Karma is arguably one of the most colourful Flippables around! Her body is covered in reversible sequins that are all the colours of the rainbow. Check out how pretty they are!
When you flip her sequins the other way, they change to sparkly silver, as shown below. She also has a ridge of sparkly, rainbow coloured spikes running along her back.
Her Birthday is on 19th January and her poem reads as follows:
A true chameleon, my colors do change Flip my sequins and watch as I rearrange!
Karma’s legs and tail don’t have sequins on them. Instead, they are made from a brightly coloured, rainbow material covered in a shiny scale pattern. What I love the most is Karma’s curled tail.
Karma was released in both a small and medium size.

In my last post, I mentioned that I had purchased a new Beanie that I’d seen based on one of the requests that I’d added and that I’d do a full review once I’d received her. Well….she arrived!
Genevieve is a beautiful white cat from the Attic Treasures collection! I couldn’t resist getting her!
I’ve given her fur a comb (well, who doesn’t have a bad hair day after being sent in the mail?), but now she’s back to her former glory. Her fur is really fluffy, so much so that I had to try and comb it out of the way of her gorgeous blue eyes! She has the cutest, embroidered pale pink nose and long, white thread whiskers. For the final touch, she has a little pink rose just above her right ear.
She has a 7th generation Attic Treasures hang tag (not to be confused with a 3rd generation Beanie Babies hang tag as they look very similar on the outside – see the Beanie Baby tag identification guide) and has the following phrase inside:
“Feline Great!”
It’s short and simple but suits her well, as she does indeed look like she’s feeling great.
When I saw Genevieve, I knew I HAD to have her in my collection! As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m a huge cat lover and love to collect the Ty cats. I also love her name, Genevieve. I think it sounds really pretty and goes well with her delicate features. Also…how cute are those toe beans?!
I’ve always loved the Attic Treasures collection. It’s one of my favourite product lines along with Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos. I love how they have a vintage look to them, and like their name suggests, have come straight out of the attic.
Do you have Genevieve in your collection or any other Attic Treasures? What do you think of Genevieve? Leave a comment below!
I hope you’ve had a great week! I just wanted to share with you all my latest Beanie haul!
It started off with three Beanies from The Magical Gift Boutique, who are a fantastic shop for buying Beanies based in the UK. I saw that they had the suit-wearing Mr. Bean teddy Beanie Baby back in stock and, being a long-time lover of the TV series, Mr. Bean, I had to have him! I was lucky too as later that day, they had sold out again! I also ordered Gertie and Faye (the unicorn fox) along with him.
I have to say that Gertie is actually better in real life than I first thought. She was one of those mad Beanie Boos that I wasn’t too sure about, but now I actually love her craziness!
Last weekend, I also had some luck in Clinton’s as they had a 20% discount on Ty products. I took advantage of that and bought Kate, Fredrick, Lola and Marshall (Paw Patrol). Marshall I bought for my Paw Patrol-loving daughter’s collection.
Rafaella is part of the Attic Treasures collection and she reminds me of the Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She could easily be one of the fairies from the play. I think she is one of my favourite finds this week.
I also bought Darla, who arrived in the mail earlier this week.
As you may know from a previous post, I have been trying to collect the dragon Beanie Boos. Now I can add Darla and Kate to that set. Yes, I know Kate is TECHNICALLY a Flippable, but I’ve included her anyway since Flippables are pretty much glammed-up Beanie Boos. This is my dragon collection so far:
Now I just need Cinder, Spectra and Merlin to complete the small dragon Beanie Boos.
I also bought an adorable little bear called Cody. He came from a wonderful charity called the Folly Wildlife Rescue who do fantastic work rescuing injured and orphaned animals and birds all year round.
Cody, like most Attic Treasures has jointed limbs that can be posed. So he can wave to you, like this!
He’s just so lovely and fuzzy that I couldn’t resist him. I love the original Attic Treasures as they have so much personality.
Finally…my latest Beanie Boo which I have been wanting for a while now….
Loy!
I can’t believe I finally have this little guy!
Loy is a Japanese exclusive Beanie Boo, and features an additional Japanese hang tag with the most adorable picture on it!
His red Ty hang tag is written in English with the birth date of 10th November and his poem reads as follows:
No truer companion will you ever find I’m loyal and loving to all of mankind.
I’m so happy I finally have Loy in my collection as he was the only one available in the UK at the time!

