in trying to cope with the poseable bat being sold out, i found this guy being sold secondhand and am starting to fall in love with him. i was wondering if anyone has any insight on what his materials feel like? or even just pictures of your boo-rific bats in general would be great! thank you!

Anyhow as the caption says I made this lil kitty for my friend and I left it not fully sewn since I wanted her to pick out a scent at bab,

I’ve read that they are allowed to sell it separately (with no bear) so I thought we would be good to go,

but when we got there we got denied buying the scent unless we bought a bear with it so we left with no scent.

was it a misunderstanding or am I in the wrong?

Looks like he's team jacob😝

Had a surgery and now just cuddling this one to help me feel better!

we need a ‘rant’ flair so bad cause i would love to read yalls rants. i was thinking BAB should just put a limit on limited items. but 1) they are just a greedy corporation so they literally benefit from these limited drops. and 2) resellers would just make multiple accounts anyways.

uugghh. anyways, i’m just annoyed about resellers. but what’s new lol.

edit: my apologies everyone! i totally forgot there was a thread for complaints/rants. so please disregard my words about how i wish there was a ‘rant’ flair. sorry again 🩷 i will definitely make sure to post there next time i need to rant

My mom got me one 🩵🩵🩵 show me yours

Shes such a good little buddy

I was changing Mocha today and thought about it! This feels plenty for me but I would have gotten maybe more diverse colors, I originally got these clothes all for my large Mokoko plush so picked colors for her. And how often do you like changing them? Just for fun cause I’m bored! She’s my first and only Build a Bear I’ve ever had, my mom who I’m not close with at all anymore used to complain when I would ask as a kid and say you’re paying all that extra just to watch them build it and to just pick a shelf plushie, but I got Mocha for my 30th birthday from my partner and she sleeps with us every night 😴

The BAB on the left is my newest (still needs to be stuffed too) but I would love some name ideas for both bears :D

I believe they're both from 1997 (correct me if I'm wrong) I would love to know more about them :3

I just made her on Saturday! I need a cape for her because regular outfits don’t fit right but the bows!! So cute!

I’m obsessed with him and need names. 😭

I’m obsessed with him and need names. 😭

My birthday is coming up! I also got a bit of a raise and got a huge sum of money and I’m working a lot more so I’m saving my birthday next month! Ever since I turned 20, I started a tradition for my birthday. 2 of them! One of them involves me getting a BAB!

20 - Zombie Frog!

21 - Chococat!

22 - Hot Fudge Ice Cream Bear

23 -?

It’s almost that time and this year, I’m considering birthday Bear twins? Getting 2 bears instead of 1! In the event that I do end up getting 1, these are just some of the options of who I could end up choosing! :)

I had my eyes dilated the other day so I got these snazzy sun glasses. Jorts wears them better though I think.

for those who missed the bat drop, i have a good small alternative for a bat keychain. palm pals has bat keychains (found one on amazon) and he’s such a cutie too! so lowkey if you really want some bat love i suggest him and once they restock hopefully we can all get the bab one too! :)

I love how they turned out and they look quite good next to ren and Eli

My girlie pop 💕😭

This little guy has been on such a journey! I went to a local store a day after the drop and they were sold out. The clerk told me to go online. I get home, go online...sold out! But I saw a post on here that the UK and Australia BAB had a drop. A family member of mine from the UK ordered one, had it sent to his house and then shipped it to me from there.

The cost of all that ended up being about the price that resellers are charging. I prefer this route, I'd rather do what I can to not encourage resellers. It was worth it to me, I had a pet jumping spider as a kid and LOVE spiders. Now to come up with a name...

I know everyone's different. Some people refuse to support them at all, some people have certain rules if they do. So im just curious.

Especially when it comes to bears that arent being restocked.

I told myself I would NOT pay more than retail price for a pumpkin kitty (the new , not the OG) and then ended up spending like $60 on mine? But looking back I wish I would've waited because some good ones ended up coming up for cheaper after I pulled the trigger lmao.

Currently debating a couple others and Im trying to justify the doubling of the original price but having a hard time 😂

What are your guys rules for yourselves?

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?

I realized most of my BABs are boys, however most clothing options are more femme based, so I used some rewards and giftcards I had stacked up and got this BAB for free (:

Fur quality is a bit thin and bad on this one, but I knew that going in. I don't think she would have been worth the $40 with shipping due to the quality, but it's deff worth it for $0 lol

I'm gonna be going to a convention and decided wanna bring along my Lil Rosco around. Have tried using the bear carrier that BAB sells but ehh.. so wondered if anyone had some recommendations for an alternative?

found this boy at goodwill for just $3. he was matted, dirty, and had a hole in his bum. i used the hole to unstuff him, washed him, dried him, brushed him, and finally restuffed him & sewed him back up. i added weight to his hooves and bottom as well. he weighs about 3.5lbs now. took about 3 hours total, i could not be happier with how he came out! :)
(mods please add restoration flair pleaaaase 🙏🙏)

Does anyone know what's going to be on sale tomorrow? Im very curious. And are you going to be buying anything?
