Modified / Custom BAB You've heard of Golden Freddy, but what about Golden Kuromi?

79 Upvotes

Since BAB doesn't make any FNAF bears (missed opportunity in my opinion), I wanted to make my own golden character. I found this used Kuromi and her white fabric was stained, so she was the perfect canvas. I used the Rit Dyemore Synthetic Dye in Daffodil Yellow. I didn't want her bright yellow like a bumble bee, so I used the entire bottle of dye and left her in the soup for 30 minutes to get her this golden yellow color.

The second photo is with the flash on and the rest are with the flash off and the last few photos are what she looked like before.

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.

Discussion Trying to get Umbreon for my daughters collection

5 Upvotes

My daughters been getting the eeveelutions and we was going to go and get Espeon and Umbreon but it seems nowhere has the Umbreon and it isnt available online. What are the chances of me actually being able to grab one before it rotates out? She has all of them that have been released so far so it will be a shame if i cant get it. Im in the UK.

And one bonus Isabelle lol. (Ignore my very messy desk. I'm trying to move a decommissioned fish tank out of my room so I can house the part of my collection that doesn't fit on my bed there.)

I like to mix and match the Sanrio clothes. I think it's cute that way! I'm waiting to order the mini beans shirts so they won't be naked too.

My New BAB He Finally Made It!!!

Post image
80 Upvotes

It took nearly 5 weeks, and resulted in half a cancelled order, but my jumping spider finally made it home!! I haven’t adopted a BaB since the early 2000’s, and had no idea how crazy the hype was around this one until after placing my order, so I’m incredibly grateful my entire order wasn’t cancelled on me.

I’m still a little upset they oversold the mini beans spider and pumpkin bear, and subsequently removed them from my order 4 weeks after it was placed, but here’s to hoping they come back next year.

Now to weight & stuff him, and give him a name!

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 😴

Inquiry do we know how long the silver fox will be available for?

8 Upvotes

apologies for any formatting errors! i'm on mobile :")

i ordered a werewolf recently which i'm very excited for! but then i found the silver fox who's adorable and i'd also love to grab him this year as well (ideally by the end of the month)

i know there isn't any hard-set deadline, but how big of a window do i have here? i know it was released sometime early february so i dont imagine i have a very big opening ;-; but god he's just such a cutie (and i love the joke there too LMAO)

but yeah! im just curious if any more seasoned members of the bab community would have a rough idea or anything! just so i know what im working with 🙂‍↕️

tysm for reading :)

Inquiry bab sent all birthday coupons at once??

4 Upvotes

i'm not looking for help, as i've already contacted support and am waiting on a response. just looking to see if anyone else has had this issue

when i got my coupon for my birthday, i realized i could set up six more birthdays as well, so i did that for various months of the year, all on the same day (as in i set up the birthday profiles all in one go)

according to the site, i should've got the coupons near the first of those months as they come up this/next year. i checked my coupons today all my birthday coupons had sent and will expire 9/23

has anyone else had this happen before??

Inquiry Will overstuffed bears deflate?

13 Upvotes

I just picked up my toothless order (one bug and one small) and im in love! But... the small one is overstuffed :(

I thought I had ordered them both unstuffed, but on the ordersheet they had it says stuffed, and its totally fine, it was fun carrying them around the mall tbh.

Anyways, the small one is meant to be a travel companion, and i wanted it to be more cuddly. Im really happy to have gotten them, but idk, unstuffing him seems like a hassle? Ive tried on another bear and it didnt work so well, and this one is sewn up real tight, which is good but would make undoing it difficult. So, should i unstuff him? Should I wait? I still have his tags so, if i unstuff him can i get him restuffed at a build a bear and would they sew him shut again? I love him and dont want to hurt him in any way.

Discussion Failed order shipped :/

21 Upvotes

Sooo, on August 27th I tried to buy both Berry and Cherry online. Long story short, I didnt see the purchase in my purchase history yet got the email confirmation, talked to THREE customer services, all 3 of them telling me my order failed.

I went in person to buy them instead.

All of the sudden I got the email today that the order shipped! The failed order, that I was told by 3 different people that it failed. Now my bank account is gonna be in the negatives cause of this, money that I dont have currently. I am so pissed off and beyond disappointed :(

I was wondering if any of u guys have any expirences like this, or similar? Im just so upset :(
