Everybody out of the water!

As Discovery Channel’s Shark Week rapidly approaches, shark lovers can show their pride with some new toys and games hitting shelves this month.

Build-A-Bear is back with a new Shark Week collection (pictured above) for the third year in a row. A plush great white shark is swimming into stores throughout July, and a plush saw shark is launching on buildabear.com as an online exclusive. Dandee is also releasing plush shark toys at Walmart and Ahold.
