FIRE ELF

 

Arrival Date: 1/29/26

Size: 15"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $124.95

Thoughts: I honestly did not notice how tall Fire was until I took him out of the box. At 17", he's a full three inches taller than Water, who's the next closest one. He's also taller than both Tree Elf and Meadow Troll, so he definitely feels huge compared to the rest of his fellow creatures. But it works. I don't think I was edging toward a favorite from this set when they first came out, though if I was, it was Earth. But now it's Fire. He's bigger but not heavy and he's super cuddly. I ended up getting my second choice on him, but I'm actually thrilled because while my first pick had the sweetest face, this one has EYELINER. And now that he's home, I think that's preferable. 

WIND ELF

 

Arrival Date: 1/29/26

Size: 13.5"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $112.50

Thoughts: Ooh, so cute! I'm glad the final two elves arrived from this past year's elemental series. Wind is the second smallest one, though she's only half an inch shorter than Water. She's a little frosty fluff ball of cuteness. 

NOVA

Arrival Date: 12/26/25

Size: 15"

Year: 2025

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $195

Thoughts: I've had poor Nova for a while and didn't get around to photographing her. She's one of the smaller dragons in this style. I love her fur, which is the same as Confetti's. She's soft, cute and detailed, just like all these dragons. 

BEDROCK

 

Arrival Date: 11/22/25

Size: 10"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $47.50

Thoughts: And finally, we have Bedrock, the last of the ogres. He's 10", which puts him only an inch shorter than Quarry and Cobblestone, but he feels smaller than that. Not as small as Pebble though. Maybe it's because he's not as bulky as the big guys. All of these fellows are on the ugly cute side, which I love. 

PEBBLE

 

Arrival Date: 11/22/25

Size: 8"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $42.50

Thoughts: At 8", Pebble is the smallest of the series and another of my favorites. He's just so cute! Like an 80s fantasy movie critter. 

QUARRY

 

Arrival Date: 11/22/25

Size: 11"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $52.50

Thoughts: Quarry is the third of the larger characters and the only larger ogre. I'm not sure if there really is any distinction between ogres and giants. I thought maybe the pointed teeth, but Pebble has square teeth and is an orge. No idea! Quarry is my favorite from the set. There's something about him that's so cute. I'm always a fan of this, as I call it, mushroom-colored fabric, too. 

BOULDER

 

Arrival Date: 11/22/25

Size: 13"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $62.50

Thoughts: Boulder is the actual largest of the giants and of the line, though she really doesn't feel bigger than Cobblestone or Quarry. I'm not sure why I think of her as female, but I do. 

COBBLESTONE

 

Arrival Date: 11/22/25

Size: 11"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $57.50

Thoughts: This year's ogres and giants line for the Bearhouse is some of Charlie and Alison's most creative work. These guys are so unusual! They're definitely not as cutesy as the gargoyles and dragons from the first two series. I've been waiting eagerly for the Bearhouse to get them in and they finally arrived yesterday. Super soft, super cuddly. Not a single disappointment! This is Cobblestone, the second largest of the giants. He's one of my faves. 

WILKINSON

 

Arrival Date: 11/12/25

Size: 17.5"

Year: 2025

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $142.50

Thoughts: Wilkinson was the only bear I preordered this year. Everyone else was an elf or a dragon or Belfry. He's my fourth bear of the year, as I chose pretty Miss Gabor and Sofia, and then fell for Cherry Pip. But Sofia and Cherry were secret releases, and I didn't want to fully commit to Miss Johnson (Gabor) until I saw her real colors. But Wilkinson? He was a must have right off the bat. I adore his colors. He's smaller than I expected, as he's on the skinny side, which is fine by me. He's still a very good size, but for some reason, I was envisioning him bigger. Lovely colors and cuddly with a great face. Love him!

BELFRY

 

Arrival Date: 11/12/25

Size: 9"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: Free with rewards (Retail $65)

Thoughts: Itty bitty Belfry arrived today and he is perfectly cute. I love that teeny tiny face!
