The collection includes more than 70 items across figures, plush toys, apparel, lifestyle goods, and mobile accessories. Character designs incorporate the label’s signature daisy motif. Featured characters include Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex, Alien, and Forky. Disney Korea describes the partnership as its first large-scale collaboration with a K-pop artist that extends beyond merchandise into a broader retail experience. The release combines recognizable character designs with elements associated with the fashion label. Promotional images were shared through the artist’s social media channels ahead of launch.
