Animal Crossing’s Build-A-Bear Collection Launches Tomorrow

Animal Crossing fans will want to pay close attention to Build-A-Bear tomorrow. The recently announced Animal Crossing: New Horizons Build-A-Bear Collection will be available for purchase from Tuesday April 6. At the moment, we still have no idea which characters will be in the collection. It’s probably safe to say that we’ll see some well-known villagers like Tom Nook and Isabelle. Given the popularity of Animal Crossing, we predict that plush will be a very popular commodity and may become difficult to purchase.

If you’re interested in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons collection, be sure to sign up for email updates on Build-A-Bear. We’ll also update this story with details on the entire New Horizons Build-A-Bear collection once it goes live.

Build-A-Bear is known for their make-your-own plush toys that you can fill with stuffing and dress up in the store. If you order online you still go through the building process, but you won’t be able to stuff Tom Nook and kiss his heart until it’s sewn up. While many Build-A-Bear plush toys require you to purchase an outfit separately, themed collections like these usually have outfits by default and tend to be a bit more expensive. It will be interesting to see if Build-A-Bear comes up with any additional New Horizons-themed outfits or accessories.

Let’s just hope the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Build-A-Bear rollout goes smoother than the Sanrio Amiibo maps. Exclusive to Target, the Sanrio cards sold out almost instantly the other week. It didn’t help that Target’s website had issues updating inventory, causing even more frustration. In more positive news from Animal Crossing, Cherry Blossom Season is back in New Horizons through April 10, and a bundle of new seasonal items are up for grabs in the game.
