Disney's official merchandise store added 84 new items from its 2026 D23 event, one standout being the massive 10-inch Pixar Ball.

The Pixar Ball, also known as Luxo Ball, debuted in Pixar's 1986 short film Luxo Jr. and has since become a symbol of the company.
Over the years, the ball has graced the silver screen in numerous movies, video games, and shorts, including the recent Toy Story 5. The 10-inch ball, made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), is priced at $19.99 and is designed for playful use rather than display. It's significantly larger than a typical playground ball and is meant to be a functional item.
Previously, the 4-inch version was available, but the new one is a substantial upgrade, better suited for playing with.
