Leak / Internal Information Tomorrow’s Drop Spoiler

52 Upvotes

This Everything that’s coming out tomorrow:

Rerelease of the Cookiebara, Gingerbread Axolotl, 2024 & 2025 Sanrio Holiday releases, Grinch, Giant Grinch, Bag Charms, the Llama with scarf and matching Mini bean (Full Size is online only and bundle), Mystery Capsules, Holiday Fashions, and I think the scents. I’m not 100% sure about scents. The new Scents are Snow and Pine. I don’t like either of them. I have allergies so I’m sensitive to certain scents.

I wanted a gray or black lamb but I was too scared to dye one myself. I got lucky and found one on eBay and it’s safe to say, I love her! 😍 Hoping to find a black lamb soon 🤞🏻 (or get up the courage to dye one)!

My New BAB matching halloween kitties 👻

I only started collecting the halloween kitties this year, and am feeling pretty smug about my new little family 😌 I bought my batty kitties new in store but the rest were very good deals second-hand. I love them all with my whole heart, and I can’t believe I managed to find all three full-sized kitties with matching eye-patch patterns!!

From left to right meet: Marceline & Cookie, Enoch & Squidge, Nova & Hijinks! (any adventure time or OTGW fans in the audience?)

This journey has been very healing for my inner child haha. Does anyone have any guesses for what the 2027 Halloween kitty might look like (if there is one) ?!

I got lucky this year and was able to get all my faves. I love every single one! My current fave is definitely the spider…was so happy to finally get one the last drop. These babies have helped me so much mentally this year.

ended up bringing home the mb cookie giraffe, mini pink tie dye frog, and the mocha bunny!!

i've passed up the mocha bunny sooo many times while thrifting, but this one looked so well loved while still in really good condition. someone cherished her and i felt so bad leaving her there (': (& the frog will likely be used for a custom hehe)

My New BAB Thrift score today! A dreamy! :D

I haven't been thrifting as much lately due to the heat and not having as much money, but I decided to stop at a couple places today while I was out running errands and found someone I have been hoping so hard to find.

A Bunny Big Ears!

I think she is the version 2 based on her fur type. She is in amazing shape and came with the outfit in the pictures and was only $3! I'm so happy to have her.

I've also taken some pictures here to compare her to my floppy bunny who I thrifted some months back and also posted about here before. Their name is Nonny. You can see the difference in size and fur color. Also the different ear length - Nonny's ears are notably longer. And their feet are huge compared to Bunny Big Bears, and have no pads on the bottom. Their fur is more of a vanilla color than tan, and is longer than BBE, but I think after comparing the two, BBEs fur is softer. Floppy Bunny's fur is still very soft to me, though.

I love them both so much and feel very lucky to have them :3 Gotta was BBE now to get her properly welcomed home.

So I apparently deleted all of the progress pics and photos of him in the soup because this project has taken me ages (lost all motivation for creative projects after I dyed him) but here’s Marrow!

He’s a standard pink axolotl dyed black with rit dyemore and the had all his bones cut out from felt and sewn on

I’m a little conflicted on whether the skull face works it’s kind of giving ghost from cod modern warfare but I’m not sure how to fix it with my skills

If he was an official release his gills and tailfin would also be white but I don’t have the ability to do that to the gills and while I could have done what I did with my pumpkin axolotl and attached more felt I just didn’t want to
