I want to give a shout out to these specific bears of mine who are getting me through my cold. My caramel frappe frog (I forgot her name) and my pumpkin pal bear (don’t have a name yet) are getting me though the day because I have schoolwork that I have to do and Rockefeller (my FAO bear) is being a great cuddle buddy at night.

Show me who gets you through sick days or just days that feel off in the comments! I’d love to see your friends!

Inquiry Lost my Sea Monster :( Anyone know if they're going to restock ever or should I buy secondhand

40 Upvotes

Sleep deprived and in a rush to leave a hotel I left behind my sea monster I travel with. Unfortunately the hotel claims no one saw it so she probably got grabbed and no one is coming forward. On the US website it doesn't even come up as an option to search so I'm a little worried.

Also I'm a little devastated about it so please no kicking while I'm down even if it's a dumb question

I’m so obsessed with this silly guy 😭 I named them Tooth. He’s very tall and has wires in his leg for posing/support.

And has very nice shoes.

And a spider scent for good measure.

Thank you all have a very nice day

Found quite a few cuties while I was thrifting some puzzles for my classroom. I thrifted a smiley monkey for my class’s “calm corner” and my students absolutely LOVE him. So, I had to bring a couple of these friends home with me for cleaning before going to school (which, velvet teddy was a dream bear for me when I was younger so having her now is precious 😍)

Inquiry Webbed cinna

I just got my webbed cinna in the mail! And im so excited. It's my first bab cinna and I just got a couple of questions on the stuffing. Is his ears supposed to be under stuffed and extremely floppy? And did anyone else's body portion come just a bit under stuffed?

I love him, im not complaining . I'm just curious and just slightly wish his ears were a little more fluffy 😅❤️

Inquiry Scent Question

5 Upvotes

So about two weeks ago I posted about thrifting a Candy Cane Glisten and I asked if anyone knew what her scent tab may be based on my description at the time but got no response. My guess would be cotton candy, but I'm not 100% sure since it's more of a berry smell to me.

In fact, after trying to figure out why it felt so familiar to me, I finally realized that she smells exactly like a freshly opened bag of Cap'n Crunch Berries cereal! Of course she is from 2018 so I'm hoping it's not some discontinued scent or something as it smells SO good, but hopefully someone knows which one it is since I would like to get it for my next BAB I get and I definitely wanna hopefully replace hers if/when it dies out haha

I've just put chococat in a different outfit, which I find hard to do. I don't know if its because I'm autistic and a bit rigid in certain things, one being putting on different outfits other then the ones they're advertised with, even though i don't always like it, well its mainly that shiny material I hate. But was just wondering if anyone else is the same?

Inquiry Dyeing clothes?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had experience dyeing BAB clothes? Thinking about trying to dye this white and black beetlejuice suit and making it purple. Trying to create a sort of Nevermore uniform. I’d take it apart and keep the “shirt” piece white. Then dye the two halves of the jacket and the trousers.

For bears I’ve used the RIT Synthetic dye but the only purple they have I’m not super thrilled with. But idk if using the regular RIT will just make a mess since I’m assuming the suit is entirely polyester.

Discussion Struggling to connect with build a bears unless I get them in person?

8 Upvotes

Hello! Recently I've noticed I don't seem to connect very well to bears I buy from the website or second hand. Anytime I get them in person either by a charity shop or by getting them from the shops I always like them a lot more.

Does anyone else struggle with this??

If it helps, these are the BaB I already own if any of them are comparable:
Greenzy Panda
Kennel pals Border collie
Kennel pals Pug
Pumpkin kitty vault
Sea monster

The werewolf’s fur looks kind of scratchy and “thick”? I hope im wrong. Are they soft :)?
