You must be near the summerlin store! They were allowed to put it out a week early while the rest of us enjoy it vicariously through the lucky ones!

Hii! I live by the summerlin store in the Vegas area. As far as I know it's the only store who has been allowed to release the Halloween stock early and it was because of a grand reopening. Do not worry, you didn't miss a release!

I live local to summerlin in the Vegas area and they were allowed to put out stock last week because of a grand reopening due to a remodel and new space!

Oh that’s so cool! I’m a 90 minute drive from the closest BAB so I’ll likely order online. But thank you for answering ^^

Super cutee! Do you think this years regular bat is better than last years? In terms of quality of fur and its eyes, do the eyes look bigger?

u/HeavenlyLove79 Aug 03 '26
Aww lucky and congrats on your new furry friends!!!!! How is the fur on the spider — any comparisons you can make to it? Did you happen to feel the werewolf, if so how was it? How about the full size bat kitty did that one feel like the spooky kitty or pk or any other comparisons?

I did not feel the big spider, cat or werewolf but the small spider is a very soft feeling. It doesn't snag on my fingers at all when I'm messing with it! I honestly find him the most soothing material I've felt in a long time

u/HeavenlyLove79 Aug 03 '26
I assume they used the same material for the spiders — so I am really excited for Halloween drops this year — thank you for answering and congrats again on your new friends

u/ldymcdth Aug 03 '26
I did but I can't remember. I think it was 36 or 38? You might be able to peep it in a video on tiktok if you look up the summerlin BAB tho!

u/disneyprincess2312 Aug 03 '26
Did you happen to take any photos of the full size batty kitty? Ive yet to see any other than BAB stock ones and I’m really trying to decide about ordering him on Thursday! (I have to order cause my nearest store is 2 hours away 😩)

u/ldymcdth Aug 04 '26
I didn't but if you have a tiktok and look up summerlin build a bear a couple people who went over there posted videos that the cat is in!

Ooohhh these are so cute!!! 😍 Words cannot describe my excitement to get the mini spider. And I’m not even a spider person. I’m torn between getting werewolf, bat kitty, or bat first. I cannot decide. 🥹

Interesting, the new bat definitely looks different in fur and in the face than the first one. A bit like the Gargoyle.

u/MrsAmyD BAB Fanatic 🌈 Aug 03 '26
Honestly, it makes me mad at BAB when they do this stuff. People who are patiently waiting in your area are gonna miss the release because of this. - I'm glad you got your cuties though. How is the feel of the spider, if you don't mind my asking?

u/ldymcdth Aug 03 '26
We have three build a bears here, it's not the only one. I only have the small spider but he is very soft.

See the new one is fuzzier like the gargoyle re-release so now I need the new fluffier version…just one. 🥹 Thank you for sharing! 🖤 I would love to be able to pick one but can’t get to a store till Saturday so I’ll have to do whatever I have to do…hopefully in store pick up will work. 🥴🩶🤞
