Description
Build-A-Bear is releasing a new addition to their line of Pokémon plushies, as the original Growlithe Pokémon has been spotted on the Build-A-Bear app/website. The news was first revealed on the "buildabear" subreddit, and the release is said to be this month, though there has been no official confirmation yet. Link to Reddit post Growlithe is said to be the latest addition to the Pokemon Build-A-Bear collection, following the arrival of Teddiursa in November of last year. While fans of the popular franchise await official confirmation, they can look forward to the possible release of this OG good boy. Stay tuned for updates on the release of the new Pokémon Build-A-Bear plush.
In November 2022, Build-A-Bear answered the prayers of Pokémon fans everywhere by introducing an all-new character from the beloved franchise. Teddiursa, the bear Pokémon from Pokémon Gold and Silver, has arrived in the Build-A-Bear collection and is the first real Pokémon bear that fans can create in the store.
News of Teddiursa's arrival was first reported by the Italian site Farantube, and quickly spread to Pokémon communities around the world. The Pokemon Teddy Bear comes with several customization options and will set you back $32-$40 in store or online.
If you choose to buy Teddiursa online, you will receive a special package that includes a hoodie and nightwear. The best part? The plush can make five different sounds if you squeeze it. It's like having your own personal Pokémon to hug!
It's surprising that Build-A-Bear hasn't thought of adding a Pokémon Bear to its collection sooner, given the name of the store. However, fans are delighted that Teddiursa is finally available to build and take home.
In addition to the arrival of Teddiursa, the Jumbo Snorlax is also coming back to online stores soon. While some fans are disappointed that there is no Jumbo Ursaring yet, they are still excited to finally be able to build a bear from the Pokémon series at Build-A-Bear.
