Topps Disney Wonder Card #163 - Raya: The Cartoon Princess Who Steals the Set!
Trust the Dragon, Trust the Card - Raya Has Arrived in Topps Disney Wonder! ✨
Hello, wonderful collectors! You know that feeling when you split open a pack and something slides out that just makes you go quiet for a second? That warm, almost disbelieving little pause? That is exactly what pulling Card #163 - Raya: Cartoon Princess from the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder Base Set feels like. It is one of those cards that earns its own spot in your display before you even make it to the binder. I am so excited to talk about this one today, so let's step into Kumandra together! 🏰
Meet Card #163 - Raya: Cartoon Princess
Card 163 is part of the Base Cartoon Princess tier within the landmark debut release of 2025 Topps Disney Wonder. The Cartoon Princess subset spans cards 151 through 163, featuring thirteen of the most iconic Disney animated princesses rendered in that gorgeous, painterly, storybook-inspired art style that makes this set so uniquely charming. Raya closes out the tier at number 163 as the final card in the run - and honestly, what a way to land the last spot.
The illustrated art style of Topps Disney Wonder is a real treat for collectors who appreciate craftsmanship over flash. Rather than photography or straight Chrome polish, the Wonder set leans into a whimsical and painterly aesthetic that feels like a watercolor fairytale brought to card stock. Raya herself is rendered in her warrior silhouette - strong, poised, and radiant with that signature teal and purple color palette. Her expression carries the same fierce determination and subtle warmth that made her one of the most dynamic Disney heroines in recent memory. The Cartoon Princess tier lends her a softness that balances her warrior spirit beautifully.
Raya and the Wonder Set - The Full Picture
If you are building the complete 2025 Topps Disney Wonder base set, Raya actually appears across multiple card numbers, and that makes her a genuinely exciting character to chase throughout the full 190-card set. In Base Tier 1, Card #92 features Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon, and Card #93 spotlights Sisu - her dragon companion and one of the most delightful supporting characters in any Disney film of the past decade. For those who are true set builders, you will want both the Tier 1 Raya and this Cartoon Princess version to complete your full Raya collection within Wonder.
The broader set is incredible company for Card 163. The full 190 cards span Tier 1, Tier 2, Cartoon Princess, Live-Action Princess, Cartoon Villain, and Live-Action Villain tiers. There are also irresistible inserts to chase - Furry Friends falls at 1:4 packs and would be perfect for Tuk Tuk lovers, Castles Cottages and Casas drops at 1:9 packs and brings the world of Kumandra to mind immediately, and Tapestries at 1:9 Hobby packs deliver original artwork in a collectible tapestry-style format that I am absolutely obsessed with. The SHINY Chrome cards inspired by Tamatoa add a sparkling dimension that set builders and parallel collectors will both love.
Every card in Topps Disney Wonder is a small act of trust - trust that the art, the character, and the magic of Disney are worth holding in your hands. Raya would approve.
A Personal Note on Raya
I remember watching Raya and the Last Dragon for the first time and being completely swept up in it. The Southeast Asian-inspired world, the road-trip structure, the whole question of whether you can trust a stranger - it hit differently than most Disney films. Raya is a warrior princess who leads with a sword and a wound, and her arc is genuinely moving. Seeing her land in the Cartoon Princess tier of Topps Disney Wonder alongside Snow White, Cinderella, and Ariel felt like a moment - like she had finally taken her rightful place in the princess lineup in a big, beautiful way. 💖
Collector Notes and Rarity Context
The Base Cartoon Princess tier sits at 1:20 odds in Hobby boxes and 1:12 in Mega boxes, which means these cards are not falling in every pack - they require some dedicated box breaking or careful singles hunting. For set builders, this is a key tier to complete. For Disney Princess character collectors, Raya in the Cartoon Princess tier is a must-have because of the distinct illustrated art style and the tiered placement that separates these cards from the standard Tier 1 base. Parallel chasers will want to keep an eye on the Gold Foil numbered to 50, Orange Foil to 25, Black Sparkle Foil to 10, Red Sparkle Foil to 5, and the stunning FoilFractor 1-of-1.
Display and Storage Ideas
For protecting this beauty, I always start with a double-sleeve combo - sliding the card into an Ultra Pro PRO-Matte Eclipse Card Sleeves inner sleeve first, then tucking the whole thing into an Ultra Pro Toploader (Regular) for that crisp, display-ready look without any flex or bend risk. If you are organizing the full Cartoon Princess run of all thirteen cards together, a few pages from an Ultra Pro 9-Pocket Pages setup make the tier look absolutely stunning when flipped through - all those princess portraits lined up in a row is genuinely one of the happiest things a binder can hold.
Once I had mine sorted, I opened the Collectiblz app and marked Card #163 as Have on my Topps Disney Wonder checklist - watching that completion percentage tick up is its own little reward.
Final Thoughts
Card #163 - Raya: Cartoon Princess from 2025 Topps Disney Wonder is a must-have for Disney Princess collectors, set builders working through all 190 cards, and anyone who has a soft spot for a warrior princess who learned to trust again. She closes out the Cartoon Princess tier in style, she pops on that storybook art, and she belongs in every Disney card collection that takes the princess lineup seriously. Go find her - she is worth every pack it takes. ✨
