Stitch Day!) and into the holiday season, so stay tuned as Theme Park Shark continues to cover all of that this fluffy menace to intergalactic security has to offer! Last year, Theme Park Shark covered all of the fantastic new releases that the lovable little furball got in celebration of 6/26, and we look forward to seeing all of the new releases that will come along this year in the wake of such a beloved film receiving a live-action re-release.
