Retired Original Beanie Babies

Retired Original Beanie Babies

Retired original Beanie Babies are plush toys that are collector's items. These small stuffed animals from Ty Warner can add to your collection or simply be a way to celebrate your favorite animal. Whether you like Pugsley, Teenie, Bissonnette, or Boos, there are plenty of Ty Beanie Babies available.

Beanie Babies are crafted by Ty Warner. They are stuffed animals that don’t use conventional stuffing but instead use plastic pellets, also known as beans. Being understuffed with these plastic pellets gives each toy flexibility and adorable floppiness. The original collection was released in 1993, however, they were not factory-produced until 1994.

The original 1993 Ty collection includes the following retired Beanie Babies.

• Legs the Frog is a medium green color with black eyes. This plush Beanie frog was first produced April 25, 1993, and it remained in production until October 1, 1997.
• Chocolate the Moose is brown with beige antlers. He was debuted on April 27, 1993, and retired on December 31, 1998.

Due to their age and collectability, you should be careful when cleaning and storing your original Beanie Baby toy. It is recommended to store your collectible Ty Beanie away from direct sunlight and heat. You may also want to cover them so that they do not get dusty. If they become dirty, you can gently spot clean them with a soft cloth and warm water as needed.
