Moana toys are always a hit, but with our favourite wayfinder sailing back onto screens in Moana 2, these toys are bound to disappear faster than Maui can shapeshift into a bird! If your little one is crazy about Disney toys and can’t get enough of Moana, now’s the time to grab these must-haves before Moana mania kicks into full gear. Remember when Buzz Lightyear dolls sold out right before Christmas 25 years ago? Yep, '90s kids still feel that heartbreak—and you definitely don’t want a repeat of that!
There's no denying that Disney is a huge part of childhood. Whether they had a soft and snuggly Disney toy when they were born or have had a few playsets, there's something magical about playing with Disney toys, especially when it's characters from their favourite film.
