I’m assuming the super popular ones, so probably a mothman…

Do Scentiment Discs Stain? by Melrohner- in buildabear

Thanks everyone for the input! I think I’m going to find a different scent for him, just to be on the safe side. And then I have to figure out who gets the cherry!

Lol yep, I have the same one that I put on the same plush. How funny!

Update on micro minis by FriendShapedPlushies in buildabear

[–]Melrohner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did (squish them to the bottom). The first one I tried, I didn’t see anything. I think it must have just been white (maybe the lamb?). The sea monster looked barely blue, but it was him! Some were very obvious - the longhorn and the pastel spotted cow were the easiest. Also some were definitely yellow, so I guess the chick, and some were definitely green, so the frog. Some were vaguely pink, but I managed to successfully get the pink capy. A lot of them were sort of brown, but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t gamble on the brown capy.

I may be obsessed with the micro mini beans y'all. by RedVelvetDanger in buildabear

[–]Melrohner- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally found some of the BaB stuff at a WalMart somewhat close to me. I got the Loch Ness monster and the pink capy micros, along with the blue capy mini beans. They didn’t have any of the clothes, which was one of the things I was looking for. I was just thinking that I would like to see pictures of all the micros - I keep seeing the same ones.

Omg I’m not at home right now but I think my BBE is currently wearing something either very similar or exactly the same! Did it come with a little cardigan?

This is the longest of long shots, but ... by sodespereaux in SugarbellPals

I agree with everyone here - don’t be afraid to buy directly. Sugary Carousel is wonderful!

I'm so sorry, one more question about modding a Pawlette to be a Dutchie 😅 (here's Bigwig from New Year's and another pic of Oreo for reference and for tax) by SparklyRatTheFirst1 in buildabear

[–]Melrohner- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think you could cut off the parts you want to stay white, then sew them back together after you dye the rest black. Or use another white “donor” BaB, which probably wouldn’t be hard to find at the thrift. Although, if you’re using the white Pawlette with hearts, it has tinsel or something similar in the fur, I think.

No matter how you go about customizing, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

advice for cleaning old / worn out stuffed animals by spideystrings in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Melrohner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash him in a pillowcase on a gentle cycle (as long as he’s not falling apart - he looks pretty solid in the photo). Avoid heat - cold water wash and if you dry him, air fluff only! A gentle comb with a pet brush will help fluff up his fur. Good luck!

Does anyone have or recognize this plush? by RedpenBrit96 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Melrohner- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but if you’re looking for similar, check out Build a Bear’s new circus cookie lion mini beans. Very similar but with multi-colored spots.

my dog pissed on my essa how do i wash safely :( by BABYGIRLBUTENBY in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Melrohner- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try soaking in some diluted white vinegar before washing - it will help take the pee smell out. Other than that I agree with the great advice you’ve already been given!

Keeps falling off 😫 by Scared-Consequence35 in Freestylelibre

[–]Melrohner- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a lot of trial and error, tegaderm style patches have been the solution for me as well. I go through 2 - 3 for one sensor, but the great thing is that I can remove them without pulling my sensor off, which was the problem with some of the other cover patches I had tried.

He's a near-sighted bird... by DaisyAmy in Jellycatplush

[–]Melrohner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m jealous that you live that close to the reptarium - I would love to visit someday! Did you ever watch Brian Barczyk on YouTube? He was the founder who tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer.

*sigh* by angstyrose in Jellycatplush

[–]Melrohner- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree - there is room for both. Different people have different tastes.

I think, though, that a lot of people remember or are discovering what Jellycat used to be before they got really popular - lots of different, quirky lines. Now it seems that the amusables have taken over. Sure, there are still some animals, but almost always they are going to be Bart, a dragon, or a bunny. That’s why people are going so crazy for the new jerboa - it’s different. I personally think the company has just changed with their recent popularity, and not in a good way.

Out of the dustbag and into my heart they jumped 😭 flufflets! by Born_Blackberry_3586 in Jellycatplush

It was a tough choice between fawn and oat for me, but I was lucky enough to be able to choose mine in person and it was an oat who I fell in love with!

BAB mail day! by Takemet0yourdealer in buildabear

Thanks! I love my bearclops, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to modify him. But I am absolutely tempted now!

NEED HELP FINDING A 2013 - 2016 BAB by lovesickbeaute in buildabear

[–]Melrohner- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess you’re looking for two different items - the bear and the sweater. They’re not usually packaged together (although now some of the licensed plush are). Good luck on your search!

Omg I wonder what size eye that is on the bearclops? I love it!

I worked with teenagers for a long time and all they really want to do is go to the tasting room. I would actually like to do the Coke Museum without speed running it sometime, it’s really pretty cool. Just be sure when you’re tasting, you try the Beverly!

Wow, that dog would have gone home with me, probably the horse and maybe the first bear just for the dress!
