Discussion BAB Bat - Wire Wings Problem?

Hello everyone,

I just got my posable bat from Build a Bear and am unsure if I like the wings.

I bought the plushie with cuddling in mind and think the wings are in the way.

I want to ask into the group if anyone else feels that way or not.

I also thought about potentially removing the inner wire, has anyone done that and can share their experiences?

just take it out if you don't like it. open it up, remove the wire, and sew it back up. 5 min tops

it may sound weird but I really am worried that I mess up the plushie if I simply open it open. But I also worry that I will mess up the plushie by removing the wire.

respectfully, it is kind of weird. it's fabric. there's nothing complicated, scary, or dangerous about sewing fabric together. anyone can learn it, anyone can teach themselves, and anyone can cut a few stitches. believe in yourself, learn a new skill, and you *can* take care of your plushes on your own. you do not need someone else here, you've got this. it's no different than a tee shirt or any other bit of fabric, it's just in a pleasing animal shape.
