Gurg. I just love it when my supervisors assume I'm still fully competent to perform tasks I was trained on four or five years ago and haven't performed since, or maybe was never trained on at all, so confidently that it never occurs to them to, say, ASK ME if I am in fact competent to perform these tasks until I have already been forced to and screwed up.

jeez....where do you work? sounds like wal-mart or something @__@


Hi tsukiko. At the moment my favourite is my tmnt build a bear Raphael. I like that one because since it doesn't have much fur, it doesn't have to be brushed or blow dried that often. This means I can hug Raphael as much as I want without worrying about having to clean him too soon after which is nice plus the two swords I got for him when I did really make him look awesome.

Otherwise my favourite is Jake. Jake is a grey wolf build a bear and the first Build a bear I got. He's currently wearing a star wars outfit. That outfit with the sunglasses and a blue light saber really makes him look as awesome as a teddy bear can look I think.

What are your favourite build a bears?

hahaha cute! well, idk which is my favorite, but currently i love my eevee. he's one of the newest i've gotten stuffed. but toothless is prolly my very favorite, since he was the first i personally stuffed.

i had gotten during the black friday sale back in nov. the limited edition my little pony minty, the mlp luna, and elliot (pete's dragon) who are all unstuffed. there's only one b-a-b store in town and it's clear across town like 20 miles. my sister hates going up there, so until i'm able to find someone willing to go to that side of town, they remain unstuffed xD

i do have all the how to train your dragons they've released so far and mlp zecora that i've personally done. then i have the pre-stuffed miles tails small plush, and various ones from thrift stores: mlp celestia, 2 tabby cats (those were apparently a b-a-b anniversary "bear" back in 1998), a wwf leopard, wwf cheetah, wwf snow leopard, an otter, a white cat...and prolly a few more i don't remember xD i sleep with my otter, as he has a "heartbeat". wish that lasted longer than 3 seconds LOL. it's a very soothing sound. OH i have 2 elsa with dresses and an anna with dress that i intend to sell xD i'm not a fan of frozen, but when they came through the thrift store for $3 each, i couldn't resist buying to put them on ebay. one of the elsa and the anna have music chips in their paws, the other elsa i bought solely for her dress since the first elsa's dress was kinda beat up. so i switched them and plan on putting up the 2nd elsa with the beat up dress for a lot less than the 2 musical ones.


You have such awesome bears. I wish I could but I don't have all the how to train your dragon bears. But I do have the two headed one. I got that because I think a two headed bear is so unique and a dragon no less.

Besides that the other dragon I have is the star brights dragon which is looking a little grubby because I didn't know how sensitive the material was. The silver material used is satin if I remember right. In any way with my first dragon I blow dried him just to clean him. When I brushed him after he got this massive hole in his chest so he had to be replaced and thank goodness they still had those bears in stock at the time. I now know to only blow that particular bear on cold and to not brush him after words. But I don't regret getting him. The youtube video I saw on the starbrights was just too adorable for me to not get one.

Candy is a pink sugar cookie bear. She's got a cute Pink and Black Outfit and last year I got wings to suit her outfit. The wings I think were released when those mix and match bear things were released (Don't know what they're called). So of all my bears, Candy is the angel.

I've also got a Peace and Love Bear. The reason why I got it was because when I showed my mom that there was finally a store close to us she looked at the peace and love bear and commented on that. Since I had the money I got it when mom wasn't looking. Think I called her Butterfly. She has boots and basically wears the same clothes as one of the honey girls used to.

Something I didn't mention about about Raphael is that I created him after the christmas rush when the store had only been opened for about a month. Their stuffing machine didn't take the pressure very well and was broken at the time. So Raphael was hand stuffed and is my only hand stuffed build a bear.

