Retired Peace Bear

No two Peace Bears are the same.

Never played with and has hang tag.

Peace the Bear was designed and created in 1996, though wasn’t officially released until February 1997. Peace has a hippie-inspired, tie-dye design as well as a peace sign embroidered on the chest, and is the natural successor to Garcia the Bear.

Peace the Bear’s psychedelic tie-dye fur is a big reason why it has remained so popular among collectors, as it means it’s one of very few Beanie Babies where no two look exactly alike. Peace was also discontinued in 1999, giving it a short production run. As a result, with fewer created and sold, Peace’s relative scarcity contributes to higher desirability amongst Beanie Baby enthusiasts.

Of course, the coolest thing about the Peace bear Beanie Babies is that their tie-dye design means that no two bears are exactly like each other. As such, there’s the potential for cool colour glitches like pyjamas, where the bear is one solid colour from their neck to their toes.
