The long awaited Animal Crossing: New Horizons The Build-a-Bear collection went on sale today, with two designs based on the Nintendo Switch game. As we predicted yesterday, the first characters available are Isabelle and Tom Nook. Unfortunately, the company’s online store seemed to sell both designs fairly quickly, but the collection will be available in stores in the near future. Given the popularity of Animal Crossing, it will be interesting to see whether or not more characters in the game will be added in the coming months. No doubt there are many characters who would not mind seeing the fans.

Given how quickly the amiibo Animal Crossing x Sanrio cards sold out last month, it’s not too surprising that these went so quickly. Fortunately, it looks like there will be many more available in the coming months. Those interested in finding out when new stock is available can sign up here for updates.
