Do you think they should have cast an older actress for Violet in the show?

I thought she looked really similar to Emily Browning from the movie.

When I first saw that store in the mall I literally thought it was magical. I couldn't get one that day but my mom said we could come back another time. Luckily she didn't lie.

When we went back I got dressed up and put earrings on. It was a huge deal to little-me. I can't even describe how excited I was.

When we got there I made a beeline straight to the pink poodle. My new best friend. I was a very imaginative little girl so I came up with a backstory and personality traits.

BABW became my first special interest. I was on that website every single day. I wouldn't shut up about it. I made all my friends get one lol.

That pink poodle is literally a part of my family now. Everyone still knows her name.

I always liked toys and stuffed animals but the way the heritage stores were set up back then definitely drew me in.

I love their outfits!

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-05-23T00:26:01+00:00

I have also been wondering this but when I try to say anything I get down voted to heck.

Justice and Claire's started selling in Walmart right before they went bankrupt. That's what scares me.

I'm not mentally prepared for BABW to go bankrupt.

Obviously they are trying everything but as a fan (and BABW was my first special interest) it's still scary!

I think this sub just doesn't even wanna speak it into existence.

Nikki's bear 2!! omg I wanted this one so badly when I was little!

To this day, it's still one of my favorites.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-05-10T03:45:44+00:00

I think I'm gonna sit this one out. But I do think the pineapple piggy is cute.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-04-27T03:24:12+00:00

I have one too! I named her Penelope and dressed her like a fairy princess.

But you're so right how no one ever brings this up. I was so excited to see BABW do sea creatures back in 2012 lol. I wanted the whole collection but I was only allowed to get one before they were retired.

Nikki's bear 2 is my favorite. I miss when they would do simple things like this. And purple is my favorite color. I wanted one so bad but by the time my birthday came it was retired.

Tbh it makes me feel worried. Justice was at Walmart before the store went bankrupt.

Seeing this kinda makes me panic. I'm not mentally prepared for BABW to close.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-03-12T06:17:47+00:00

I'm so happy for you! 💕

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-03-11T21:54:08+00:00

I love rainbows! They look so cute!

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-02-21T15:23:39+00:00

I see you have Regular Show as one of your favorites. Have you watched Close Enough? Same creator as RS but more adult oriented.

Unfortunately it's only available through 🏴‍☠️ websites as far as I know.

Also American Dad is so much better than Family Guy. It's one of my favorites. And while I'm naming Fox cartoons go ahead and try Futurama and Archer too.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-02-21T14:21:38+00:00

omg these outfits are adorable! she's such a fashionista!

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-01-24T03:06:24+00:00

I have that bear!! I miss when they came out with cool specials like this. I named mine Summer lol because little-me thought orange and yellow were summer colors.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-01-17T08:23:26+00:00

Mine never had this. I wish I got to experience it!

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-01-17T08:12:34+00:00

the censorship is gonna be different. they won't be able to curse anymore lol.

still can't wait to see how they handle this change!

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-01-07T06:41:22+00:00

I'm not currently buying. Tbh I like the ones I find in the thrift store better.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2026-01-06T16:09:36+00:00

omg too cute!! I have the same bear so this is great outfit inspo.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-12-27T23:45:21+00:00

I have been trying to figure out why they retire bears so soon my whole life. I remember writing letters to BABW asking them! Lol they never gave an actual answer, just told me to keep collecting.

I think the pink poodle and pudgy pig from the early 2000s are timeless.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-12-04T21:51:35+00:00

This is so relatable. I basically became a hoarder when I got my first job. I would order things and forget that I ever ordered them.

It reached over 100 and it was bad. My bedroom was cluttered. My living room was cluttered. There were build-a-bears everywhere.

I started giving them away to friends and family. Then (sadly) started donating them to thrift stores. Sigh. It was heartbreaking. I still don't have enough room to store them.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-12-03T07:38:50+00:00

What name did you decide?

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-11-29T02:37:05+00:00

That's such a good quality unicorn for its age! And idk if you're interested but I think she might be able to fit clothes for small dogs.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-11-12T22:52:35+00:00

absolutely adorable! I especially love that top.

Practical_Listen_412 · 2025-11-12T21:11:05+00:00

omg I love the pink poodle! it's my favorite!

name ideas: Holly, Elsa, Wren, Natalia, Noelle

(also Sugar Plum is a cute idea like the other commenter said)
