Lifestyle company XPLUS is expanding its distribution network as its "Toy Story" themed products, created in collaboration with Disney Korea, are receiving a positive response at offline pop-up stores.


On July 7, XPLUS announced that the "Toy Story" themed products, developed in partnership with Disney Korea, are enjoying strong sales at pop-up stores in Hyundai Department Store and Seongsu-dong.


Currently, the products are available at the "Toy Story 5" pop-up stores operated at Hyundai Department Store Pangyo and The Hyundai Seoul, as well as at the "Toy Story" pop-up store in Seongsu-dong. The company explained that, as the products were launched to coincide with the release of the movie "Toy Story 5," demand for character merchandise is increasing, particularly among families and Millennials & Gen Z.


The product lineup centers around practical lifestyle goods for everyday use. Popular character designs such as Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Alien, Lotso, and Mr. Potato Head have been applied to items including MagSafe shaker phone grips, mini tarpaulin bag keyrings, removable stickers, mini deco stickers, and mouse pads.


In particular, the MagSafe shaker phone grip, which features moving character parts inside, and the mini tarpaulin bag keyring made from authentic tarpaulin material, are attracting consumer attention with their design and practicality. Removable stickers and mini deco stickers are also proving popular as items to decorate various digital devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.


XPLUS plans to accelerate the expansion of its offline sales channels in the second half of the year. Starting this month, the company will sequentially enter major department store pop-up stores nationwide, including Hyundai Department Store Daegu and Busan branches, Shinsegae Department Store Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon branches, as well as AK Plaza, and is currently discussing additional distribution channels.



A representative from XPLUS stated, "As the movie is released, interest in character-themed products is growing, and we are seeing better-than-expected consumer reactions at our pop-up stores. We will continue to introduce practical and well-designed collaborative products and expand touchpoints with consumers through a variety of offline channels."
