Build-a-Bear – Gandalf!

That’s right I totally cracked (eventually) to get another amazing Build-a-bear and quite frankly I should not be allowed to look at them! Why oh why do they need to have and create so many amazing film related bears now?

If you wanted to have just a Lord of the Rings bear than that is perfectly possible, with the logo on one foot and part of the map of middle earth on the other then you can just buy that on its own! Originally it was Gandalf and Frodo as options, but more recently Legolas has been added (it took a lot of restraint to not order something with Orlando Bloom’s voice in it!).

Theatre Merchandise: Mary Poppins

After seeing Mary Poppins last night I must also report that it was not just the show that was magical the merchandise to buy was equally as good! I mean I had a feeling it would be considering Newcastle’s Theatre Royal was advertising for extra staff to work on the merchandise stands (that never happens, ever) so I had a feeling it would therefore be impressive.

Then I heard they were selling umbrellas with Parrot head and all!

Star Wars – Darth Vader

Although it does work out quite a lot more than that adding the sounds and other accessories. But you will see soon why I had to get something else to go with this one! Again a chance to pick sounds, I opted for two in this one felt that I just had to have not only his heavy breathing but also his theme music. I mean come on it really wouldn’t have been the same without them would it?!?

Star Wars – Chewie

With my new-found Star Wars love I couldn’t help totally jumping on the bandwagon and then buying some merchandise. The stuff I opted for was from Build-A-Bear, you know where they stuff them right in front of you and you can pick everything about them placing sounds inside and plenty of different outfit choices available which also means the price does very quickly increase! I have seen a few times now that Build-A-Bear has had different bears relating to films, you can still pick up the three minions along with a dragon (How to Train Your Dragon) and now you can get Star Wars “bears” which are more expensive than the others at £27 each!
