1994 Mattel - Baby Simba plush

Disney's The Lion King
Mattel - 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.
