My New BAB Chinchilla secured! 🐭

Post image
81 Upvotes

Out of all the leaks of the new ā€˜26 winter releases I personally was looking forward to this guy! So here’s my honest review!
First up is the fur texture! SUPER soft and not that cheap soft! Definitely in the supple minky side. I personally love this fur texture! But, it’s not solid light grey like the stock picture. It’s dark at the root then fades to light grey Vs the solid light great stock photo. The face was definitely noticeable different in person. I personally ended up doing an easy thread sculpt and face trim. I didnt hate the face, but I think it did the trick I was looking for! And trimming around the nose makes it stand out better.
The nubby hand and feet are my FAVORITE! Super cute!
And last, the ears are the reason I bought this girl! They are on the floppy side. But, I added clip on bows to the insides and they seem to stay up with more support.
…and one more. Unfortunately another con. For $36 they are on the smaller side, and the arms are short. They resemble the new mellow moodies. Bigger head, short arms, short legs and shorter body.
I personally still love this release! The tail is cute and long too! But, if you’re looking for website photo accurate…BAB missed the mark on that one! Who are you most excited for this Holiday Season? šŸŽ„

My New BAB Not in love with it

Post image
78 Upvotes

I thought I would be in love with the chinchilla but I don't really like it in person. The hands are really tiny and it's eyes don't quite do it for me. On the plus side it's fur is super soft. Maybe it'll grow on me but for right now I'm slightly disappointed. Also it's on the smaller size for anyone wondering. Reference photo next to my lobster reddington (don't be fooled he's not a frog)

Meet Dustbath!

So I had to get bloodwork done and since the lab place is near the mall I decided to do it before my usual Thursday outing dad dropped me off on his way to do his things and I got through the whole thing on my own (even if insurance didn’t cover all the tests)

So I went and got him I had a backup in case he wasn’t available (my workshop didn’t get the mellow Moodies drop at all)

But he was available and now I have him!

Anyways review time:
SOFT SOFT SOFT he is so soft like those fancy throw blankets like he’s so soft im not putting clothes on him

His hands are tiny and adorable his ears are giant and his tail is long I love him he was worth every penny

As for the sweatsuit:
It’s not bad I just wish it was literally any other colour like it’s nice quality material and well assembled I just hate beige
It was only 15$ though so I’ll probably by a second one to try and dye purple and if that works well I’ve got many colours of dye

Modified / Custom BAB Cat in the Hat bear edit

14 Upvotes

I love my new Cat in the Hat build a bear, but I couldn’t get past the felt they used for his accessories. I also wanted them to be removable :[

So I did it myself! It’s still kind of a work in progress as the white stripes on the hat aren’t sewn on yet, but I thought it was finished enough to share!

I removed his bow and added my own ribbon one. Then I removed his hat and covered up the hole (there is a hole under the hat!) with similar black fur fabric. Then I made a new hat from scratch! And I used some elastic to make it removable :]

I love how he turned out personally! He’s a little scuffed in some places, but he’s for me and I love him as he is :3

Just For Fun! How do you choose?

Post image
22 Upvotes

I’m replacing my 22nd birthday bear (since unfortunately the last one I didn’t really bond with) I got a couple options. I found a cream teddy bear (that I keep seeing everywhere on vinted while scrolling and then I found this really gorgeous orange bear (Autumn themed). How do you guys choose when you’re gonna make a furry friend? When it comes to the birthday bears (my tradition) I sometimes base it off what comes out during the season, it could also be based off the theme of my birthday. My birthday is in October and the last couple of friends are Halloween themed!

20th - Zombie Frog
21st - Chococat
22nd -?

Here’s a picture of my Chococat, Fruity Pebbles and Saedy who’s chilling!

Collection My little hoard beginnings

Post image
26 Upvotes

I decided I was going to start collecting BABs as I always wanted to as a kiddo but we did not have the financial freedom to even get one. The husky in the picture is my only childhood buildabear and I got him second hand at a thrift store. Ironically most of my collection comes from second hand apps or thrift stores still! I’ve managed to get a lot of dream stuffies. As always the journey is never done… I must add to my hoard.

I think my favorite is my Kuromi and fall leaf bear, Maple. Although Mew was one I’ve wanted for years. His big a head and little scungy tail.

The espeon and flareon are my partners. Our dog decided he wanted to join for pictures too…

What are yalls favorites? :>

My dream is to own every single Bat BaB has released, probably not happening anytime soon but one day it will. Main one I can't seem to find anywhere is the Fangtastic Bat. I would probably call the collection "The Bat Cave". I already have names picked out for all of them too.

Their names are:

Giant: Tucker

2025: Swoops

2026: Swoosh

Mini: Winglette

I also have the Boorific Bat, she is called Pipistella

My New BAB Well-loved Sweethearts Darling Bunny Pictures?

Post image
28 Upvotes

Just got a second-hand dreamie!! Got her washed and restuffed and named (Rosie Cotton) and I adore her.

She's going to be one of my regularly cuddled teddies because she's just so precious, so I'm curious to see pictures of people's well-loved Sweethearts Bunnies. Ones you've been cuddling since you got them.

I'm curious to see how her fur holds up to regular cuddles and also would love to see your pics of your sweethearts darling bunnies. I'll probably get the bear at a later date to name Samwise Gamgee because I feel like it's a requirement now.

(Hm why did someone immediately downvotes this D: )

Hi all šŸ‘‹ I just received my new friend šŸ˜ she’s in perfect condition and the sparkles in the fur are stunning!

The butt tags have been removed which I was aware of before buying, but I did realise she doesn’t have the build a bear stamp on the feet or arms. I’m just curious, is this normal for some bears? I have well over 20 build a bears in my collection and haven’t come across this so far. Thanks in advance! 😁
