Disney Tsum Tsum Plush - Howard Stark (Marvel Avengers)
Disney Store / Marvel · Toys & Games > Plushies & Stuffed Animals
Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (approx. 2016). Dating clues include the white sewn-in tag style and the peak popularity of the Tsum Tsum Marvel collection released during that time.
Material
Polyester fibers and plastic pellets (beans) in the base for weighted sitting. Features embroidered facial details and felt-like fabric accents.
Condition
Very Good. The plush shows minor surface lint and slight softening of the fabric from handling, but no visible stains, tears, or fraying. The tush tags are intact but appear slightly wrinkled.
Demand Level
Niche/Low. While Tsum Tsums were a massive craze, the market is currently saturated. Howard Stark is a character for 'completionist' collectors rather than casual fans.

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Presence of multiple cloth tush tags with Disney and Marvel copyright information, quality of embroidery, and correct character proportions for the official line.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari. These platforms are best for small collectibles that can be shipped cheaply in bubble mailers. Also suitable for 'Lot' sales if you have other Marvel Tsum Tsums.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Retired', 'Stackable', and 'MCU'. Because of the low individual value, this item is best sold as part of a Marvel plush bundle to save the buyer on shipping costs. If selling solo, use USPS First Class/Ground Advantage for the lowest shipping rate.
