RHYS

Arrival Date: 12/21/24

Size: 14"

Year: 2024 

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $133

Thoughts: I was not 100% on Rhys. I saw a really cute one from another stockist, but then my stockist had this one, so I picked him. He's super soft, thick Tyber, so he's very cuddly in person, and it didn't take me long to love him as much as I loved the other one's face. He's got a smooshy fat tummy and he slumps a little bit, so there's something about him you just want to cuddle. 

BEETLE BEAR

Arrival Date: 12/21/24

Size: 13.5"

Year: 2024 

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $133

Thoughts: Beetle was my second most wanted from the year after Bodmin. She does not disappoint! Her longer fur is silky soft and I love her beetley tummy. The antennae are soft and very poseable, so if you want to hug her, you can simply smooth them down and they won't poke you in the face. She sits like the gargoyles do, so I think that's who she's going to go hang out with on display.

WONDERLAND

Arrival Date: 12/18/24

Size: 17"

Year: 2024 Secret Collection

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: QVC

Cost: $161

Thoughts: Wonderland is basically Neverland in slightly different colors. If I'd known Wonderland was coming, I likely wouldn't have purchased Neverland, because I prefer Wonderland by a lot. He actually has Neverland's brighter colors on his back, but I love the green, blue and purple on the front.
