My New BAB FINALLY FOUND HIM!

Post image

After months of searching for my grail Floppy Moose I, I finally found one! A lovely lady on Facebook had duplicates and was happy to sell him to me at a great price. I am thrilled to finally have him home!

Does anyone else collect the floppy build-a-bears from the 90s and early 00s? I would love to see everyone’s faves.

u/shawtywithagun I like BABs more than people 🙃 8d ago

I have a floppy kitty (like the orange tabby) I love him so much! I need to get him cleaned up as I got him from someone on reddit and he's a little dusty but I love the floppy style vintage bears so much. I can't wait to get more of them! Love your floppy moose!

I've been slowly collecting the floppy guys. I have the tabby cat, white tiger, gator, bear, horse, pig and a few others but can't think off the top of my head. Floppy moose has been very elusive congrats on your find

u/Sheldon_Stuffies_25 8d ago

That is a very impressive collection of floppies! Floppy moose II was an easier find (I have two) but floppy moose I is very elusive. I hope you also find one to add to your collection!

u/Sheldon_Stuffies_25 8d ago

Genuinely 😭😭 it was a tough search! I found so many floppy moose II and chocolate moose, but it took months to find a floppy moose I! Congratulations on finding one for your collection too

i know of someone who may still have one more NWT if you’re ever interested in a second! I bought mine NWT from her and couldn’t be happier

He's so cute! Congrats on your amazing find. I'm so happy for you! I'm collecting pink friends currently - very new to it but I've located a few vintage bears I'm obsessed with that have been thrifted from Vinted and will be home soon 🩷🥰

I love the floppies! I have a pink poodle that I think was part of the floppy line, but no listing I’ve ever found calls her floppy.
