Build-a-Bear Workshop shows interest in Animal Crossing plush dolls

A match made in heaven

Build-a-Bear Workshop has had major success with their Pokemon brand of plush dolls, which continues on to this day. That Pokemon collab has had fans clamoring for other Nintendo-related tie-ins, and it seems Build-a-Bear is at least considering one more partnership.

A random Animal Crossing fan took to Twitter to mention that they'd love to see Build-a-Bear work on an Animal Crossing plush series, and that tweet absolutely blew up. 27k retweets and 146k likes later, Build-a-Bear actually responded by saying, "Wow! We're taking notes..." There's no doubt the insane wave of attention that one random tweet got has shown the Build-a-Bear gang that an Animal Crossing line could certainly find some success.

Obviously there's nothing official in the works at this time, but seeing interest from Build-a-Bear Workshop is the first step. Let's see if anything comes of it!
