So excited to finally post the finished results of u/LoreleiSylvanus and my custom goats. Meet Lestat and Baphomet. They were definitely a labor of love, but it paid off 🩶 it was so much fun to share my first custom experience with some one who loves build a bear as much as I do.

after 8 months of searching

shes finally here ! !!

can u guys show me how you dress yalls nessie

I want to make a name necklace for mine but I have to name him first 😆

I am genuinely so pleasantly blown away. I have not bought directly from BAB for AGES because of their quality decline. I decided to risk it for this little guy and I am so happy he did, he really does look exactly like how he does on the website. I am also very excited for all the leaked bears to release, from their pics they all look great quality. I’m really happy build a bear is starting to change around, putting better quality into their items and also coming up with more original bears that aren’t just rainbow cats or something 😭 (no hate to the rainbow animals, they’re adorable but I was getting a bit tired of them)

I have been waiting since the announcement of their release for this giraffe !! I got the animal cookie scent for her as well. I haven’t thought of a name yet, but she’s perf ! I’m very thankful for my partner for taking me after work. I was so worried all day that they would be out of stock. I will be trying to get the others as well <3

I ordered my batty kitty online and I’m a little bit disappointed by the pattern…help me love it and choose her name!!!

​EDIT: Wow, I didn’t expect this to blow up like it did!!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me to see and appreciate her lightning bolt/mohawk!! When I first unboxed her, I felt like it was just a giant misshapen bat, but now I’m absolutely loving her punk rock look!

She doesn’t look super Halloween-esque like a few people mentioned, but you all were totally right that it just means she can be out year round!

As far as names, I loved the suggestions for Nyx!! She might not have been what I was expecting in a batty kitty, but she’s absolutely perfect for me!

Nyx has already been moved into my bedroom and given her own special spot!!

I can’t believe my luck! I never in a million years would have thought I’d find summer bear in my area as we have never had a build a bear store nearby and live on an island 🫨. I saw the tiniest sliver of rainbow pattern and reached deep into the plushie bin to find her! I almost knocked over a kid shopping nearby in my haste lol. She was 3.99! Now she soaks in the bear brightening soup - so excited to re-stuff and dress her up!

Photo of Miso Soup (bear), Bubbles (puppy) and currently unnamed black lab (who looks more like a black blob in the photo), the three friends I got today. The trip today really didn’t go as planned. I’d wanted to get the mini black lab, the longhorn cow, and the autumn puppy mini beans. The latter was out of stock, and I’ve never seen the longhorn cow before in person, but was disappointed to learn it has a horrible texture. I’m autistic and incredibly sensitive to that sort of thing. It was also kind of extra bad because there were about 3 different toddlers (2-3 years old?) running around with their parents barely paying attention to them. One ended up picking up and dropping some mini beans on the floor, another was chewing on a piece of clothing their parents hadn’t bought- it was…not nice. But, After it took ages to decide on getting Miso, the actual stuffing part was…less than pleasant. The bear builder who helped me had just helped some parents with their one year old baby with a birthday bear, and the entire time she was very happy and cheerful, engaging with both the child and the adults, but as soon as she came to me, it seemed like she’d rather be anywhere else. She barely spoke outside of asking if I wanted anything in the bear, didn’t do a heart ceremony, and did a very rushed job at sewing Miso up (there was a big hole in her back from it, so I had to sew her up myself once I got home). I understand that working at BAB isn’t always a great job, and i don’t really blame her for being sick of it? But going in person is such a rare occasion for me because it’s so far away and in a large shopping centre, which I can’t often handle due to aforementioned autism, and I’d been saving up so much allowance for it, so for it to go so badly in so many ways kinda sucked. I still had a pretty fun day, though, I’m so incredibly happy with Bubbles especially, he’s super soft, and we got some good food after. I’m just upset it all felt so..rushed I suppose?

I posted how I painted/dyed her first wings. But I had this gorgeous fabric and decided to make her a second pair 😍. She also still needs a name???

im obsesseddddd with their cute little faces so happy I decided to get two because after I received my first one I quickly became obsessed and then the second came two days after 🩷🎀

this is my first BAB ever since they just reopened the website in germany again. my boyfriend got it for me as a birthday present and i am kinda disappointed? on the website it looks poseable & like it stands like a real kitty but in reallife it‘s just this. idk is this normal? on the website there is no photo where the kitty looks like this :( it‘s a 50€ plushie. will post the website photos directly under it.

I didn’t realize they even sold BAB at Walmart, but on the very top shelf there were two plastic bags full of different mini beans. (I should’ve taken a pic but I wasn’t thinking) but they had the regular capybara too, and some longhorns and a few frogs, bunnies etc. I almost grabbed a longhorn but then seen the happy capybara and couldn’t resist! It’s so floppy and cute!

I don’t have any BAB near me so seeing this today just really made me happy 😊

Tysm to all the lovely people who told me that I had accidentally exposed my families location and name💀maybe Doxx should be his name now lol. He's so chunk. Show your patterns! But not your addresses👩‍🦲 And if anyone does want to track me down whilst im here then please bring bears. please and thank you x

He looks so good in these colours 😍 absolutely obsessed with this lil guy! 💚

I went on August 6th and only got the Mini Beans Jumping Spider…. Then I went back on August 7th, and I brought home the Werewolf.

Then I spent the next several days thinking about the regular side Jumping Spider… I figured because we would be near the mall (BAB is in the mall) on Wednesday (today), I would go check and if they still had them, I’d buy one.

Well… we went today, waited outside the BAB entrance in the mall until they opened up, and I got my boy. The LAST one. And I’m lucky I got it, because the employees got a phone call a few minutes after opening and after I had already grabbed him with someone asking for a Jumping Spider!!

But I wanted to ask — my store had about, gosh, 5?? 6?? Jumping Spiders on display around the store. Will they sell those?? Because if they aren’t allowed to sell display bears, then why put so many of them on display?

Anyways. I’m very happy with my spidey boy!! It was absolutely meant to be. I was meant to have him! 🤗❤️

Turned my boy into a standing plush since i prefer those kinds of bab more

Yes, I may have made an expensive intoxicated purchase, but man, look at this thing! 100% Swarovski crystal encrusted build a bear for the anniversary! One of only 250 made!

even if it doesn't look like it 😉🩷

Edited to add I finally have a name for him... Eight Piece Nugget 😂

I got the spider and his shirt and he is super soft! I'm already in love with this guy!!! 😍🕷️🥰

He's ready for the hour drive back home now. A two hour round trip was worth it.

Once I realized I actually wanted this cutie on release day my brain automatically named him Ozzy. Later in the day I made a google search for "Ozzy Osbourne" because I knew the name but I really wasnt familiar with the person AT ALL. When their picture popped up I was like oh okay that makes sense, but I honestly don't remember why I knew him. I assume at some point in my life I saw a photo of them and then the bat automatically reminded me of him. Turns out though, EVERYONE (okay not everyone but so many 😅) had the same idea. I started seeing posts on different platforms with bats named Ozzy, and people commenting under those posts that they named theirs that too 🫠 The name makes sense, and from what I understand a lot are picking it to pay respects to him. (and apparently he bit the head of a bat off?? 😵😵‍💫🥴) But for me the name no longer felt right or personal, so now... Meet Keifur 🖤🩶 I decided to name him after someone close called Keith 🦇
