Derek Jeter Furry Friend on Buildabear.com!

Thanks to chantellefurshion for spotting a new addition to buildabear.com -- the Derek Jeter bear! The 16-inch bear costs $25 and has Jeter's signature on a baseball on one foot and his Yankees jersey on the other foot.

 

We're currently unsure what the FFI is for the bear in BABV as no one has seen it added as a test animal, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out. You can check out the bear and buy it on Build-a-Bear.Com -- Derek Jeter Bear.

Last week, the Yorkie Furry Friend was added to BABV, along with a few unannounced Furry Friends in the Open Certificate selection!

For all you baseball lovers, a new furry friend has been found!!

For all you baseball lovers, look at what has been found!  A new Furry Friend called Mr. Baseball and his FFI is called a Mr. Baseball sign!  It's a baseball scoreboard!!  It is Pawsome!  I'm still not sure how you can get him.   This person said they got him with an open certificate!   

New Furry Friends -- Dinosaur, Camel, World Champion Bear!

Hey guys and girls! I logged into my account yesterday and entered an open certificate and noticed that there were some new Furry Friends available! I was surprised to see 3 of them all at once!

 

I started by choosing the World Champion Bear, shown in the left picture. He's a green bear, as you can see in my backpack and he gives you a crazy green-haired hat and soccer wallpaper -- probably to celebearate the upcoming World Cup Football (Soccer) Tournament!

I then chose the Camel! He's a cute little guy that comes with a cool camouflage canteen and his wallpaper is, of course, Camels!

 

Finally, I chose the new Dinosaur. I'm not sure what kind it is, maybe a Velociraptor? Anyways, he gives you a great Dino Hat and a new dinosaur wallpaper! Funny that all of the Furry Friend Items are all green!

 

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Downtown Disney Bear Coming to Build-a-Bear Workshop!

Thanks to a great thread by ilikepanda in our Build-a-Bearville Forum, we now know that there's a new special-edition Downtown Disney Bear coming to Build-a-Bear Workshop!

 

From what we can tell from the picture, this bear will only be available at the Build-a-Bear Workshop at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California. Also, from the picture, we can see that it says "Custom Made at Downtown Disney" on the left foot, along with Mickey Ears on the right foot. Though it may mean "stuffed" at Downtown Disney, it's a possibility that the designs on the feet can be customized!

 

Any Stuff Fur Stuff Club members in the Anaheim area can call (877) 789-2327 to make a reservation to get an exclusive Sneak Peek of the bear on March 5th from 5-7 p.m., and the first 250 guests get a Free Downtown Disney Tiny Tee for your Downtown Disney Furry Friend!

New Enchanted Furry Friends Coming to BABW, Bearville!

Thanks to some of our Bearville Insider members in the United Kingdom, we have some information about new Furry Friends coming to Build-a-Bear Workshops and Build-a-Bearville. We aren't sure at this time about the US release of this new line of Furry Friends, but according to the mailing, UK members will be able to purchase them starting April 5th. The rumor is currently that these will be available in the US in June, but we cannot confirm this information.

ScarlettPink10 was the first member to let us know about the new line, and FluffyCuddle44 was able to give us these great pictures above of the Enchanted Pony and the Enchanted Dragon! Also according to to the mailing the FFI's (Furry Friend Items) for both of these are rides! The Enchanted Pony comes with a pony that you can ride in Bearville and the Enchanted Dragon comes with a pair of dragon wings that you can wear!
