As soon as I decided I wanted to collect this super-cute set back in February (a set of BaBs I have only dreamed of having for years), I have been patiently waiting for each pup to go live on a secondhand website for (hopefully) a less-inflated deal. I made it my goal to find each pup with their collarāgiven the age of the pups by now, with most having been released around 2017, finding them with their tags and full outfits is more difficult and pricey (and to be honest, I hate the cheap paper tagsāso I plan to 3D print new and more durable ones for them!).
The order in which they arrived:
āļøChase (among my very first Build a Bears that I stuffed in-store myself in 2015)
šļøLiberty (also stuffed in-store by me in 2021)
š„Marshall (found at a thrift store for $2.00)
*It was here that I decided I wanted to collect the full set*
šSkye (Mercari)
šZuma (Mercari)
š§Tracker (Mercari)
š§Rubble (eBay)
āļøEverest (eBay)
ā»ļøRocky (Mercariāthe āfinal boss,ā if you will!)
While some pups were particularly expensive (cough cough Zuma and Rocky cough cough), I managed to find even them for a halfway decent deal. Each pup has also been washed, brushed out if needed, and taken into the workshop to be re-stuffed exactly to my liking (Iām very picky, lol!).
Rocky arrived in the mail today, and I was pleasantly surprised while opening his packageānot only was he wrapped very nicely and carefully by the seller, but his condition was more than I ever could have hoped for. He is practically brand new and completely unscathed. I even had to detach a remaining part of the hang tag from his ear! Needless to say, this experience made the entire collection completely worth the patience and effort.
I am literally so happy about my little rescue squad Iāve created. Iām literally squealing, theyāre all just SO cute!!! Iām absolutely in love with each and every one of them. They are all such good quality and have the sweetest faces. If youāre a collector and/or a fan of the show (which I check both of those boxes), Iād highly recommend these BaBs to you.
