Build-A-Bear is known for licensing some great stuffed versions of characters from various franchises and Pokemon is already being revisited. The company recently released a different Eeveelution Build-A-Bear, and now Umbreon is joining the lineup.
The official Build-A-Bear Twitter account recently shared that Pokemon trainers will be able to create their perfect Umbreon soon. Umbreon is officially the first dark-type Pokemon to receive the Build-A-Bear treatment, with fire-type, electric-type, psychic-type, and more already represented at Build-A-Bear.

Several other Pokemon and Nintendo characters have received the Build-A-Bear treatment since the company took off in the early 2000s. Other Build-A-Bear Pokemon include Squirtle, Charmander, Pikachu, Scorbunny, Mew, Eevee, and other Eeveelutions. Most of these Pokemon plushies can be built in-store or online, with online offering some exclusive rewards.
If Pokemon fans opt to order the new Umbreon plushie through Build-A-Bear's website, they'll be greeted with various rewards that aren't available in store. The online Umbreon comes with an exclusive black and red cape, sleeper, and sound chip included. This comes in addition to any other accessories that Pokemon fans bling their Umbreon's with.
Online-only bundles are nothing new to Build-A-Bear, but they may encourage more Pokemon trainers to order online rather than actually going to a store in order to use the Workshop. Taking to Twitter to voice their displeasure, some Pokemon fans are suggesting that the Umbreon plushie is already sold out in their area. While other Pokemon plushies that are sold out include Squirtle, and Charmander, Pikachu, Eevee, and Jolteon are still in stock.
Some Pokemon trainers are expecting the addition of more Eeveelutions to the Build-A-Bear lineup because of how quickly after the release of a different one that Umbreon is being sold. In addition to Umbreon, Pokemon fans implored Build-A-Bear to restock the Mew, Vaporeon, and Scorbunny so that they can begin collecting the stuffed Pokemon. A handful of Pokemon fans have confirmed that not only are these plushies out of stock online, but in stores as well.
Several Pokemon trainers took to Twitter to voice their opinions on what Pokemon should be added to the Build-A-Bear roster soon. These unreleased Pokemon include Jigglypuff, Vulpix, and Sylveon. A large portion of Build-A-Bear's followers have expressed enthusiasm about the new "good boy" addition of Umbreon to the catalog, with some of them enthusiastically spending several dollars for more than one.
With so many Pokemon being added to the Build-A-Bear catalog, it appears that the stuffed animal company is creating its own party of Pokemon. Espeon recently joined the Build-A-Bear catalog, following the addition of other Eeveelutions such as Flareon, Jolteon, and now Umbreon.
