It turns out that our own Damien McFerran is Build-A-Bear Bonus Club member, even though he doesn't know how, and along with other members got a heads up on another Pokémon joining the range this week.
It's fire-type Scorbunny, a recent addition to the franchise in Pokémon Sword & Shield as one of its starters. It arrives online and in UK stores tomorrow (6th May) at 3pm UK time, with this page of other Pokémon toys a good bet for where it'll end up. It'll be worth keeping an eye out on your regional Build-A-Bear websites and stores to see if they also add the 'Rabbit Pokémon'.
There's no extravagant waiting list setup planned, it seems, so this is unlikely to be a launch with the madness that accompanied the Animal Crossing range. In any case, is this one you want to add to the collection?

Hey @Hotgoomba ! I found your long lost twin!

Might want to correct that lol.
Scorbunny in clothes is cursed yet kind of adorable
Is it just me or does it look a little like it was deflated?
You would think 'Goes on sale tomorrow' would be a more enticing tagline than 'Goes on sale this week'. Regardless, Scorbunny is my favorite Gen 8 starter, and it even looks like BAB decided to go ahead and put it in it's Shiny form too, which is extra cool to see! So, yeah, I'll be getting it.
Can we have emo clothes for Raboot next?
His little PJ's though! <3 <3
"It turns out that our own Damien McFerran is Build-A-Bear Bonus Club member, even though he doesn't know how..."
@Damo Yeah yeah... Nothing to be ashamed about, my man.
What's with the ugly clothes?
Get nekkid, Scorbunny. (not something I thought I would have said on this fine morning)
It's okay, Build-a-bear seems overpriced for characters that have plushes widely available elsewhere.
The Pokémon Centre Scorbunny I have looks much better.
@Quarth In my defence, I have three kids 😅
@Silly_G To be honest, I did that with both my Isabelle and Tom Nook. But I had something more practical for Tom Nook: I made his classic apron for him.

@RupeeClock So, you're gonna just let the scalpers eat him up, and talk everyone into going for those official Pokemon Center plushes?
@NatiaAdamo aw man I thought I got rid of em
@Damo We're all kids at heart.
@YoshiAngemon
My comment didn't have much to do with availability.
My point was more that there are lots of different supplies of official Pokémon plushes, not just the Pokémon Centre ones.
I'm not a fan of build-a-bears limited availability practices though.
Eh, I was the first to get mine in the local store near me. Maybe the scalpers will target more popular Pokémon like possibly Espeon and Umbreon, and Mewtwo, if they should come out.
