Woolworths customers are racing to stores after the supermarket giant quietly released Disney-themed Ooshies in time for Easter.

The new figurines are Mickey and Minnie Mouse, two of the franchise's most popular characters, and are available to purchase for $10.

'Oh, I love this, I have a two-weeks old baby so these Ooshies will definitely be her Easter gift,' one woman said.

'I agree, they are beautiful and something kids can keep for ever,' another said.

The Ooshies are already being handed out in NSW, Queensland and Victoria, according to excited customers who have already taken them home.

But some people weren't sold on the idea.

'Why is it all just Mickey and friends there are so many other wonderful Disney characters they could have oh well saved my money,' one woman said.

The Ooshies have been released alongside a Mickey and friends Easter Disney range. 

The retailer launched Woody and Buzz figurines alongside their Halloween collection last year.

The new release comes after the supermarket chain was forced to cut their last Ooshie promotion short - after there was an unprecedented demand for the plastic figurines.

Shoppers began collecting the 36 Ooshies characters with every $30 they spent in the Australian grocery store on August 26, 2020 only to be disappointed when the store ran out of stock on September 27. 

'Our Disney+ Ooshies resonated well with customers of all ages and their demand completely exceeded our expectations,' Woolworths' director of stores Robert Moffat said. 

The popular collection included silver, gold, colour changing, glow in the dark, additional glitter editions, and ultra rare furry Thor and Baby Yoda Ooshies.
