Beanie Babies
A Beanie Baby is a popular stuffed animal, made by Ty Warner Inc.,
which was later renamed as Ty Inc. in late 1993.
Each toy has an inner "poseable lining" and is stuffed with plastic
pellets
(or "beans") rather than conventional stuffing, giving Beanie Babies a
flexible feel.
The original nine Beanie Babies launched in 1993 were Legs the
Frog, Squealer the Pig,
Spot the Dog, Flash the Dolphin, Splash the Whale, Chocolate the Moose,
Patti the Platypus, Brownie the Bear (later renamed "Cubbie"),
and Pinchers the Lobster (with some tag errors with "Punchers").
Ty, Inc. stopped producing the product in 1999;
but consumer demand led them to reconsider.
In 2000, a Beanie Baby named "The Beginning" was introduced
to remind people of the 'Beanie Babies' comeback.
Beanie Babies are still popular child's and collectors plush toys.
Various styles are still introduced, produced,
THEN RETIRED, for COLLECTORS of ALL AGES, today!
Since the beginning, Beanie Babies have included two tags for
identification:
a heart-shaped "swing tag" at the top, and a fabric "tush tag" at the
bottom.
Both tags have been redesigned completely over time;
thus adding to the ability to date the products.
Between 1994 and 1996, the swing tags had
"To" and "From" blanks in them for use as gifts.
Starting in early 1996, the tags included four-line poems
related to the Beanie Baby, and a date of birth for the toy.
It was not uncommon for Beanie Babies to be
accidentally shipped out
with incorrect or misspelled tags, which sometimes increased the toy's
value.
On occasion, the poems, birth dates and even the names have been changed
on certain Beanie Babies.
A Beanie Baby is a small Fabric (sculpture) Figurine referred to as
"PLUSH"...
THEY WERE MADE AS A CHILDREN'S TOY.
ALL AGES like to COLLECT THEM;
to play with (dressing in costumes), to use as holiday decorations,
or simply to LOOK AT...
Have FUN with your COLLECTION!
