Walmart is now offering Build-A-Bear Workshop plush and accessories with mini plush as well for prices between $9.99 to $24.99. I recently purchased a couple of the mini bears as gifts for a couple of friends of mine, as well as one of the mini bears for myself. The bears are perfect for your 16 inch to 24 inch dolls, such as Tonner, Gene Marshall and American Girl dolls. I put it beside my Anne Fitzpatrick, and while a little large, it could pose as an oversized bear for her. This cute pink one was one of my favorites in the mini series and it has a tag that you can write on. She is Coral Tie-Dye Bear .
Here are photos of the Build-A-Bear Workshop aisle - Endcap with the minibears and their clothing accessories, around the side were the larger bears and their clothing and accessories.
Larger bears were about 24.99 and clothing prices varied.
The mini animals were an assorted mix of bears, pigs, hippos, unicorns, cows, frogs, elephants, ducks, etc. They also had small t-shirts to wear. You could also buy two different kinds of mini assortment boxes for 24.99 which would be cheaper. This is a good alternative for the starter person who might not want to go to the Build-A-Bear store and spend a small fortune and be a little conservative starting out. You can always find used Build A Bear plush at the Goodwill stores in good condition barely played with that these clothing items might fit too, and the bears would be a fraction of the cost- $3-6 at Goodwill thrift. I have picked up some really great ones there. Enjoy!
