Ultimate Spider-Man Tsum Tsums Plush Revealed! Venom!

Disney Tsum Tsum continues to march on a surprising juggernaut in the toy collecting world, with the Tsum Tsum plush the clear headliner of each month’s new Disney Store releases. The Tsum Tsums have become so popular that there are now two Tsum Tsum Tuesdays occurring each month–and the second of these will be bringing us the third Marvel set on 3/15/2016: the Ultimate Spider-Man Tsum Tsum plushies featuring Miles Morales, Venom and more!

Disney Tsum Tsum Ultimate Spider-Man Series Plush

It’s been a while since I’ve had a new batch of Marvel Tsum Tsums to talk about. No, the Disney Tsum Tsum phenomenon is still going on–it’s just that Disney has been concentrating on releasing Star Wars Tsums as of late instead of new Marvel characters (blasphemy, right?).

But the three-month hiatus is over, and Marvel Tsum Tsums return in two weeks with the all-new Ultimate Spider-Man plush line, consisting of five new characters in the mini plush size!

As the regular Spider-Man Tsum from that series remains an “evergreen” item that’s constantly stocked, there’s no reason to include him in this set. Instead, we’re getting something better in the heroic slot: a Miles Morales Tsum in the popular black-and-red Spider-Man costume!

I’m a Miles fanboy, so even though I’m not a Tsum Tsum completist (because frankly, my wife has put her foot down and will not allow it), I will definitely be heading to my local Disney Store for a Miles Morales plush in mid-March. And if Miles is available in the Medium or Large sizes, I will be sorely tempted to pick those up as well.

But Miles is not the only must-have for me in this wave–!

The rest of this Ultimate Spider-Man wave will consist of four of the most recognizable villains in Spidey’s rogues gallery: Venom, the Green Goblin, the Rhino and the Lizard. While this style of plush toys can be pretty hit-and-miss in general, I think Disney did a pretty solid job of making this villainous quartet about as cute as I’ve ever seen them.

Rhino’s angry eyebrows, Lizard and Venom’s tongues hanging out and Green Goblin’s solid yellow eyes and smirk are all surprisingly adorable details.

Disney Tsum Tsum Ultimate Spider-Man Series PlushThe Tsum Tsum Ultimate Spider-Man Collection will be available exclusively online and at the Disney Stores on Tuesday, March 15th 2016. The new plushies get put up for sale right after 3AM EST on release day and many sell out within a few hours, so if you want these, be aware.

I know that these aren’t exactly Hasbro Marvel Legends we’re talking about here, but I also know there’s a huge following for this plush line (which will be even bigger when the Marvel Tsum Tsum game hits this year). Who out there is planning to pick up any of the characters in this Ultimate Spider-Man series?
