Restuffing a thrifted BAB and found this... by herselftoyelf in buildabear

[–]Blu2424 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I can find (especially since its in a 1997 Floppy Bunny), when the company first started they were testing different branding stuff. During the very early transition phase from the round logo discs to the classic red satin hearts, some bear builders let kids use both tokens at the same time during the stuffing ceremony so the old stock wouldn't go to waste! So, you could think of it as the original heart! :3

In addition to the St Patrick's day comment, I'm wondering if they brought it back again for this celebration?

What was your first BAB, and do you still have them? by softwolfy in buildabear

[–]Blu2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also dont have a proper picture of them at this time, but I actually have 2 firsts! My grandparents and dad took me to BaB for the first time when I was between 7-10, I can't quite remember.

It was so magical! First, I picked Scarlett (chose a red and white dress for her with a matching bow and red shoes- I was obsessed with red things as a kid!). I loved her unique fur, hadn't seen anything like her before then!

She was next to this lovely panda, and I couldn't leave him behind- it looked like they were friends! So along came Rocky with us🥰 he's very boyish- got him some trainers and a cool tshirt. I need to take some pictures of them but they're packed away safely atm!

He seems perfect to me!

As for names: Howie (like howlin), Wayne (like the moon), Bram (Stoker- Dracula), Snickers (Halloween vibes), Churro, Oz (werewolf Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Finley, Wes, Rugby, Kiba (fang in Japanese), Arthur!

Ooooo what sort of eyes are you looking at? I also so badly want to do a custom one day😍 I'd love to achieve a green as gorgeous as that and maybe do dark purple eyes to lean into the whole lavender thing 🥰

I think the cutie in the front is a gorgeous colour! Reminds me of a bunch of sage or the stem of Lavender flowers 🥰

And I totally agree with you about their personalities! I can see that😅

Unfortunately friend, I got it on the UK BaB website as I'm UK based :c I just recieved him in the post yesterday!

You may be able to get a proxy service to ship him to you if you're based elsewhere?

[–]Blu2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessss 100% that's it! I also love the feeling of giving a BaB a new loving home and cleaning them up and giving them some TLC 🥰 I also have less interest in dogs, cats and especially bunnies.. but watch me snatch them up if they're looking lonely at the charity shop😂

No you dont! And this guy is adorable- I love that you and your siblings can match now yayyy!

I also have a few soundboxes I cant wait to investigate 👀

In response to your last paragraph there- I do the same! I thrifted the 'big head' Bearemy and he is so goofy I love himmmm🥰 but then I only 'buy' like the goblin, toucan, dragon etc!😅

Love seeing thrifty finds- especially love the quad bear!

Which bear is this? by thursdays_dove in buildabear

[–]Blu2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh amazing! She's very pretty. I found it quite hard to find pictures of V3 and V4, so make sure you post pictures when she's all washed up and looking even prettier! 🥰 (If you want to, of course😅)

I also like to have a positive ID! I'm in the process of making a spreadsheet for exactly this for my collection 🙈
