Move over, Mouse ear headbands, Disney seems to have a new favorite accessory –Disney shoulder plush figures.
Lately, more and more shoulder plush options have become available.
From Inside Out characters to the Pirates of the Caribbean Parrot, shoulder plushes are slowly taking over.
How do they stay on your shoulder?
Similar to the shoulder banshees in Pandora, these plush attach via magnets. A fabric-covered magnetic disk goes under your shirt and attaches to a magnet on the bottom of the plush.
The only issue is if your shirt is too baggy or easily pulled down, then the plush will slip forward or backward. Try different shirts until you find the perfect one to support your plush.
Currently, there are several types of Disney shoulder plush available at the Disney Store.