Another lovely day here at Beaniepedia HQ! Freckles took a walk in the park this morning and found a very interesting-looking plant that looked like a cabbage.
At the weekend, we went Beanie Hunting! We went to the charity shops in search of bargains, but sadly there were hardly any Beanies out there! The only Beanies I found were Doby, Silver, Liberty, and Benny from the Ty Monstaz range, but I already have them in my collection.
I also found Rainbow Dash from the My Little Pony set of Beanie Babies, but she wasn’t in the best condition, so I left her.
However, I did find this little cutie….
This little white tiger is called Tundra and she’s so sweet! I love the expression on her face as she almost looks a little confused about something!
This is the first version of Tundra, as there was another tiger called Tundra released in 2014 with glittery eyes that looks very similar to a Beanie Boo, but with smaller eyes.
She has a slightly coarse texture to her fur that has a slight shine to it in the light. Her body is covered in beautiful black stripes from head to toe, with the exception of her belly and muzzle.
Tundra’s Birthday is on 4th September 2005 and her poem reads:
So quiet you won’t hear a sound As I stalk and prowl around Watch out or I’ll give you a scare When I jump out and say, “Hi there”!
All in all, this weekend was a partial success. Although I’ve had other days where I’ve managed to find loads of bargains, this weekend I only managed to find one. However, the bargain I did find, I’m really happy with, especially for £1.50! I bought her from a Cancer Research UK charity shop, so the money will also go to a good cause.
What do you think of Tundra? Have you found any bargains this weekend? Leave a comment below!
Recently, I managed to get hold of Fuzzy and Feathers, the two Easter Beanie Boos for 2021! I must say I’ve changed my mind a little!
On a previous post, I said that Fuzzy was very similar to Slippers, last year’s Easter bunny and I wasn’t sure about her. She is very similar, BUT I really really like her! I love her colour and I think she’s just adorable!
Feathers is also the perfect match for Lemon Drop, last year’s Easter chick and is sooo fluffy and cute!
Both Fuzzy and Feather’s also make a great match, don’t you think?
The picture doesn’t do them justice as they look far better in real life.
I also picked up a bargain last weekend as Poundland (in the UK) had all of the smaller size Squish a Boos in stock for £5 each! So I picked up Bloomy and Popper!
These two are the new Easter Squish a Boos for this year, so I had to grab them while they were so cheep (oh dear…bad joke alert).
Here they are pictured next to Dotty, my larger sized Squish a Boo.
Aren’t they cute?! They are sooo squishy, and make great Easter decorations!
What do you think of Fuzzy, Feathers, Bloomy and Popper? Leave a comment below!
Hope you all have a very Happy Easter and stay safe!
It’s actually been snowing here! Not enough to settle on the ground, but it’s so cold!
Today, I’ve been busy adding more Beanies to the site. I’ve managed to get some more in, but apologies if I’ve missed anyone’s Beanie requests as there have just been so many!
I’ve also been doing a bit of filming for my next Vlogmas video on Youtube which is going to be released later!
Today, I have decided to review a Beanie Baby who arrived yesterday who I am just finding too cute not to write about!
Zero was released back in 1998, so he’s actually 22 years old now! I can’t get over how cute this little guy is with his little red Santa hat! It actually matches my own…
Zero’s Birthday is on 2nd January 1998 and his poem reads as follows:
Penguins love the ice and snow Playing in weather twenty below Antarctica is where I love to be Splashing in the cold, cold sea!
As seen in my Vlogmas videos, I have been trying to make the house more festive and I recently made a Beanie Winter Wonderland scene under the Christmas tree. I have actually given Zero a little place in this scene and think he looks quite at home now!
Have you got Zero in your collection? Leave a comment below!
As promised earlier this week, I am now going to review another recent Beanie Baby I purchased…Stripes!
Stripes is an adorable white zebra with airbrushed black stripes. He has large, glittery blue button eyes that really stand out from his white fur! His eyes could almost be mistaken for those of a Beanie Boo, but Stripes is from the Beanie Babies range.
His fuzzy mane and the tip of his tail are both white with subtle hints of black mixed in. His muzzle, inner ears and hooves are all pale grey and he has black stitching for his mouth and nostrils.
Stripes has the given Birthday of 17th January and his poem reads as follows:
My stripes help me to hide from danger I run and hide when I see a stranger!
As you can see from his tush tag, Stripes is made from the trademarked VelveTy material which is very soft to the touch. It also has a subtle sheen to it which catches the light.
