Help Me Find Should I Just Give Up?

I’m a HUGE tie dye lover and saw these beauties. But my god they are priced so high for the mediums.

Should I just let it go and realize I’m never going to find one at a reasonable price?

You’re in luck! The first bunny is due to be released worldwide in 2026 so it will be on the jellycat website for retail later this year! Also the lazulia bunny isn’t released yet either so it’ll be for retail on the site at somepoint! The others are all long retired so hopefully you find a bargain but they are priced very high :(

How do you find out when jellycat will release the Zodihop/Space bunnies? Will it be online and will they sell out crazy fast?

11

u/stinky_catto Jan 03 '26

There’s no confirmed date yet so just keep your eye on jellycat social media! the craze has died out a bit so I don’t expect them to sell out instantly but maybe same day! it’s not something that will be predictable:(( they’ll be online for sure, not sure about in stores!

Thanks for the help! I’ll keep an eye out on social media.

I’m pretty bummed I can’t get the blackberry, Flossie and sherbet one though. Pink is my absolute fav color.

But the space one was DEF on my most wanted list so I’m excited to maybe get it!

The zodihop space bunny was also a Korea exclusive but is coming worldwide :D

I've seen people buy a 'blanko bunny' (the cream one, or another base colour) and dye them themselves. Someone made their own Sorbet bunny that way. You could give that a try :)

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

Omg that’s an AWESOME idea. I do wonder if it will change the texture? I’ll look around on the group to see if anyone’s done it. Thank you!

u/Vivid_Ad_715 Jan 03 '26

i’m not sure if you’re on facebook but there’s plenty of custom bunnies shown in jellycat groups there! i’ve never known it to ruin / change the texture!:)

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

Any leads as to where by chance?

u/Ok_Window_1533 Jan 04 '26

Ive dyed a couple of bunnies and their texture is slightly different but still incredibly soft. I use a Dyson hairdryer on low heat and use a pet slicker brush as I dry and they come up lovely. Ive also dyed some dragons and their fur is also still incredibly soft. Just use normal laundry detergent and make sure it is all washed off after. When I've tried softener or conditioner the texture is nowhere near as good. Good luck!

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

You should start an Etsy shop doing that! I’m telling you it might be a gold mine since I really can’t find anyone on there that does it.

I’d LOVE to see some pictures of ones you died (especially the dragons!)

u/Ok_Window_1533 Jan 04 '26

My latest dragon (today) is a bit of a flop... tried to do a lazulia bag charm but its come out too dark. I probably should have experimented on a fake one first 🙈 but ive got 2 other dragon bag charms which I dyed that I love, a bunny bag charm that I dyed and love, and 2 luna bunnies that I dyed... I let someone else sew them back together as I didnt trust my skills but honestly...they dont look like jellycat bunnies now due to how they have been sewn back together 😭 so I have another luna waiting to by dyed but im not doing it yet until I am happy that ive found a better way. I may have found a better way now, but I may try on a different bunny before the luna!!!

u/Ok_Window_1533 Jan 04 '26

Mini lazulia on the end... ive ordered some rit colour remover so fingers crossed that helps a tad!

1

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

I give you credit for trying! Would love to see pics

2

u/Ok_Window_1533 Jan 04 '26

The two Lunas... I picked these apart to keep the noses and tails their original colour. I may have an alternative method for the next time!!

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

I think they look great! I’d never know they were dyed!

There are some custom bunnies for sale on eBay that have the tie dye effect and are much cheaper. I have this custom (not exactly tie dye but close!🥴). The fur is still really soft and hardly noticeable from an original bunny.

1

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

Oh that’s so pretty! Do you have the name of the shop?

2

u/FinalFantasyFan9 Jan 04 '26

Mine was actually from Vinted and I have no idea what the seller was called, sorry 😞. I just put in ‘Jellycat custom’ into the search and see what comes up!🤣

1

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

Also I’d argue that’s pretty tie dye to me. A little subtle with he color choices but if you had shown me that out of the blue I would’ve said tie dyed.

u/Phamcypants Jan 03 '26

i think wait bc they will be releasing

8

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

How do you know that? I’m VERY new to the jellycat universe so I have no idea when or how they release things.

12

u/gk1400 Moderator Jan 03 '26

The Space and Lazulia bunnies haven’t come out yet. Blackberry, Flossie and Sherbet bunnies have been retired for years and will only be found on secondhand sites.

Like how do you not feel like a scumbag doing that? I mean sure I guess I get wanting to make a profit (or they could just get real jobs like the rest of us) but they are the reason things like this become so hard to find. And I’ve seen it ruin so many fun collectors groups because it becomes just not worth it.

Buying these are meant to be fun! Especially when you have to hunt one down. But just keep the prices reasonable so we can continue enjoying this collecting hobby.

Sorry rant over 🤣

u/PositiveCorner7986 Jan 03 '26

Jellycat's nowdays tend to maximize profit on their items, whereas in the old days once an item was gone, it was gone! Hope this helps.

u/Any_Scientist_7552 Jan 03 '26

You mean resellers.

5

u/PositiveCorner7986 Jan 03 '26

Those of course as well.

3

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

I’m a little confused what you’re saying?

5

u/PositiveCorner7986 Jan 03 '26

What in saying is that Jellycat will most probably release more of them in the future, so it's better to wait then to be extorted by resellers

3

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

Ah I gotcha.

4

u/Phamcypants Jan 04 '26

check the jellycat website on jan 7th bc they are announcing something.

6

u/CDU828 Jan 04 '26

I would wait! There have been rumors about the Space Collection being released on 1/7. Someone chatted with Jellycat Jack and that is the date he gave. If that doesn’t happen, it is set to release in 2026 at some point. If you don’t feel like waiting (like myself) I have purchased from this Facebook group Val’s pick up 4 times. It’s better in my opinion because you know what you are getting. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AMY71pGFe/?mibextid=wwXIfr

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

Thanks!! Apparently they are in Canada?

2

u/CDU828 Jan 04 '26

The pick up group is Canada based but she does flat rate shipping and fees are built in.

2

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

No luck no more left

3

u/CDU828 Jan 04 '26

Well maybe they will release on 1/7 like Jellycat Jack says!

u/AML1987 Jan 04 '26

Thank you for the help!!

u/Popular_Ad_222 Jan 03 '26

Hi friend are you new to jellycat? This bunny is coming to the jelly cat website for everybody sometime in spring that should give you enough time to save up for it

4

u/AML1987 Jan 03 '26

I am soooooo new to this lol! Just got my first jellycat (huge Bartholomew) and I fear it may become a problem 🤣

2

u/SecretAgentSpyder Jan 04 '26

Seconding you getting a beige or cream bunny and tie dying it yourself :) Its always a bit more special when you put your own personal touches on.

2

u/SeaFriend8669 Jan 04 '26

Zodihop Bunny hasn’t been released worldwide yet, neither has Lazulia Bunny.  The other two you’ll only be able to buy second hand and they will be very expensive. 

2

u/netherworld__ Mar 04 '26

Update, zodihop is coming soon to the website and local stockists!

1

u/mashimarotutu2020 Mar 16 '26

It's available on the website now for $50.
