Hi everyone! I just wanted to show you all the latest addition to my Beanie Baby collection, Canyon the cougar!

Canyon isn’t a new Beanie Baby, he was released waaaay back in 1998, making this little cutie 28 years old! He isn’t even a particularly rare Beanie Baby, in fact he’s only worth between $1-5. But for me, this little guy is perfect!

Weirdly, I never particularly had a great fondness for Canyon as a kid. I didn’t DISLIKE him or anything, he just never stood out to me like other Beanie Babies. But I saw this little guy on Vinted for £1.50 (around $2) and couldn’t just leave him there…all alone…waiting for someone to take him home…

So I did.

Now, let’s take a closer look at this adorable feline…

A little bit about Canyon…

First for the basic info on Canyon.

His style number is 4212.

He is made up of a light brown body and head and a cream coloured tummy. His button eyes and golden and black, he has a peach nose and black thread whiskers. There is a black stripe on both sides of his muzzle and he has black and white ears.

Canyon ALWAYS had a 5th generation hang tag and a 6th generation tush tag (see my “Hang Tag Identification Guide” and “Tush Tag Identification Guide” for more information on tag generations.

Here is a picture of the front of his 5th generation hang tag…

and here is his 6th generation tush tag…

Canyon’s Birthday is on 29th May 1998. His poem reads as follows:

I climb rocks and run really fast
Try to catch me, it’s a blast
Through the mountains, I used to roam
Now in your room, I’ll call it home!

Now that we’ve taken a look at Canyon in a bit more detail, what do I think of the Canyon Beanie Baby I bought off Vinted?

What do I think about my Vinted Canyon Beanie Baby?

One word. Perfect! There is not one thing wrong with him!

His tags are in mint condition, his whiskers are still in tact. In fact, his fur still retains that “new Beanie Baby” plushness that you would have if you bought him straight out of the shop in 1998!

I am so happy with him, and the seller was great too. She kept me updated throughout and even put this lovely little note inside…

I thought this this was a wonderful touch and Helen probably doesn’t realise, but her note really made my day!
