Tuxedosam Becomes Latest Build-a-Bear Sanrio Plush

The Sanrio Build-a-Bear is a bit bigger, as there is now a Tuxedosam plush in the collection. While he is a traditional stuffed animal people can build for $34 in the US and £26 in the UK, it is also possible to pick up a pre-stuffed, smaller plush of his friend Chip for $15 in the US and £13.50 in the UK. 

There are multiple ways to get the Build-a-Bear Tuxedosam plush. The obvious one is to pick up the stuffed animal alone. That just gets you the toy without any sounds or scents. You can also get him with a plush ice cream wristie that looks like him and a vest for $54 in the US and £42 in the UK. The cone accessory alone is $6.50/£5, while the vest costs $13.50/£11 separately. The final bundle includes the full outfit and for Tuxedosam and adds Chip for $62.50 in the US and £50.50 in the UK. 

Here is how all the new items look:

Build-a-Bear has gradually been building up its Sanrio plush collection. Keroppi joined the collection in January 2024, for example. Before that, we saw Pochacco appear. There was also a Pompompurin plush, which could be accompanied by his friend Muffin, in November 2024.

The Tuxedosam and Chip plush are now available at Build-a-Bear stores worldwide both in-store and online.
