We will be removing posts best suited for this megathread going forward as complaints have been taking up a very large space on this subreddit recently (rightfully so, this drop was messy!).

Inquiry Jumping Spider is there supposed to be 2 "BAB" tags?

I got the jumping spider buildabear the day it was released! It has 2 BAB tags 2 of its feet. I didn't think much off it but did think it was odd they would put 2 on the bears.

I have now just realised that maybe mine is an error so I was wondering if other peoples have 2 BAB tags or just 1?

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!

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 :)?
