Title: Is Build a Bear retiring MLP line?
Post by: Sochy on January 29, 2016, 06:00:23 PM
Today I read about it on a post on tumblr, sadly there wasnt so much info and I cant found the post right now (I follow a lot of people and my dash is complety full)

I checked on the website and there are only 5 different plushes left, Shining Armour, Applejack, Twilight, Zecora and Vinyl Scratch.

Somebody know something about it?

Last I heard they were doing a rerelease of Muffins at some point. Dunno about any new plushies though.

At the Facebook page, they said they are going to re-realease Luna, Celestia, Cadance , Muffin and Rainbow Dash, but no info on new ponies

However they have Carebears now, so I wonder if they are going to replace the ponies

I wouldn't be surprised if they capped off the MLP line soon, they've already made 18 unique characters, with outfits for the majority of them. BAB seems to like continually innovating their lineup... Having a bunch of ponies sitting around year-in year-out is probably not what their business model is usually like. It certainly isn't over here - they sell out of ponies and usually go months with none on shelf before the new release, maybe bringing back one or two older models with the newbies. And since they have done all the mains and are starting to go into Fan Fave territory, there's certainly a more niche appeal and I would assume lesser sales. That's usually a signal to the marketers for change.

As much as I love MLP, I actually hope this is the case! It would be great if they did the original 10 bears, and as many of the Cousins as possible. What I wouldn't give for a matching True Heart and Noble Heart...

When checked the online store randomly yesterday and saw Shining Armor was back in stock, I grabbed one to go with my Cadence.  I do hope to get a Luna, too, if they do re-release her.  Otherwise I'm ok with them being done as there aren't any other characters I'd really care to own anyways.

Except maybe Sunset Shimmer...

I kinda hope that they are! I'm still missing five ponies! I don't want them to make any more unless I catch up LOL!

Wow, that's amazing that they're going to re-release that many!

I kind of prefer the Care Bears made by Just Play.... Build-a-Bear's just don't quite seem plump enough....

Well, I suppose they made them that way so they could use any BAB clothes for boys and girls respectly, for example I tried to make my Sapphire  bear from the Gem  of a friend set (that I got from a flea shop)  wear Elsa's clothes but the clothes were to tight and didn't had shape since this bear is bigger than Elsa bear and  I guess is a boy bear and the Elsa clothes looked bad on him

I was there last week and the manager had no info. She said the company hasn't said anything about new characters and she gets asked a lot since the ponies are popular. Would be a shame but I wouldn't mind either. These take up a lot of space to display!

Lyra and Big Mac would be AWESOME in BAB form! I'd snap those up in a heart beat. I only recently got Shining Armor so I do hope they re release Cadence so I can get her to go with him! When I was at my local BAB yesterday ALL they had was APPLE JACK!!!! D:
