The Build-a-bear Lion King range which has shoppers obsessed

Disney fans can now get their hands on Lion King toys at Build-a-Bear.

Merchandise for the hugely anticipated live-action remake of the animated film has been popping up all over the high street, but now fans can make their very own teddy thanks to the toy workshop.

Starting form £21.50, shoppers can take home young Simba, young Nala and the adult versions, as well as Pumbaa and Timone.

The collection includes a selection of outfits and accessories, so every Disney lover can make their favourite character entirely their own.

Fans have taken to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to express their excitement.

Leanne Walmsley tagged a friend and commented: "are we going to build a bear soon I love these!"

A further user wrote: "how cute do these look I want one for myself lol xxx"

Another commented: "I need these in my life"

And, a fellow Facebook user said: "I think they're meant to look like the 'live action' lion king not the animated one which might be why they look weird."

The store is a firm favourite with families and shoppers alike, with events such as its popular 'Pay Your Age' leading to lengthy queues of people keen to take advantage of the offer.
