'Star Wars' & Build-A-Bear Teamed Up To Make Something Every Lil' Jedi Needs
The cuteness is strong with this one.
Fans of Star Wars, stuffed animals and assembly-line-driven-mass-production rejoice! There's a new reason to brave the screaming kids and disheveled parents of your local Build-A-Bear workshop, and it has nothing to do with trying to burn it down.
What, you ask, could be worth a voyage into the depths of your local shopping mall? The answer is adorable, customizable 'Star Wars' plushies.
Build-A-Bear is in the business of adorable, so it makes sense that last Thursday the company announced the latest addition to its line of custom creatures: The Ewok Wickett from 'Star Wars VI: Return of The Jedi'.
Wickett is a guaranteed best cuddle buddy for any 'Star Wars' fan who still geeking over the new Rogue One trailer, looking for a companion to bring to the new Star Wars theme parks, or who's friends refuse to be dragged along to a 12th screening of 'The Force Awakens.'
Behold his fuzzy glory.....
The 16' plushie Wickett rings in at $28 bucks, not including the Wickett the Ewok 6-in-1 Sound Chip which plays actual audio from the film. There's no adorable lil' spear to put in his mitts yet, but we can dream can't we?
Build-A-Bear also offers a smaller and equally adorable mini-Wickett for the younglings.
But Wickett isn't the only 'Star Wars' character you can stuff 'til your heart's content. Looking for a more loveable way to pull someone's arms out of their sockets? This Chewbacca plushie, complete with Bowcaster, is right up your alley.
This Han Solo teddy is pretty freakin' cute, for a scruffy-lookin' nerfherder anyway.
And what's a Han Solo Bear without a Leia to match?
Burning to desire to dress your bear like Rey from Force Awakens? Rest assured, those bases are covered.
Do they make human-sized versions of this R2-D2 hoodie? Because I would totally ROCK this.
Just because this teddy bear Darth Vader is unnecessary doesn't mean you shouldn't have it.
Gotta say, teddy bear Kylo Ren is a lot less intimidating than actual Kylo Ren. Bet he's just as broody though.
Cute they may be, but there is something a little strange about giving teddy bears fuzzy lil' guns.....
AW what the heck, Boba Fett Bear's disintegrations would be the cuddliest you've ever seen.
Oh yeah, and the build-a-bear clothes you bought for your teddy? They'll also fit on your dog. My God, what a time to be alive.
