The 'Online Exclusive [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urupochachan) Kanga & Roo' is the newest addition to [Build-A-Bear's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-a-bear) '[Winnie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragon-plushies) the Pooh' plush collection. The pair are vital characters found in the 'Winnie the Pooh' series as Kanga is the caring, motherly figure and Roo is the optimistic and adventurous child.

An interesting point about Kanga's design has a functional front pouch that consumers can place the mini Roo plush into. As for Roo's design, he sports his signature bright blue shirt. The plush set is what Build-A-Bear calls its "extra-snuggly size," measuring at 16 inches in height.

Fans can complete their Disney collection by purchasing the other characters such as Pooh Bear, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore, available on the Build-A-Bear online store.
