Description
Disney's The Lion KingMattel - Baby Simba plush
Year: 1994
Called "Baby Simba" on the packaging by Mattel. This Simba was sold around 1994-95 when the Lion was Lion King was originally released. Simba was packaged attached to a cardboard display featuring the Lion King sun logo, like many of the other Lion King plush by Mattel. Simba is 12" long (excluding tail), 6" tall and 7" wide.
One interesting thing to note is the tag says "MATTEL. INC. 1993". Many of Mattel's Lion King toys are also dated 1993. The Lion King was never released in theaters until June 15, 1994. This may explain why several of their Lion King plush toys do not look like the characters they are representing and are colored wrong. i.e. Simba does not have white paws. However Simba did have white paws in some of the earlier concept drawings of Simba that Disney did.

I got this little guy too. We found him in a house we helped a friend empty out because the house owner passed away. We were told to keep anything we want as they were just throwing it all away anyways. The Simba is in like-new condition and even has his tags still

I have this toy still. The hair was cut off the head and tail when I was little thinking it would grow back though...

OMG My dad gave this plushie to me, when I was about 2-3 years old. He bought it in the US.
I still have it and it's still sleeping in my bed. Of course it doesn't look as fluffy anymore as in the picture but I still love my plush Simba.

My god! I got that when I was 5! He was one of my favorite Simbas!(i had a TON of different Simbas!)
But I gave him a haircut one day, making his mane non-existent. Same for his tail. I still loved him!
I wish I knew where he was. I think I'll get another one day. I'll even trim him like before.

I was just doing a random search on DA and I found this, and I have a lot of stories about this little guy.
I was born in 1993 and the very first movie I saw was the Lion King in the drive in theaters when I was a baby. When I was little, far too little ro remember, my parents got me this toy and we have dozens of pictures of my dad carrying me around the house, riding the lawnmower, riding in the car, and sitting in the bicycle seat carrying Simba around. My dad says that sometimes when he was riding the bike around the neighborhood with me in the back I would start crying when we were almost home and my dad, realising that I dropped my Simba, would retrace his steps until I was re united with my loved one. I still have my little Simba and one day when I have a small child I'll go on bike rides with them and Simba.

Oh my gosh would you have any idea where to buy this guy? and the nala as well. I had them when I was little but lost them. I lost Nala on Vacation [as well as my favorite towel cause I took it crabbing with me when it was windy] and my simba I lost at camp. I think someone stole it >3>

I still have this somewhere at home. I use to love it. Lion King was one of my favourite movies as a kid.

<-- Jealous. So, soooo jealous. I had one of these when I was little. Carried it with me EVERYwhere. I think my mom secretly threw it out cuz it got so old and dingy. I'm 22 years old and I would probably cry if I ever found another one of these. lol. I'm constantly looking for them in Goodwill

OH MY GOD! I have him still (he's my second oldest plush next to Scorch the dragon).
He's has so much love over the years so now looks a bit dishevelled after many trips in the washer, being hung out to dry

when this simba was first released my brother, whom has passed since, gave it to me for my first birthday. i had it up until last year when my sister "accidently" threw it away!!! i was so mad but mostly upset because it wasn't only my oldest companion, but it reminded me of my brother. i know it wouldnt be the same but does anyone know where i can find one of these for sale??? i really miss it

I've had this Simba plush since it was first released in 1993 and have never loved anything like it. My simba still comes everywhere with me (I'm nearly 25) and I can't remember the last time I had a night's sleep without at least a quick cuddle (though most nights I cuddle him constantly) he's actually tucked under my arm as I type this, he's just the perfect fit. My simba's in a far worse condition than any of the others I've seenm missing lots of fur and the fur he has left isn't soft or fluffy anymore but, what can I say...he's been well loved - and put through the washing machine god knows how many times by my dear mother! A few years ago I bought another of the same version of teddy but it's just not the same, even at the time I didn't ever see another with quite as nice a face as mine! I think I had the cutest simba EVER!
I did consider getting him restored at a teddy bear hospital but tbh he's looked like this for so long now I don't think it'd be the same. He has and always will be my most treasured possession. I'd be absolutely devastated if anything were to happen to him!

I also have had this plush since it was first released and still sleep with it every night (I'm nearly 25 - he's tucked under my arm as I type, has and always will be the perfect fit!!) but mine is in MUCH, MUCH worse condition than all of the others I've seen...he's been/still is so well loved that he's missing lots of fur

You could probably find one of these Simba plushies on eBay or in a charity shop. They have not been sold new in stores since 1994-1995. They are reasonably common on eBay though. Finding one with the cardboard base is harder though.

Cool! Thanks, I will look there.

I used to have this plush although the one i used to have the head was better shaped. I miss my simba plush my mum made me get rid of practically all my plushies saying they were for lil kids

You are never too old for stuffed animals. I am an adult and I still collect them and I know of a lot of other adults who do as well. Thanks for your comment.

I have one. I sleep with him every night and I'm going to be 24 years old in September. I love this plush the most.
My best friend, she had a plush like him for years and years since we were babies.. and I begged my parents to find me one just like him, and everything.. and no such a luck.. and finally about an year ago, I found one on eBay for about 5 bucks.. brand new and everything, and I had been sleeping with him ever since.
<3.

I still sleep with a stuffed Simba most nights too, I have since I was young. This is the Simba I have slept with since I was a kid [link] . My Simba looks pretty old now, but he still is my favorite. I am married and 28 now, you are never too old for plush. I bet there are probably a lot of adults out there who still have or sleep with a favorite stuffed animal.

I was wondering what was up with the odd choice of color. I never thought much of it until I got older.
