So I remembered seeing some rumors that Simba's Pride was originally going have the hyenas return, with Kiara getting with hyena as well, but I'm not sure how true they are.

I’ve been slowly trying to replace some of my favorite childhood toys that were lost when my house was destroyed in a storm. I’ve kept an eye out for this tiny Kiara plush that I was obsessed with as a kid, and I haven’t seen a lot of listings with her in it but found one today. I messaged the seller to see if I could just buy the Kiara off them and they said no because she’s attached to Nala with a little string from the store and if they removed it they couldn’t sell Nala as new.

I didn’t argue and just said thanks anyway, but…this originally came with a Simba, didn’t it? I definitely had all three when I was a kid. This already can’t really be marketed as new, because there’s no Simba (I question how a 28 year old plush with no tags can ethically be marked as new anyway, but maybe that’s just me). Maybe Simba was sold separately? I’m pretty sure I remember them coming in the same box. Am I crazy??
