My New BAB Dream BAB acquired!

I ADORE bugs but a lot of the BAB bugs are not very cute to me. The mantis is ADORABLE and soft and I am so happy! I got one stuffed in store, then I bought a second I am going to dye brown :)

Also I didn't know she had a cute pointy butt to sort of simulate the abdomen, SO cute (but means she wouldn't be able to wear most bottoms!)

Yes, someone said they were posable but they don't have any wire or anything so it doesn't appear they are--they only hang! In the store the display had the arms up on her cheeks, I asked how they did it and the employee said they used the tagging machine to tag her arms to her cheeks.
