Build-A-Bear has finally revealed what it’s new Animal crossing: new horizons-theme series will look like two stuffed animal versions of fan favorite Isabelle and the infamous borrowed shark (loan raccoon?) Tom Nook, adorned in island outfits that match the game.
Because it’s 2021, of course you can not only buy a hot item like a Animal transition Build-A-Bear doll – you must sign up for a PlayStation 5 style rope, which will randomly assign you a spot on the line to buy the bears (are they still bears if they are a dog and ‘ is a raccoon? How does Build-A-Bear’s taxonomy system work?) Today, April 6, at 11:00 EST / 8:00 PST.
At the moment, Build-A-Bear has only featured the two characters, although it is possible that the company will also have other outfits or merchandise as part of the collection. (Given the wealth of adorable Animal transition insects in the game, there are many to choose from.)
Build-A-Bear should also be praised because the new stuffed animals actually look like cute versions of their peers in the game, instead of the company’s vaguely gruesome Avengers: Infinity War bears from 2018.
If you are planning a Animal transition Build-A-Bear, you should probably stop reading this post and get started. If it’s something like the Animal transition / Sanrio collaboration, things will sell out quickly.
