RUBY ROO

Arrival Date: 2/17/26

Size: 13" officially. Definitely taller in hand. Her legs are long!

Year: 2026

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $55

Thoughts: Ruby was a pretty good contender for a top fave, but I was disappointed when I pulled her out. She's the only one without the round black nose, which makes her a little more monstery and less cutesy. But only one of the nostrils on mine showed! I had to trim the fur with scissors to make the other visible. Now that she's got a definitely nose, she's much cuter. She's a big girl, too. 13 inches, my ass. Maybe 13" seated! I'm expecting her to be a great cuddler like Amethyst. 

TOPAZ BLU

Arrival Date: 2/17/26

Size: 10.5"

Year: 2026

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $47.50

Thoughts: Okay, honestly, this one is my least favorite, but she immediately grabbed Bedrock the ogre's hand and Bedrock is one of my surprise loves from the previous series. So Topaz may end up on equal par with the other girls yet. 

EMERALD LOU

Arrival Date: 2/17/26

Size: 9.5"

Year: 2026

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $45

Thoughts: I love Emmy Lou more than I expected to. She's not much bigger than Sapphire and her legs are also pretty much permanently seated. Her colors though! It's interesting that they only went with green accents on her even though she's Emerald. I like the peach hair and ears and toes. I think she's the only one with thumbs! Each one has different hands and feet. 

SAPPHIRE SUE

Arrival Date: 2/17/26

Size: 8"

Year: 2026

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $40

Thoughts: If there was going to be one I would have guessed as my fave, it would be Sapphire because I'm a September kid and that's my birthstone. I love her coloring and her little face. The main issue with the faces on these is that their plush can obscure some of the features. Sapphire's smile shows clearly on her right side, but not so much on the left. She looks very mischievous though and of course I'm here for that. She's the smallest of the bunch, which makes her actually the least cuddly. I like them a little bit bigger than she is and the smaller ones from this series are almost stuck in a seated position. Her legs don't flop down like Amethyst's or Ruby's. But that aside, she definitely still is cuddly and I love her. She's just not my clear favorite in person. 

AMETHYST BOO

Arrival Date: 2/17/26

Size: 11.5" officially. Seems taller when she's actually in hand.

Year: 2026

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: CB Direct

Cost: $52.50

Thoughts: I absolutely adore the new gemstone trolls Bearhouse line, but they had a horrible time getting to me, thanks to screw ups by both the US Cubhouse (incorrect measurements and weight, leading to me having to pay almost $25 to get my box) and USPS (did not hand off the package to the pick up location until a day after I was told I could pick it up, so they were stuck there for the entire holiday weekend). But they're finally here and I love them all. I don't have a clear favorite, though I think Amethyst is the best made of the five. Her face is perfect, though it may not look it in photos. I love how lanky she is and she's so soft!
