The Gift Bundle refers to the summer outfits on Isabelle and Tom, which can seemingly be traded out with other Build-A-Bear clothing items as per usual. Each plush starts at $51, and there are two versions of each NPC, called a "Summer Gift Bundle" with either phrases or themed music. Still, for those who wish to purchase the Isabelle and Tom Nook plushes, they'll have to wait in a lengthy queue line that looks to be hours long. Nintendo and the plush company were both quiet about the lineup previously, so these villagers could always be added further down the line, though it's unlikely.

Of course, there are NPCs other than Isabelle who have struck a chord with players, such as Celeste and the Able Sisters. But there are plenty of villagers loved by fans throughout the series, such as Marshal and Dom, who became hot commodities among fans trading villagers for millions of bells online. Isabelle and Tom Nook have become the faces of the Animal Crossing franchise, and when it comes to New Horizons items such as the Nintendo Switch and matching HORI controllers, Nintendo certainly milks them as the mascots. Build-A-Bear's Animal Crossing: New Horizon plushes are out now, but it only currently includes two predictable characters, disappointing fans of the franchise who were hoping to see at least a few New Horizons villagers on the list.
