New licensed toys are on the way in celebration of the upcoming premiere of the Ariel series on Disney Junior and Disney+ this week.
The animated preschool series stars Mykal-Michelle Harris as a young Ariel, and features fan-favorite characters from the original film such as King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian, Flounder, and more. Ahead of the premiere, Disney has revealed new toys inspired by the series from LEGO and Just Play.

The Disney Junior Splash & Glow Ariel Doll from Just Play, designed for kids ages 3 and up, is customizable with the included hair beads and tiara. Kids can press the doll’s shell necklace to hear sound effects and the new show’s theme song. When in water, Ariel’s tail glows with rainbow lights and sprays water in a skirt-like display.
Just Play also revealed the Disney Junior Ariel Deluxe Atlantica Palace Playset, designed for kids ages 3 and up. The playset includes four figures from the show: Ariel, Fernie, Flounder, and Sebastian. Each of the mermaids has a tail that changes color when dipped in icy water, with tail fins that let them stand without assistance. The palace includes buttons for activating lights and sounds, a two-story elevator, and a dance floor.
The two new LEGO sets will be available July 1 at the LEGO Store. The new Just Play toys are available for preorder on Amazon now and will launch early August.