None of my build a bears have sound effects, the reason why is because when I created a tiger not at build a bear but I think maybe at the store build a bear might have called before it was build a bear ... I don't know ... In any I got that tiger a snoring/ purring sound. It was cool but after a few years that sound broke and seemed to take a mind of it's own. As a kid I must admit I was quite terrified of that broken robot noise. And since there was no BAB or anything like that anywhere at the time, I had to endure it until I could give it away. But yeah, because of that...I don't get sound for my bears even though there's a build a bear nearby now. Thinking of that tiger though... It's amazing how something that was made to comfort you can also be quite scary.

awww what a sweet tale, except for the broken sound byte. creepy....

and that's super awesome about raph. that really makes him special and unique.

the 2-headed green dragon is barf and belch. they are pretty neat xD i bought toothless as my first b-a-b for my birthday. i wasn't going to add anything to him, but i started sniffing all their scents and i really liked the apple disc they had. sooooo toothless smells like apples xD then when stormfly was released, i managed to get her and zecora as part of the 2 for $35 deal they sometimes have. they didn't have any other one i really wanted, so i got the zecora. i like her, but i wasn't planning on getting any of the mlp's *lol...and now i have 4 xD * the minions were just released, so i put a banana disc in stormfly. decided to do all the dragons with food scents in them. then when i got my eevee this past year, i made barf and belch with a candy disc and hookfang with a pumpkin disc. i have no idea what i'm going to put in meatlug if she's ever released....i DO have an unused lavender disc, but i was thinking of putting that in elliot. cotton candy smells a lot like the candy one, but it might be the only viable one unless they release some special scent. the pumpkin was leftover from fall, lavender i've only ever seen online, banana was a limited run for the minion release, i have no idea where the apple came from since i've only ever seen it that one time i built toothless. they do have a honey disc and a pizza disc, but ugh...those are bad. the honey i thought was going to be nice but it turned out to smell like cat pee. >___< and pizza...no amount of trying will ever get a scent like pizza to smell right.


OHHHH! i totally forgot i had found one of the reindeers from last year (2015) with their collar and cloak from work (work at a thrift store), so i got that as part of our month long 50% off christmas sale back in december xD i don't remember which one it was, but it was a brown one LOL. i was not impressed with this year's collection of deer....though the white, pink, and blue ones were cute. the other 8 deer, which was really only one deer: 8 different costumes for it, was meh....


You have toothless? That's awesome! And Stormfly too? That's really awesome. Sadly my parents don't really support my interest in build a bear so I can't get to many. When I do get one though, I generally try to hide it in a bag or something and bring it in. Once inside and in my bedroom, I don't think my parents can really complain. I only get a build a bear when I see it on a youtube video or something and when I see something so cool, I get that childhood wonder for a few seconds and I have to have it, I get it. It's bears like that which I think are worth it, even though my parents don't support it at all. But it's kind of why I don't have toothless or stormfly. Barf and belch was just so unique...I couldn't resist.

Only 2 of my build a bears have scents...I think. Raphael has mint. Candy is vanilla I think. I heard someone say that vanilla was their favorite because it smelled like a cupcake or even better a cake. So as a result, I got the vanilla scent for her.

I'm starting to think that their scents should probably be replaced. I don't think I'll replace Raphael's scent simply because I think his stuffing is so messed up, it'll probably take ages for anyone to find the old scent...not quite sure I want to be that mean to the BAB staff.

And you got a reindeer as well? Because I was so busy buying presents for my family in December I couldn't exactly afford a reindeer...I think I did ask for one though on my christmas list but didn't get it.

I was thinking of getting a mlp Build a bear. The reason why I didn't is because I watched a youtube video once where this guy spent about fifteen explaining how to groom and tidy up the main you first get it. Fifteen minutes? That means whenever I clean up my bears...I have to spend 15 minutes on the hair again? Nope. I don't think anybody has time for that. I guess an mlp build a bear is better when you don't worry about the mane. They do look very cute and I understand why people get them but I'm just not sure that most people who get them understand how much work they are.

