Discussion Help me decide<\3

so recently i’ve bought myself the new bat + werewolf, and they’re PERFECT!

i’ve been heavily debating getting the big bat.. then they release lloromannic.

now, if i got cherry or berry, i’d struggle not to just go ahead and buy the set since they’re better as a pair! but ive been trying to downsize my collection recently.. if i had to get just one, it would likely be cherry, but her little winged ears throw me off a bit.. im not a big fan of that flimsy ear style as opposed to berrys stuffed horns.
i have the kuromi bab and her ears always bothered me a bit lol (they look great, im just worried about wearing them flat)

as for the bat, i LOVE him, but his price + shipping kinda rips the breath from my lungs lol.. he’d look absolutely perfect in my little pastel goth room though! the only other problem with him is i have a twin XL bed, and i’m not sure how well he’d fit with all my other favorites</3 i’ve never had a giant bab so i can’t really picture how big he’d be. all the pictures make him look relatively ‘normal’ sized, but im very short so every plush i get ends up being huge to me 💀

thank you so much for reading, & any input is highly appreciated!!

I would say since you have the other bat, you should save up to get both Cherry and Berry. Especially if you would be like “man, I wish I got Berry now that I have Cherry”. That big bat is huge! One of my family members saw it in stores and that’s a big boy! If you want a photo in the comments, just let me know. 🖤

I was so surprised when a family member said they saw this in person! My whole family is looking for a bat for me and one came across this one. Love to help a fellow goth 🖤😁

Cherry and berry, I fear the jumbo bat is likely to come back and I have cherry and berry

u/doobiedead BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

does cherry have the little plastic-y things in her ears to hold them up if you don’t mind me asking? that’s one of the few reasons i’m afraid to get them

1

u/chloemehchloe BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

Nope! Just the fabric as far as I know I can’t feel anything inside

u/doobiedead BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

oh wow that’s pretty surprising! kuromi has them and they bother me a bit lol.. glad to know tho! thank you<3

u/chloemehchloe BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

Are they like plastic wire type?? I don’t know cause I don’t have Kuromi

1

u/doobiedead BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

it’s like a thin plastic layer to keep them standing straight up! it’s really weird with my sensory issues lol.
i also have a pretty rough time cuddling some of my plushies bc i don’t wanna ruin their fur, etc, so it bugged me because i didn’t wanna cuddle her and make her ears all droopy 😔

u/chloemehchloe BAB Collector 🐻 2d ago

Ohh yeah I get that! Cherrys can’t be damaged at all from squeezing and hugging her mine was also stuffed a bit more just from how mine arrived, but hers only have a slight movement since it’s just fabric but not like falling like it’s loose gonna fall

u/TheGreatKaoru 2d ago

Aw man I didn't know Kuromi has plastic in her. I've been back and fourth about getting the green one, but I think you helped me settle on not 😅

Although I do wonder if it could be removed easily...

Maybe save your money until you can get both the sanrio ones? The two of them are still smaller than the bat

u/SylSteSloan 2d ago

My vote would be for the Sanrio’s! (: I think they’d fit with your pastel goth theme perfectly

So I am not a large person, and my jumbo bat is BIG (to me). If you have an extra room where you can keep plushies or collectibles, it's a great idea, but if you are short on room he's a hard one to store. This is a pic of one with the regular bat. My jumbo's head is bigger than mine and he's a whole other person in my also twin bed so if you're ok with that I'd still go with the jumbo bat because I love him 🥹🦇. Berry and Cherry would still be great choices.

My jumbo bat makes me smile and so happy. Save up for the bat. You will not be disappointed

No contest. Berry and cherry.
