Peanut the elephant walks on tip-toes
Quietly sneaking wherever she goes
She’ll sneak up on you and a hug
You will get
Peanut is a friend you won’t soon forget!
Collectors note
Peanut the Royal Blue Elephant was introduced on 3rd June 1995.
The Royal Blue version was quickly retired on 2nd October 1995 due to it’s colour being a production error, and subsequently a light blue Peanut the Elephant was released. The Royal Blue version is one of the most rare and valuable Beanie Babies in existence, fetching high prices when sold.
A Beanie Buddy version of the Royal Blue Peanut was introduced in 1998, and a McDonald’s Teenie Beanie in 2000.
One is authenticated (purchased in late 2005 for around £700) the other not but looks authentic.