My final thoughts on Stripes are that he is incredibly cute and he has the most gorgeous eyes! I definitely think it was the right decision to go with the blue, glittery eyes. I am so glad to have this little guy in my collection now as I had been meaning to get him for ages!
What do you think of Stripes? Do you have him in your collection?
Last weekend, I went for a lovely family day out, but came back with a couple of new additions to my collection!
This time it was the small version of the Ty Flippables, Sterling the leopard (who I am going to review today) and the Beanie Baby, Stripes the zebra (who I will be reviewing shortly).
Sterling, as you know, is from the Ty Flippables line, which are essentially Beanie Boos but covered in reversible sequins. Initially, I wasn’t so sure about this range, especially since the sequins on the first dinosaur Flippables (Tremor, Crunch and Stompy) seem to have a few problems flipping and getting caught at weird angles, making them look a bit messy.
But Sterling doesn’t seem to have this problem quite so badly (unless I just got lucky with this one, in which case, I apologise in advance!).
Sterling’s sequins alternate from a bright gold colour to a sparkly silver when you run your hands over them which is strangely satisfying.
Here is Sterling in his silver colour scheme from the front…
…and from the back…
Isn’t he so sparkly?!
Inside Sterling’s swing tag, he has the given Birthday of 21st May and his poem reads as follows:
Leopards are glamorous! I’m no exception to the rule In sunlight, I shimmer and shine like the finest of jewels!
My final thoughts on Sterling are that he is a really pretty Flippables addition. Like the line in his poem “In sunlight, I shimmer and shine like the finest of jewels”, he really does shimmer in sunlight quite brightly and he really is a lovely addition to my collection.
I hope you have enjoyed this review and this has given you a good idea of what Sterling looks like in reality.
Do you have this adorable little leopard? If so, add him to your collection in the “My Beanies” area!
Leave a comment below with your thoughts on this little guy!
Eeek! I’ve been really excited all week for this delivery to turn up!
Because of the current situation, Royal Mail in the UK have been understandably a bit delayed, so it was a few days later than it would normally have been, but he’s finally here!
Tremor (not this one pictured) recently took a trip into Space aboard the SpaceX ship Crew Dragon with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.
This little apatosaurus has taken a trip to my door and I couldn’t be happier!
Tremor was one of the original three Flippables released, the other two being Crunch and Stompy. He was released in both small and medium sizes.
This is a review of the the small version of Tremor.
Tremor is covered in reversible sequins everywhere except for his pink belly, which features a shiny scale pattern. His sequins alternate between blue and pink when you run your hands over them.
Although this is a really cool idea, it doesn’t work quite as smoothly as you’d like it to. However, I do love how sparkly he is.
His swing tag features the Flippables logo on the front and is attached to his left side.
Inside the tag is his birth date, which is on 5th September and his poem which reads:
I only want Big leaves to eat They’re always sweet Such a tasty treat!
Now Tremor can join Crunch in my collection. Now I just need Stompy to complete the original three Flippables!
I’ve lost count how many weeks we’ve been in lockdown now. The only problem with being at home is that I keep coming across new additions to my collection!
One of my latest additions that has just arrived is a UK exclusive Beanie Baby called Mystery.
Mystery is a turquoise Loch Ness Monster that was exclusive to the UK. She has little black button eyes and a white belly. On her side is the Scottish flag, embroidered in blue with a white cross.
Mystery was only ever available with a UK 13th generation hang tag. These were slightly different than a 13th generation USA tag in that they only say “ORIGINAL BEANIES” instead of “ORIGINAL BEANIE BABIES”. However, both tags featured the holographic star to the left of the lettering.
Inside Mystery’s hang tag, her Birthday is on 22nd June 2004 and her poem reads as follows:
My size and shape a secret so old Generations of tales greatly told Any ripples or shadows you see Just think aloud that it could be me!
I’ve been wanting this Beanie Baby for a little while now, so I’m glad to finally have her in my collection!
Here’s she is pictured from another angle. Isn’t she adorable?!
There are two other Loch Ness Monster Beanie Babies similar in appearance to Mystery. There are two versions of NESS-e (pictured below right), a retail version and an Inverness Centre exclusive version (there were also key clips of both versions of NESS-e) and Enigma (below left), another Inverness Centre exclusive.
Have you spotted any of these cute little Loch Ness Monsters before? Do you have them in your collection?
