Ooshies return at Woolworths with new line of Disney, Marvel and Star Wars characters
Ooshies took Australia by storm when Woolworths released their line of hugely popular miniature Lion King figurines.
More than a year later, Ooshies are back.
From August 26, Woolies shoppers will be able to collect some of their favourite Marvel, Star Wars, Disney and Pixar characters in Ooshie form as part of the new range for steaming service Disney+.
They’ll be available for every $30 shoppers spend in store or online, while stocks last.
Among the 36 Ooshies will be famous Disney characters Elsa (Frozen) and Woody (Toy Story), Marvel superhero Captain Marvel and the Mandalorian from Star Wars.
The full list of characters will be released closer to the date.
However, Victorian shoppers will have to wait.
The supermarket giant has delayed the availability of Ooshies in the state due to the COVID-19 crisis, until restrictions ease.
“We know some customers in Victoria will be disappointed by the delayed roll out,” Woolworths spokesman Andrew Hicks said.
‘But the safety and wellbeing of our customers, team members, and community remains our number one priority.
“The delay will allow our team to focus on operations and supplying customers with their everyday essentials during this challenging period.
“Once restrictions ease and we can safely roll out the program, we look forward to sharing the Disney magic with our Victorian customers.”
Woolworths also said pre-loved Ooshies have been recycled in products such as outdoor furniture.
