I’ll get Isabelle from the Animal Crossing x Build-A-Bear collection to end all my procrastination

Her cheerful-but-stern face will keep me on course

International plush toy brand Build-A-Bear has announced that it is teaming with Nintendo to produce a brand new range based on the latter’s super-cute social simAnimal Crossing. The company made thesuccinct announcement on Twitter, but did not offer any information regarding characters, prices, or release dates – merely offering a mailing list for interested parties.

I’m an interested party. Not particularly because I care forAnimal Crossing, but I do appreciate the hard-working, desk-bound attitude of cheerful good girl and staunch office worker, Isabelle. I think a plush edition of the pringle-wearing hound, satjustoutside of my field of view, will offer me the drive and oppressive guilt needed to stay sat at my desk working – not wandering off to the kitchen to open the fridge… boil the kettle… look out the window… open the fridge again. Isabelle’s jovial death stare will see my output increase an estimated 138%
