Bashful Aqua Bunny (Medium)
Retired: Yes — 2019
Retired some time in 2019; we don't have a more precise date.
The beloved Bashful Aqua Bunny from 2014 is a delightful blue-turquoise soft toy featuring long floppy ears, black button eyes, and a charming pink nose. This Medium-sized Bunny is part of the cherished Bashful Bunnies collection, making it a wonderful addition to any Jellycat enthusiast's lineup. While this adorable rabbit has retired from the current lineup, it remains a sought-after piece among collectors.

About Bashful Aqua Bunny
The Bashful Aqua Bunny is one of the more unusual colourways Jellycat gave its most familiar shape: the standard Bashful rabbit — long floppy ears, hard black eyes, a pink nose, a bean-weighted bottom that lets it slump — done in a blue-turquoise rather than the beige or cream most people picture. That single decision is why collectors chase it. The silhouette is comfortingly ordinary; the colour is not, and among a shelf of neutral Bashfuls an aqua one reads immediately as something the current range no longer offers.
It came in three sizes, all of which we hold, and independent catalogue sources place its release at 2014 and its retirement around 2019. Two of our three rows say 2016 instead, which we think is wrong — treat the year as approximate either way, and the day as unknown. It no longer appears in Jellycat's own index.
One caution when shopping: a separate Blossom Aqua Bunny exists, and sellers mix the two names freely. Listings for both turn up under the same searches, so check the pattern on the ears before you commit.
- Exact release and retirement dates — no archive.org coverage of Jellycat's own page for this design, so both are year-level at best.
- Whether Jellycat's own copy called the colour 'aqua' as a shade name or described it differently; we have no primary wording.
- Retirement year for the Small (BASS6AQ) and Tiny (BAB6AQ) rows, which carry no retirement bounds of their own despite being retired.
- Whether the three sizes were released simultaneously.
- Real sale prices — all price signal we hold is live asking prices, which say nothing about what anything sold for.
