Build-A-Bear Workshop gets into Sonic?
Yes! In late 2016 / 2017, Build a Bear got a Sonic license & made a pair of modern plushes. BAB specializes in plushes that you stuff yourself in the store, and can then accessorize. They started with teddybears (naturally) but branched out into lots of other plush types/brands. They are good at certain things, like making sturdy plushes that stand up to play, adding accessories & tend to be cute. However, as you can also see here...they're not great at proportion. Sonic is fat & dumpy with a big case of "Big body" and mitten hands & tiny feet. But then, his face is well done in a cute way so it
Notice the ears, espeically for Sonic: they're actually 3D triangles, not the usual flat flap sewn on so they'll stay standing. It's a good touch. Makes him come across more like 'teddy Sonic' which is actually pretty logical for these guys. Tails is more of an accessory, as this plush is a lot smaller & simpler. He has mitten hands with no fingers, & tiny tails. The choice to do "front smile" for him is interesting & his expression looks good enough. The card has exclusive art on the front from the Japanese "Sonic Channel" artists. The back has a facts-sheet with facts like "Tails' name is a pun" and other things you've likely already heard. The symbol on their palm is the BAB logo. Sonic's branding is under his foot in the same way as the Tails has it.
Sonic with his plush ring & art card are an online exclusive at 35 dollars & Tails is 15. (Which, for the size and accessories you get, it's not bad)
The little t-shirt up there? It's 7.00 & you can use it to dress your bears (or bear like creations) in Sonic clothing too so they can also be a fan. Build a Bear goes the extra mile!
