Realized I hadn't shared the modifications I made to Gandalf, my Lord of the Rings bear from BABW.
With all due respect to Elijah Wood, I really didn't like him with the blue eyes, so I replaced them with these 15mm solid black ones for that classic teddy bear look. I also embroidered a few stitches so he would have a visible philtrum, he just looked so uncanny valley without one to me. I really like how he turned out! (I also added a bunch of extra stuffing since I could only get him online where they only do a default level of stuffing, and I prefer firmly stuffed BABs, but I hardly count that as a modification.)
He's wearing an official BABW birthday shirt and holding a BABW birthday cake that are pieces I thrifted. No particular occasion, it's just what he's wearing right now lol. If it's your birthday and you see this, he's celebrating you I guess.
