FurReal Simba

On July 19, Jon Favreau’s reimagined version of Disney‘s The Lion King hits theaters, and Hasbro is adding an iconic character from the Pride Lands to its FurReal Friends lineup.

Disney’s The Lion King Mighty Roar Simba by FurReal embodies all the fun, charm, and humor of animation’s most famous lion cub, and he’s ready to go on adventures with kids ages 4 and up. The interactive Simba responds to touch and sound with more than 100 sound and motion combinations, and comes to life moving his head, eyes, ears, mouth, legs, & tail. Kids can roar at Simba and he’ll roar back to see who is the loudest, and they can also offer the cub his favorite treat — grub on a stick.

FurReal Lion King

The Lion King Mighty Roar Simba by FurReal is available for preorder through Walmart, and will be available at most major toy retailers beginning in June.
