New villager rumored to hit shelves
Three weeks ago, I received a limited edition Animal Crossing: New Horizon (ACNH) themed Switch console along with the ACNH game.
While I have played the game before on someone else’s island, I had never been able to create an island of my own.
Until recently. ACNH just celebrated its one- year anniversary (what perfect timing). And with this milestone came the announcement; Build-A-Bear will be re- leasing an Animal Crossing collection.
As someone who has been in love, and possibly addicted, to this game for almost a month, tracking the re- lease date was no surprise to myself.
The first collection was released on April 6 and was sadly sold out that same day before I could snatch one.
The collection only consisted of Tom Nook and Isabelle. Rumor has it, however, that other villagers will be released as time goes on.
So far, the names rumored to be released are K.K Slider, Raymond, Audie, Marshal, Fauna, Bob, Coco, Merengue, Diana, Ankha and Stitches.
While these are not a bad selection of characters, I was quite disappointed to hear that certain villagers weren’t expected to be part of the collection. For instance, Timmy and Tommy.
Although they are identical, it would be perfect to have the Tom Nook and Timmy and Tommy collection.
Other characters I was hoping to see were Blathers and Celeste who, I believe, are incredibly iconic.
Lastly, Celia would have been an amazing edition; who wouldn’t like a big, colorful, feathered BAB bird?
It would be amazing if the BAB online site let customers customize their own personal avatars. But, as stated, these are all just merely rumors.
Who knows what’s to come over the next few months. Hopefully the ACNH x BAB collection will not disappoint.
