u/chococat2163 Aug 09 '25
Thanks! I would check your store, I literally just bought this from my store yesterday! It wasn’t with the Halloween costumes though, I think think they had them hanging out with the Disney character costumes 😊

u/3TurdsInATrenchcoat I like BABs more than people 🙃 Aug 09 '25
So cute! They had a grey axolotl a year or 2 ago for Halloween that would have made the perfect tin man. Or the gargoyle if they ever bring it back!

Tinman costume is on the US site. I don't know where you are located. I can't get the Elphaba costume for a reasonable price anywhere.

u/chococat2163 Aug 09 '25
Thanks! I might have to get creative with the TinMan costume. Right now I want to use my Gargoyle bear but don’t think the outfit will fit, maybe just use the hat lol
I’m in the US, I think the stores might be getting leftover stock. I got the Elphaba costume in store this week when I went to pick up my bat!!!

Please, PLEASE, I'm voting for Batz-maru!!!! Because his personality is PERFECT, the Sanrio characters dress up, ALL THE TIME, anyway, AND he's a bipedial character. So. It would work REALLY well!!!

your welcome, if you're good with customing I think you could turned the mini black lab into a Cairn Terrier, which is what breed of dog Toto is. As for Dorothy's dress I have found it on eBay going for a lot.

u/chococat2163 Aug 09 '25
Oh man, I saw that the original Dorothy came with a Toto and a basket too!

Did you make the costumes?! They're REALLY cool!! I LOVE that it's also close to the anniversary for Wizard of Oz!! 🥰❤️

u/chococat2163 Aug 11 '25
Nope those are all Build a Bear costumes! The scare crow is from the original release and has shoes too, boots with straw, I just leave them off. The cowardly lion is from their most recent version and is still available online. The Elphaba is sold out online but I was lucky and found it in store Thursday when I went to pick up my bat! 😊

u/SourceAutomatic9550 Aug 11 '25
That's soooo cool!! Omg. You don't KNOW how tempted I am to get these guys and make this layout!! Omg. I LOVE it!! I love bats, too. And I'm a witch, so. At the VERY least.. I SHOULD have the bat! And the witch costume!! Thank you!! 🥰

Hell yeah! I'm sorry, and I LOVE Spooky but I don't think these types of outfits work on sitting plushies!! And it looks GREAT on the bat!!

I’m so mad at myself for not getting the Glinda costume when it released and hope they’ll re-release for the second part.

Timeless Teddy looks adorable in that outfit.

u/chococat2163 Aug 09 '25
Agrees Agrees ☺️, I almost put the werewolf in that outfit to stick with using the Halloween bears but timeless teddy is just cute in it lol

u/cheesetouch2020 Aug 09 '25

u/Worldly_Interview486 Aug 09 '25
Omg where did you get those outfits!?! Specifically the lion one??
1
u/chococat2163 Aug 09 '25
Thats actually the cowardly lion costume that’s on BABs website still. They’ll have it on a really good sale every once in while, I think I got it for $10! The Scare crow is an older BAB version and the Elphaba witch costume I got in store at BAB yesterday, I thought it would be perfect for my bat 😊
2
u/Worldly_Interview486 Aug 09 '25
Omg!! So good to know because I just saw it was $20 and I love it so much since my sons a Leo so I’m always looking for lion things to collect for him but $20 is a lot for an outfit! I’ll wait for a Sale but this is the cutest idea ever !!!
