Starbucks Korea Sets April 15 Launch for Toy Story 5 Drinks and Merchandise

The early rollout shows Starbucks using a region-only drop to stoke demand weeks before Pixar's June release.

Overview

  • Starbucks Korea announced the Toy Story 5 tie-in on Tuesday, setting an April 15 start for limited items in stores across South Korea.
  • New menu options include character drinks themed to Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, plus treats featuring Forky and the Little Green Alien, including a Slinky Sausage Bread.
  • The merchandise lineup features Woody and Jessie mugs with hat lids, a Slinky Dog mug, several tumblers including one with a Bullseye figurine topper, small character cups, a Jessie bag, and a Lilypad pillow.
  • Bearista plush toys dressed as Forky, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and a Little Green Alien arrive the same day, with the alien bear shown holding a Starbucks cup in the preview video.
  • No wider rollout has been announced, which has fans outside Korea voicing FOMO, and the tie-in lands well ahead of Toy Story 5’s June 19 U.S. release.