LOL! the scents are suppose to last for 3 years...i think that's what the gal at my store said. idk if they can really "replace" them because how would they sew them shut again? o.O

i'm an adult, but i live with my sister. she doesn't really "get" any of my hobbies/passions. she thinks they are all a waste of time, money, and space. but it's my hard-earned money and i do pay the bills first. but whatever, right? when i got stormfly and zecora, my mom went with me and she kinda snuffed up her nose at it. but again, my money. xD the excuse i always give is "it's better i spend my money on toys/stuffed animals that doesn't hurt anyone...versus buying booze or drugs, which has the means of harming another person. so just let me have my harmless vices of collecting toys."

only thing i noticed about the mlp was...zecora's mane IS a bit of a pain since it stands up. celestia is the only other pony i have that's stuffed and her mane is a bit crazy, but she did come from the goodwill outlet. so she wasn't very pretty to begin with when i got her, i still need to sew up one of her wings that looks like it was chewed up. (got her, a pair of winter boots, and a signature monster high skelita doll that was only missing her bracelet, belt, and necklace for $2) i haven't tried to fix her mane yet though, but i did wash it. i'm a bit weird like that. thrift store/garage sale dolls always have a bath before i bring them into my collection. doll dolls usually get the boiling water treatment, but i think i will wash celestia's mane again and hot iron it to kill the frizz. should work xD

as for the reindeer one, i think it was comet. not positive, but the cloak thing it has on it is like the ones on blitzen, comet, and dancer in the photo. and i got the deer with the cloak and his name tag for prolly $1.20 maybe 1.60, but not more than that.

edit: found him! it is comet xD looks exactly like the photo.


That's awesome. I'm an adult too but autistic. I really don't get why my parents disapprove of my build a bears or my other interests like lego dimensions or pokemon. They're not hurting anybody. If something makes someone happy then according to me that something is not a waste. And in the case of lego dimensions, it's not just me who's happy but the game does a good job at entertaining young guests. Before getting a BAB I actually double check how much I have. If I realise I actually need what's in there, my heart sort of drops and I don't get the bear. But if I realise I do have enough then I get it. So I'm careful with my money but I guess my parents don't realize that. I guess my parents and I have very different views on the matter.

I'm so happy you managed to get a BAB reindeer. I'm going to try and get one this year...that is unless something catches my eye and I can't resist getting it. Hopefully the ones this year will look all right. I'd really like a BAB which stands up on all fours and I'd prefer a reindeer because they don't have long hair and they look cute.

Good luck with celestia. After that wing is fixed, I reckon it's going to look awesome and will definately add some character to the BAB.

And you sew? That's awesome. I don't know how to use a sewing machine but I know something called blanket stitch quite well.

yes, i do sew. haven't for a few years with a machine, but i do hand sew for mending projects. i'm so excited though! i found a wwf lion with his ear tag at work yesterday! i have to wait for payday to get it, but he's safely on hold. i believe he was released back in 2003

all the wwf ones have the necklace/medallion with the panda logo. i try to grab those b-a-b's when i see them. hehehhe.

it's good you're careful with your money. i'm so horrible with mine xD but i'm trying to be better.

idk anything about lego dimensions. is that an online game or a console game?


OMG! That wwf bear looks awesome.

Yes, lego dimensions is a console game. It's a toy to life game to be more exact. It is expensive which is why I don't have other PS4 games but I think it's good fun and I enjoy collecting what I can of the playable characters. I recently got Kitt from Knight Rider like last week. I am so happy about that! . When I was a kid one my older cousins suggested I check out the movie so I did and I'm glad I did. People might disagree with me but when it comes to cars with a personality or cars with a mind of their own, some people might think herbie is the best. I reckon Kitt is better. Kitt is car with heaps of technology and is heaps more advanced than Herbie. Kitt is a car any Spy would want I think. Plus it's very intelligent and can think on it's own. In most movies like for example batman I think he presses a button or something to get his car to drive to him or something like that. Kitt has no need for that. If he likes his driver, he'll track them and if the car picks up that his driver is in danger, Kitt will charge into the fray with his guns and laser ready. I wish I could get the real thing but I'll happily settle for the lego dimensions version.

hehhehe kitt's awesome ^__^ the game sounds really fun. i don't have any of the newer consoles, so i'd prolly never be able to play that, but it does sound good.


Thanks. Yeah it's fun.

I wish you the best of luck for that WWF Lion BAB. Looks really awesome.
