Here is a short list of
some places where different Kimba items can be purchased. I've mentioned
here the places from which I bought some Kimba items and the places I
found in the meantime, but I'm not affiliated in any way with them. (If
you know some other places where other Kimba items can be found, please
let me know)

eBay usually sells various Kimba posters (mostly
1997 "Jungle Emperor Leo" movie posters) and other
anime items.
______
Eanime
Eanime
on
eBay from time to time sells various Kimba plushes,
such as Kimba plush, Kitty plush, Kimba and/or Kitty plushes

______
UFO
Catcher (NeoToys)
On
UFO Catcher's website
you could order the 2003 Kimba the White
Lion UFO catcher plush (shown left) that was produced
by a japanese company called Banpresto, but it was sold out
in the meantime (still you may want to check this
page if any new Kimba plush for sale appeared on
UFO Catcher's website in the meantime). Plushes like these
were never available in any store, they were only available
as prizes in the claw machines in japanese arcades or amusement
parks.
______
KimbaKids.com
A
new (recently started) website KimbaKids.com
offers episodes from the 1993 Kimba
remake on DVD and VHS, and soon it will offer Kimba/animal finger
puppets. However, the way of selling the DVDs and videotapes
is a bit unusual: Each next DVD or VHS with 4 new episodes will
be available each 6-8 weeks, and only one volume will be sold
at a time. Please visit the website for more information.
Unfortunately, the KimbaKids.com
website went down in the meantime, and because a lot of time
has passed since then, it probably went offline for good.

White Lion Restorations
Another Kimba the White Lion fan has managed to brilliantly restore the very first version of the episode of the original Kimba series (titled Little Kimba), as well as the complete Leo the Lion series. Along with these DVDs, you can find there his first Leo DVD with 3 uncut episodes (Leo the Lion - Special Edition), and the DVD with favorite 4 episodes from the Leo the Lion series (4 Favorite Episodes), as well as some other stuff. All these DVDs contain uncut and complete episodes, with crystal clear image and crystal clear sound. Highly recommended!
