Both lovable furry friends come with the Animal Crossing: New Horizons theme music or a mix of their personal phrases and fun emotes from the game on a sound chip, so you can hear a playful sound with every hug!

In celebration of this highly requested collection, Build-A-Bear invited YouTube, TV and film stars the Merrell Twins to host the one-of-a-kind Animal Crossing: New Horizons Collection First Stuffing Premiere at their local Workshop. Fans can view their unique experience making the first ever Tom Nook & Isabelle plush on Build-A-Bear Workshop’s official Facebook and YouTube accounts.
