WOLVERINE Claws Into Build-A-Bear Workshop

Of all the cute, cuddly, squishy Marvel Comics characters you could think of for Build-A-Bear to take on, I never thought a surly, hairy mutant with knives jutting from his fists would be the primo choice! I mean...Squirrel Girl, Thor, Captain Marvel, Rocket Raccoon.....GROOT!!! Nope...we got Wolverine, ready to slice his way into your hearts. Never let it be said Build-A-Bear doesn't keep me on my toes!!

On Wednesday, September 11, hailing from the northern wilderness of Canada, the iconic Marvel character, Wolverine, is now at Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Sweet Suite 2015: Build-A-Bear Takes on Star Wars, Minions & More

When is the last time you went to Build-A-Bear Workshop at your nearest mall? For me, it was when I was dating this awesome girl who's birthday was coming up. We made a monkey and put him in a pinstripe suit with matching top hat and cane..and called him Benny. If you get the reference, I love you. Since then, BAB has been adding many licensed characters to its adorbale plush lineup. A quick run through their website and I found Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon, all 4 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a small herd of My Little Ponies and even Frosty the Snowman from the old holiday cartoon. At Sweet Suite, we got a glimpse of their latest additions...

STAR WARS!! Chewbacca and Darth Vader kick off Build-A-Bear's customizable plush offerings from a galaxy far, far away (cuz the mall is never close). Both include a sound chip for effects from each character and Vader comes with his Lightsaber that lights up. Light up plush confuses me...and I don't know why. These new squeezables will be available this week, so be on the lookout.
