To announce the bear’s release, RuPaul posted a video on her Instagram unboxing the namesake Build-A-Bear. “I feel like a proud parent!” she says in the video, “Build-A-Bear! Rawr!”
Build-A-Bear launched the RuPaul teddy through its sub-brand, The Bear Cave, which offers Build-A-Bear products intended for people 18 and up. The Bear Cave has also collaborated with TV shows like The Office and Ted Lasso, movie franchises like Star Wars and Black Panther, and the Van Gough Museum (they even have a $2,000 bear created in collaboration with Swarovski).
The new RuPaul bear comes as Season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race begins to near its close. The season has been running since January, and now features just four remaining queens: Sasha Colby, Anetra, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Luxx Noir London.
