Earlier this year, Build-a-Bear Workshop revealed that it would soon be offering official Animal Crossing: New Horizons plushies for sale. Well, the wait is almost over!

The company has confirmed that pre-orders for the collection will be starting in the west on 6 April 2021. Those who have signed up for notifications on Build-a-Bear’s website (US/UK) will get to join a virtual waiting room at 9:30am CDT (10:30am. EDT/7:30am PDT), where they will get a preview of the new plushies. Fans who enter the waiting room before 10am CDT (11am EDT/7am PDT) will be then be assigned randomly a spot in the waiting line to purchase the plushies. If selected, customers will have limited time to buy the plushies.

Meanwhile, those who miss this opportunity to purchase the plushies may get another chance in Summer 2021, when the collection will be available at Build-a-Bear Workshop’s retail outlets.

Here’s the full FAQ about the release below, from Build-a-Bear Workshop:
