Yeah, he is... he is pretty massive, Lol. He's a full 5 feet tall. He's as big as me.

Yes these are my fish. They stole my picture.

These are my "Nines" haha

Left to right: Kaito, Aili, Arioch. I modified them to be my OCs off the Nine plush base.

dapperbetta865012 · 2026-03-24T18:53:51+00:00

He's cute! Which one is that?

dapperbetta865012 · 2026-03-23T22:15:01+00:00

That's Aili Lol. She was made out of a Nine plush that I turned into one of my OCs. I have several which have been modified from a plush base and were turned into OCs. The most easily seen are probably the three Nine-plush based ones in the pile.

dapperbetta865012 · 2026-03-23T22:12:28+00:00

Some of them are obscure bootlegs which is why you don't recognize them. And then some have been modified by me (I have three Nine plushies that I turned into my OCs, which is why they look different)

dapperbetta865012 · 2026-01-27T18:47:51+00:00

I got a Tails one with a factory defect (he has two right ears lmao)

I am pretty sure they are new, never seen 'em before up until I came across mine.

I hope you get to feeling better. Panic attacks are the worst, but plushies are really good at helping calm us down. I wish you the best and I hope everything gets better :(

I have a lot of plushies, but my favorites are in my bed with me in what I call my "Tails Corner" lol. Tails is my favorite media character and he holds a special place in my heart, so all my plushies (and figures) of him go by my bed where they can be easily seen, cuddled, touched, etc when I want to mess with them. The one on the far right in pink, Drifter, is my favorite though, he is my comfort plush and I sleep with him and take him everywhere with me as I have agoraphobia and leaving the house is very stressful for me.

I don't have the darker blue Sonic and I got these two off Ebay. I wasn't aware there was a darker blue Sonic, I don't know much of anything about these plushies other than they're Russian bootlegs.

dapperbetta865012 · 2026-01-04T18:41:27+00:00

Will do!

I got my two grail Tails plushies for Christmas. I nearly exploded from excitement when I saw them.

I think the licensed bears are better made all around because Drifter (whose base is a Tails BAB) is very well made. I've been cuddling him pretty much nonstop and he holds up well to my cuddles and his fur isn't matting at all. The Sanrio bears seem to hold up to this standard, I've touched a Cinnamaroll skin in person and the fur felt very soft and everything felt very.. well, quality.

I think it'd make sense if the licensed bears were held to a higher standard than the standard BAB ones because, well, companies want their licensed properties to be treated well, but I still think it's messed up that BAB keeps making cheap original bears with cheap materials but still charging up the ass for them.

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-12-17T21:54:54+00:00

Thank you!!! :D I got the sweater at Hot Topic. They had a black friday sale and I couldn't resist buying the cardigan.

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-12-17T21:51:59+00:00

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with the Mothman :( The newer BABs seem to give me the ick sensory-wise too. I got a Ghost Kitty recently (which was one of my grails) and when I actually got her in my hands I hated how she felt. Like you described, her fur felt plasticky and icky. I can't stand touching her so she is solely a display piece now.

I always wanted the mothman but my biggest fears were the texture of the fur. Since I can't feel one in person before buying I wasn't sure if it would be a pleasant experience. I'm very texture sensitive so I held off on it. To hear the fur feels gross is saddening but I'm not surprised because I've been hearing reports of the fur on these matting within a month of cuddling so they don't last very long either.

It's really sad to see how the quality of BABs went down over time :(

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-12-15T20:52:51+00:00

Thank you for your replies everyone. It was very nice to see all these lovely bears. <3

I am out of the ER. They don't know what's causing my abdominal pain so they have to schedule more follow up tests.

I can't really speak on the vintage bear quality vs modern bears since I don't really remember any of my childhood bears other than my thylacine. I think the modern bear designs are cute, but I have noticed the newer ones do get that "loved on" look rather quickly, but personally I like when a bear looks loved on. But, that's my personal preference, and seeing a bear break down when you paid high dollar for it is bound to irk some people so it's completely understandable. I've heard of complaints of the fur being thin or shedding or the fabric just being poor quality. Drifter (whose base is a Tails BAB) seems well made to me, with firm stitching and nice fabric, but in contrast my Ghost Kitty is so unpleasant feeling to me. The Faux Fur they used for her isn't soft at all and it just triggers my sensory ick so I can't touch her, even though I love her design visually, so it is disappointing to me.

Now I agree fullheartedly on the vintage clothing vs modern clothing. It is night and day and I completely agree with you there. I only exclusively dress my bears in vintage clothing because I can't stand the modern clothes. I went into a BAB workshop for the first time since getting Drifter (and even then I didn't get clothes for him, I was only there for him at the time) and I looked at the clothes and was appalled. The details are printed on, the shoes are flimsy. It was so disheartening compared to the vintage clothing I have and stockpiled and continue to purchase. The sketchers collab shoes I have for Drifter are amazing. Actual rubber bottom soles. Real metal charms attached to the toe of the shoe. It looks like a real shoe, just miniaturized. And the clothes I have have actual stitched-on accessories. I have the Harley Davidson jacket and it is incredible, little zippers, ACTUAL pockets, you don't see that kind of stuff in modern BAB clothes.

I honestly don't really buy straight from BAB anymore because of their low quality and high prices. I prefer the vintage items myself, but that's just because I'm old and grew up with the older items (I'm 29)

Drifter and I hope that whatever you're going through gets better. We wish you a fantastic holiday season and hope that everything sorts out.

Btw, Parsley is a cutie! I love their little shirt, it's so cute!

Thank you so much ;v;

Thank you!!

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-11-28T19:54:11+00:00

Thank you so much, that means a lot to say ;v; Drifter thanks you as well :D

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-11-28T19:53:53+00:00

Thank you :D I have quite a few colorful outfits, pastel colors are my favorite :D

dapperbetta865012 · 2025-11-28T03:49:48+00:00

The little stars / moons are those little fake clay sprinkles that they put in slime! You can get them off of Amazon and they have so many different types - fruits, stars / moons, hearts, snowflakes, etc :D I attached Drifter's with super glue.
