Animal Crossing x build a bear!

[chocopug]

I left the waiting room when I saw on Twitter it was only Tom and Isabelle. I wouldn't pay that much for those characters. Now if it'd been Bob, that would've been a definite purchase, and I might've also been tempted by Timmy and Tommy, Etoile, Pekoe, Ankha, Lucky, Stitches, Judy, or one of the hamsters. I do hope that deleted Tweet from Build A Bear means more characters will be coming, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just more NPCs.

I hope those who wanted a Tom or Isabelle were lucky

Molly or Lolly would be so cute

I agree, they would be my top choice along Celeste

I would never pay for Tom and Isabelle tho, they lost a great opportunity if they're not releasing any more

I seriously doubt they wouldn’t release anymore. If they have the license for animal crossing, they will! Especially since this launch went so well. Build a bear love money too haha

Having Tom Nook and Isabelle is to be expected. But they’re not even nice-looking imo. I think Isabelle is a cute character but i wouldn’t want this version.

I think that Isabelle and Tom Nook look great!! (Aside from the shoes being a part of Isabelle as I mentioned before)

...Just it wasn't the best move to keep the release date AND characters a secret for an entire month while labeling it as a "collection" when there are only two characters. Not to mention, some of us have been waiting for nearly a year since May 2020 when the official Build-a-Bear Twitter first hinted about the collab.

Isabelle and Tom Nook are the faces of ACNH, (and I am happy about Isabelle) but after all of the hype build up, I'm surprised that they didn't include at least one villager. I heard before that BABW was struggling due to decrease in popularity of malls and the world situation, so if they ended up doing villagers, it would be a very good idea for them financially due to the high demand.

I just saw this on Twitter! So for everyone disappointed by the lack of characters, don’t lose hope yet!

Edit: Someone further down in the comments also mentioned that this is how their original Tweet was worded and quickly deleted.

Guess I'm not the only one who had the idea to go to Etsy after my disappointment. The sellers I've contacted say their commissions are closed.

I preemptively did that when they announced the collaboration. I knew they wouldn't do one I wanted so ordered on etsy.
Glad I ordered early as I've still got a month left to wait! XD

My expectations were not that high but seriously two characters only? That doesn't really seem like a "collection" to me. The actual plushes themselves look just okay but nothing special. Since it was only 2 characters it would have been nice to have clothing options for them. The little voice options are really cute though I will admit that.

oh man the disappointment hit HARD on this one... i was so excited for this
for a company whose whole brand is making plushies... this is not good looking. they look like some aliexpress plushes... i won't talk about the only two characters because there will apparently be more but for now i hate this.

 

[Xara]

god i’m so glad that i didn’t stay up all night just to try and grab one cause,,, yikes. jokes aside, this was definitely pretty disappointing - i’m not too sure what i was even expecting but only having tom nook and isabelle?? two characters who have already had tons of plushies made of them?? i get that maybe they wanted to test the waters or something before releasing a whole collection but they obviously didn’t take their fans’ wants into consideration at all. :/

preachh it!! hahaha

It seems Fauna and Coco are on the rumored list... would love to see what they look like.

Hey everyone, I was just looking at the My Nintendo site and they have a sweepstakes to win the Tom Nook and Isabelle bears! You can buy up to 3 chances for 10 platinum points each.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else yet, but BaB tweeted that a new character will be coming in the summer. So looks like only one extra coming in the near future.

Gonna be pretty gradual then. I cant remember how collections like Pokemon and How to Train Your Dragon went, but I know they all started with one or two characters, and slowly added onto the roster over time. So they'll probably do a small handful, but over a very slow rate
People will be disappointed no matter what but here's to hoping the upcoming character's a cute one LOL

Definitely! I'm wondering whether it'll be KK. I can't see them doing villagers anymore to be honest. Though maybe it'll be Stitches if I'm lucky!

My Tom Nook got dispatched today.

That was my first guess, too. And yeah, I agree, if they're going to be adding more characters that slowly, there's not going to be any villagers.

Unless it's Mable or Sable, I don't want any NPC build a bears. But I'd fork over whatever they want for a cute villager.
