Here is again a post of my humble collection of things I never threw away in honor of the big news that I just found out about today. Disney is making a sequel to The Lion King in the form of a TV-movie and show! Read more here http://tvline.com/2014/06/10/disney-junior-lion-king-sequel-series-the-lion-guard/
Isn't that neat or what? Okay, so the show is going to be aimed for younger kids (age 2-7), which sounds a little weird first, but then again who cares? The back of the VHS tape's says that the age recommendation is from 8 years and up (on the Blu-ray it's 7 years). I remember that I was only 4 or 5 years old when I saw the original movie in theaters. Besides this new show is bound to be more kid friendly because they probably already took care of all the family feuds they could think up in the movies, no more daddies thrown down the cliffs by evil uncles or murderous/suicidal mother-in-laws........ awww! ( ಠ_ಠ)
Naturally, I have the two movies. For the record, I haven't seen The Lion King 1 ½ (or 3 depending on which country you're from) because I've only heard bad things about it.
Original trio. I've had these three figures since my childhood, Sarabi was the first one I got and the Scar figure was originally my brother's. On the Simba & Nala figure there is a clearly visible seam, as a kid, I used to try to tear them apart from each other! Now in hindsight, I'm glad I never managed to do that. :D Sadly, there are some irremovable smudges on the figures and the original paint is worn out here and there.
I think I got the Pumba figure from a relative and I bought the two Simba figures (the other one is significantly more scuffed up) from a flea market together with....
....sleeping Mufasa and Simba figure, which is so adorable!
Kiara or Simba? iron on patch. Honestly, I have no recollection of how this came into my possession, but it's cute all the same.
Happy Meal toys Kovu x2 and Zira. Not exactly the prettiest ones around, if you squeeze the toys they make a noise that sounds more like a pig rather than a lion. I found this old French McDonald's commercial on YouTube promoting these toy's http://youtu.be/nlskILl_7Hc
Smarties tube toppers. Kiara with a butterfly, a very creepy roaring Simba and a broken one which was Rafiki holding cub Kiara. The tail feathers of Zazu, which is all that remains, came from something called Nestlé Magic Chocolate Surprise egg and amazingly there is even a video about those on YouTube http://youtu.be/vrdpvI9yx6o
Coloring book with mazes, connect the dots, find five differences and so on. Here are a few selected pages from the book, I can't really tell the difference which pages were done by my brother and which ones I colored.
Nailed it!
Apparently I have a few stickers as well!

Found a children's book, the whole story of the movie in 4 pages! And the cub is a boy!

Zazu has been reunited with his tail feathers! I can't believe I found it...
