Hey Toy Story-fan friends! I’ve got one of those ‘why not us?’ Disney merch moments to share with you today. A brand-new Toy Story 5 x Starbucks collection has just launched in Korea, packed with fun, creative pieces that are already turning heads. Well, my head. My head is officially turned! The only catch? There are currently no plans to bring this collection to the U.S. or Australia, and honestly, we don’t quite understand why.
Inspired by the upcoming Toy Story 5, this Starbucks Korea collaboration goes far beyond your usual lineup of tumblers and mugs. Of course, those are included (and they are adorable), but the range doesn’t stop there. We’re seeing themed drinkware, collectible cups, character-inspired accessories, plush items, and even lifestyle pieces that feel just as playful as they are practical. It’s one of those collections where every item feels thoughtfully designed, with nods to your favorite characters like Woody and Buzz Lightyear woven into the details. The sort of thing that leaves you thinking, Can this even be real?
And can we talk about the variety for a second? There are colorful tumblers, cold cups, and mugs perfect for your daily coffee run, but also reusable bags, pouches, and accessories that you could easily incorporate into everyday life. This is the kind of cuteness that doesn’t just live on a shelf; it’s made to be used, which makes it even more exciting. We are talking about things you would never expect in a traditional Starbucks merch line. There even appears to be a mini claw machine.
Right now, this entire lineup is exclusive to the Korean market, and it really does feel like fans there are getting all the luck with this one. We’ve seen some incredible international exclusives before, but this might be one of the most complete and creative Toy Story collaborations in a while. From the color palettes to the character details, everything feels fresh, fun, and just a little bit different from what we usually see.
So while we wait (and hope!) for any hint of a wider release, let’s take a look at some of the promotional images that are making all of us just a little bit jealous… because if this collection doesn’t make you want to plan a trip, I don’t know what will!
Would you be keen to see this new collection hit the shelves locally?
