Folks, I just about exploded with happiness when I saw these li'l fellers. HOW CUTE! These just came in to us today. They're a first-pass from Ty, the makers of Beanie Babies, at Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! beanies. You'll see that while Widget and Walden look awesome (I think), but the Wubbster himself still needs a little work. He's looking a bit Frankenstein-ish and his hands are all messed up. This is kind of the way it works with production. They send us a prototype, we make notes and comments, they send another... and so on and so forth. You'd be surprised at just how difficult it is to take a 2-D version of a character and transform it to 3-D, but we'll get there!
The bad news? well, these guys won't be finishing production until - you guessed it - fall next year. Sorry, but at least you have something to look forward to, right?
Waldo looks SO COOL!!!!
My kiddos book fair starts today!!
Can't wait to see if they have the Wubbzy book pack!!
:)

They look great! It's gotta be amazing to see your work come to fuzzy 'stuffed animal' life! Keep up the great work!
