Build-a-Bear announced yet another Sanrio stuffed animal, as it is now selling a Giant Pompompurin plush. It is available with or without a Gifting Bow decoration. The standard version is $128. Getting it with a bow costs $134.50.
As expected, this is quite a large plush. It comes in at 36 inches tall. This means there are some restrictions. You can’t add a scent or a sound chip to it. It is also going to need a larger than usual box, which means you can’t choose Economy shipping and Express and Next Day cost $30 or $41 more than usual. However, you can opt to get it sent to you unstuffed, so you could have it stuffed in a store. The one with the Gifting Bow, which features a yellow Pompompurin design, can also arrive with the bow off so you can put it on yourself. (Said bow is also available on its own for $6.50.)
Here’s how the Giant Pompompurin Build-a-Bear plush looks. One of the photos the company shared features an adult holding it, to provide a sense of scale.
Build-a-Bear announced a promotion tied to this stuffed animal’s launch. If someone buys this Pompompurin, they also get 10% off other Sanrio items sold on the company’s website. That runs until November 1, 2024. However, that doesn’t apply a number of new releases. So you can’t get 10% off the holiday Cinnamoroll, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, or My Melody plush, the new Chococat, the 50th anniversary Hello Kitty, or have that 10% discount apply to any other “Giant” stuffed animal.
The Build-a-Bear Giant Pompompurin plush is available now, and the sale on stuffed animals if you buy it runs until November 1, 2024.
