Each month, Disney has been releasing a NEW limited-edition Mickey Mouse plush. And each month, D23 members get early access to this must-have swag!
The September limited-edition Mickey Mouse plush might be our favorite one yet (which is really saying something, considering how amazing these monthly plushes have been!), so now would be a good time to be a D23 member!
This month’s plush is — drum roll, please — Disney Animator Mickey Mouse! This artsy fella is 16 inches tall, and made from suede that’s designed to resemble wood. How cool! If we didn’t know any better, we’d think Disney Animator Mickey Mouse was carved by Geppetto himself!

Disney has been outdoing itself with these limited-edition Mickey plushes!
The plush is also adorned with drawings of smaller mini-Mickeys on his belly, arms, and ears! There’s a whole lotta Mickey happening, and we’re here for it! Speaking of cool, this wooden pattern was inspired by the wooden drawing desks used to create the original Mickey Mouse shorts by Walt Disney and his animators!
If all that wasn’t enough, Disney Animator Mickey Mouse comes with a commemorative gold and satin foot patch, and most importantly, a Certificate of Authenticity. This guy’s legit! As with each of these highly collectible Mickey plushes, this one also comes in a window box illustrated with special “Year of the Mouse” artistry!
So now that you know you obviously NEED this, here are the deets: log in to your D23 account bright and early on Monday, September 7. Starting at 9AM PST, D23 members can visit this page for the link to purchase the plush on Amazon!
Clearly, this animation-inspired Mickey Mouse plush is a MUST for any Disney collectors out there! And we can’t wait to see what other limited-edition Mickey Mouses Disney has in store!
