Discussion Please explain to me…

…why all the Frosted Animal cookie Minibeans, the clown collar, and the giraffe ALL sold out within 10 days of release but the camel is still available over 4 months later? Because while I thought both the camel and the giraffe were equally cute and I wanted both of them (I was able to get the camel), clearly I’m in the minority or something. Was it because more people collectors minibeans now than full-sized plushes? Was it because the giraffe was pink? Are giraffes just that much more popular than camels?

Inquiry Scent Purchasing Etiquette In Store Question

20 Upvotes

The nearest BAB store to me is almost 2 hours away, but it looks like I'll be in the same area in a few weeks and I wanted to stop by while I'm over there. I really like the black cherry scent and would like to come home with multiple discs if possible but when I try to Google info about purchasing them in store I'm getting a lot of mixed info - you need to buy a plush, you don't need to buy a plush, you can buy multiple discs, you can only buy a single disc, everything varies depending on the store, etc.

Can anyone give me the most recent info about buying discs in store?

Last time I went they were extremely busy/store was very loud and I was uncomfortable asking questions so I didn't bother getting a scent. I'm assuming it'll be the same atmosphere this time around. If I'm going after the Halloween drop hits I will probably be coming home with a plush, so I don't mind cramming multiple discs into one then removing them at home.

i just saw the sanrio halloween leaks for this year and i am YEARNING for them. i was literally just thinking about how badly i wanted lloromannic babs TODAY thinking about how unrealistic that sounded but i was proven wrong!!!

however im sad bc ive been planning on going to the mall of america sanrio babw for a few weeks now on the first sun-mon of august, but idk if i want to build a sanrio bab there and then have to buy another one like less than a month later :( ik theres no confirmed release dates obviously but does anyone know maybe a timeframe they could be releasing?? if its possible for me to wait like another week to go instead so i can build a cherry bab there it would be much better for me and my wallet <3!<

Inquiry Where should I post adventure pics?

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

I'm trying to get back into walking (I used to go about 3-4 miles a day), but I lost motivation. I'm hoping that taking my mini crab around with me and taking pictures of him in different spots around town will be something fun I can look forward to instead of dreading going out. I've thought of Instagram, but I hate all the ai and meta crap. Should I make yet another Tumblr sideblog for it? Does anyone even want to see that kind of thing? (besides me lol i like seeing those posts) I don't want to clutter up the feed here with random mini crab pics. I know not everybody wants to see him a million times

(the attached pics are of Sebastian on our little trip today. i keep him in the open pocket so he can see some while I'm walking lol)

My New BAB My New Babies! Meet Oracle!

Got Oracle when the Sky Puppy restocked yesterday here in Australia. I love her so much. She's the mama of my still unnamed little one and if I ever get a Mothman they'll be spouses!

And I managed to get a Howl-o-ween werewolf at pretty much retail! I've wanted one, and the moons-a-glow, for so long so I'm super excited. He's softer than I like so doesn't stand up when proped against things, so he gets to lay down for his photoshoot. I'll probably get him restuffed when I'm able. Still trying to think up a good name for him.

found this beautiful unicorn thrifting and he was covered in these strange yellow, oily and stinky mystery stains 🤢. I’m a bit of a laundry wizard so luckily they came out and now he’s sparkly new! Any name suggestions? I want something masculine lol

My New BAB Blueberry Cow Baby!

Post image
50 Upvotes

I was so bummed that I missed out on the strawberry highland cow so I had to have this cutie! Got him stuffed today, the string to sew him up broke so they had to do it by hand. He’s amazing, I love him! I named him Pancake.

The fur is different than I was expecting and he’s shedding a tiny bit, what kind of brush do you use to brush them out? He’s still super soft and cuddly.

Can’t wait for the next fun cow design to come out, this boy is a perfect addition to my cake pop cow ☺️

It’s official: I have 25 full-sized BABs and two minis! About half of these were second-hand finds, and I may have a second-hand pink tie-dye frog on the way right now… 😅 It’s a bit of an obsession, but it makes my heart happy! 💕 (Also not all of these live on my bed, I have the plushie hammocks in the corner where several of them stay full-time)

Inquiry Website malfunction?

So I wanted to get the hot chocolate Chococat on the sale day but it was pretty late in the day but it said that it was in stock for delivery but when I tried to checkout, the "some items are not available" kept popping up and then even later, it was removed from the site. Saw it show up again today so tried again and still not available despite it showing in stock for delivery. The screenshots are from today. I'm just wondering why this might be happening, like is it just BAB's website being really glitchy or? Especially since the regular Chococat does show up as out of stock.

I never even knew this gal existed until I saw her at the thrift store. When I brought her in to get restuffed at BAB, the workers were so excited and interested.

I really love the bipedal BAB’s as my favourite thing to do is dress them up. So she was a perfect addition to my growing collection 🩷🍭🍬

Found over the last few weeks, just haven't posted lately.

Of these, I took home the teal beach bunny - she was actually on my ISO!! I want to mod her a bit - give her a different fabric design for her ears and paw pads.

I already have the princess bear, modded. And I considered getting the cow, but on my low budget, I couldn't justify the price - also not a huge fan of cows, so I left it for someone else.

Others were cute, but not ones I really wanted. Cute finds, though!

Percival needs a good brush out but I noticed that he looks the best to me a bit skrunkly and loved. He IS supposed to be a zombie after all! He will still get brushed though, whether he wants it or not, he's held up well for 10 years and I want him to hold up for many more.
