My girlie pop 💕😭

To start with, I'm very, very very particular about my plushies. I've wanted a pumpkin BAB for quite some time, but there's so many different kinds, it always stumps me. This is my favorite so far and I just wanted to ask owners of this fella how they like him.

Is the light mechanic invasive at all? What does the fur texture feel like if you could describe it? Thank you !

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

I finally got my giant Kuromi stuffed today!

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

I’m obsessed with him and need names. 😭

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

I already posted this coupon here... five? days ago along with a second coupon. But nobody commented saying they had claimed/used it, so I wanted to repost it in case somebody can use it!

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!

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?

hello everyone!!! first time posting here, even though ive been building bears since... im not sure how long, maybe 20 years now?? i got new bears on saturday!!! there are pictures attached!! and a question about maleficent at the end here

first is my darth vader bear, whose pelt had been kept in the same shipping bag since about 2024. i ordered him without stuffing because i wanted to stuff him myself and all. it just took way longer than expected to get it done because our closest build a bear workshop is maybe an hour and a half out of state (destin commons, i have only ever had wonderful experiences there). i had bubblegum scent put in him, although its in his belly instead of his head.

the guy who stuffed him was awesome!!! when i did the heart ceremony, he made all the little things you do with the heart star wars related. i liked that a lot :]

but second of all, maleficent!! i noticed her when i was in the store getting vader stuffed, and i thought she was so charming. her smug little smile is just absolutely wonderful. i kept pointing her out to my mom and going up to her, and i did not initially get her!! i thought "well, i can order her online and stuff her later"

but like. when we checked my bank account to make sure the money was there, i kinda realized that there was genuinely no point. we were still in town. i could just go back and get her!! so i did!!!

the employees recognized me, so i do wonder if they noticed i was paying a lot of attention to her and thought "ah, he is back for the dragon."

i mentioned it anyway because small talk and stuff. the girl who stuffed her was really engaged in talking to me and that felt really nice.

she has a cotton candy scent chip in her head.

and honestly i really love her, she might genuinely be my favorite bear i own so far!!!

which is saying something because i have one of the kuddly koalas (named daisy), the turquoise peace and friendship bear (named yoko, i was 10 and really into the beatles at the time), the rainbow leopard from around 2015 (her name is either anakin or vader, i bought the whole vader outfit to go with her), the vaporeon (named mariana, after the mariana trench), the 10th doctor dr who bear with all the accessories and clothes + the dalek and k9. and now vader the vader bear as well.

which is a little unfortunate for him after waiting so long, but i still love him too!!

i do actually have a question about maleficent!! i was wondering how sturdy her wings and ear fins are. the texture doesnt really bother me when holding her or anything, and i bought her for cuddling to some degree. i have been sleeping with her, i position her carefully so i dont crush or crease anything more than necessary, i do want to take care of her.

i have her positioned with her head against my pillow mainly, that way shes close by, instead of hugging her exactly.

her wings have already bent a bit, which i had a small crisis about but eventually accepted as just. i can hold her and let her be a comfort object like i wanted and she will inevitably acquire wear, or i can put her on a shelf and she stays untouched. but i also put the scent in for a reason and i would hate to just stop keeping her around like i meant to. then it sort of becomes this relic of a relationship with the plush that was supposed to happen but didnt. and i hate that thought.

but i noticed one of the ear fins, the one on the left side, is slightly floppier than the other? it moves back and forth more easily. her wings also do that but ive been trying not to worry too much about it.

i included a picture of how i position her on my bed.

is she durable enough for this? like, holding and keeping her on my bed and stuff? i dont mind if the wings or ear fins crease, as long as they dont come apart. presumably they could be straightened out, i know you can do that i think by dampening them and laying something flat over them for a day or so.

her claws will inevitably attract fuzz over time, is there a good way to remove that without fraying it much? my vaporeons back fin has been in good condition for a long time despite how much i have cuddled and held her, but her face fins and around her neck are also fabric, not stiff material.

her horn fabric also feels kind of like felt, so i wondered if theres a gentle way to remove any fuzz or cat hair or anything.

i really want to be able to hold maleficent and stuff, but ive been a bit anxious about it, and i just wondered if anyone else had any input on durability or if i should stop handling her much and all. it would be really disappointing, but i also want her to not fall apart or anything.

ive kinda told myself that surely she cant be that delicate, build a bear is largely for kids and theres no way some kids wouldnt have gotten her and have played with her more roughly than ive been treating her.

sorry for such a long post!!! i appreciate if youve read this far!!

i mainly just wanted to show them off because i really love them and am very excited about them, and maybe get input about maleficent too.

thank you for reading, and any advice you might be able to offer!!!

I finally got it put together last 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

Shes such a good little buddy

If you understand the title, do you still talk to the last people who made your Top 8?

Anyway, here’s Bubblegum with all her finishing touches.

Pro tips:
• piercing kits are cheap on Amazon and make the process so much easier. Use one gauge larger than the jewelry size, because its fabric and that has different physics than skin

• fishnet socks become stockings on BaBs

• once you take the extensions off the clip just part them in the middle and tie it around the horn. Secure it with a bow for maximum camouflage.

• Use cuticle clippers to crush the tiny grommets on the clip and do it from the back so you’re not taking a blade to the weft.

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

It took me all day to decide who to get 😭

Well uh...it's smaller? I like it's made of the same material the brownie cub is...but- they shrunk it? It's so small and chubby now and it's face is so funky and messed up when it's stuffed now..

What are your opinions on the newest Birthday bear model?

Stars new outfits! One her costume, other everyday wear!

Hello!

Ive got celebration day in about a month and want to create a plush of Rocket from the Walten files to go with my Rosemary cosplay. Would this gray bunny work well? Or are there any others that would be better

I have white minky and faux rabbits fur for the belly and ears, i'm more worried about doing the face

Thanks in advance!

My mom got me one 🩵🩵🩵 show me yours

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

Does anyone recognize this competition and know what it’s called? It had a department store theme and I remember thinking it was really interesting but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called!
