It’s Friday!

Friday, September 25th, 2020

Hi everyone!

It’s that time of the week again! You guessed it…it’s Friday!

This week has been a mad one, but I’ve managed to get some more Beanies on to the database. I’ve mainly been focusing on email requests that I’ve received to add certain Beanies on to the site – if you have emailed me and I haven’t replied, I’m really sorry! I will try to get round to you, but I get so many emails!

The website is now nearing 3,000 Beanies on the database! That includes all Ty products, such as Beanie Babies, Beanie Boos, Flippables, etc.

The only problem with adding Beanies on to the site is that I’ve seen so many that I would like to get! There have been Beanie Babies from my childhood (I started collecting in the 90’s at the height of Beanie mania) and some newer ones that I have never even seen before!

Today, I came across this little guy and I think he’s going to be one of the next ones I want to add to me collection.

Meet Wiggy.

Wiggy is a cute sea lion with the ultra soft VelveTy fur! He looks a little like a Beanie Boo, but is actually part of the Beanie Babies collection.

His poem reads as follows:

On the pier I like to lay
Under the sun, I sleep all day!

Others that I have come across this week, via requests or just through searching are Opie (who I haven’t seen before but absolutely adore!), Seamore (for nostalgia purposes!) and Richie (a cute little beaver with buck teeth!)

Beanie Baby Birthday – Happy Birthday Koowee!

Thursday, September 24th, 2020

 

Hi everyone!

Today is 24th September, which means…it’s Koowee’s Birthday!

Koowee is a fuzzy grey koala bear with adorable fluffy white ears. He has the characteristic large, oval koala nose and little grey paws clasped together.

Koowee was an Australian/New Zealand exclusive Beanie Baby released back in July 2004. His poem reads as follows:

Eating Gum leaves, sleeping in trees
Relaxing in the Aussie Breeze
Watching as the branches sway
That’s how I like to spend my day!

Couldn’t you just cuddle this little cutie?!

Happy Birthday little guy!

The My Beanies area is now fixed!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a good day!

A couple of people contacted me to let me know that if you have more than one page of Beanies in the “My Beanies” area of the website that you couldn’t access past the first page, meaning you couldn’t see all the Beanies in your collection. I just wanted to let you know that this issue is now solved!

If you have any further problems, please let me know!

Beanie News Recap

Wednesday, September 16th, 2020

Hi everyone!

I thought I’d do a bit of a recap on what’s been going on recently in the Beanie world!

Beanie Masks

I know these have been out for a while, but I wanted to cover them.

Ty have recently released a range of Beanie Boo masks! There are nine characters to collect, each representing a Beanie Boo.

The current designs are Kiki, Fantasia, Dotty, Slush, Giselle, Dangler, Owen, Bamboo and Coconut.

The masks are re-usable and have adjustable ear loops and a flexible nose bridge.

Halloween Beanie Boos

Now it’s September, it’s not long until Halloween!

Ty released these three awesome Halloween Beanie Boos for 2020. Let’s face it, we all need some new Boos to cheer us up with all that’s going on!

Their names (from left to right) are Radar, Pandora and Spike!

Winter Beanie Boos

As well as the Halloween Boos, this year’s Christmas Beanie Boos have also been announced!

From left to right, their names are Snowfall, Cheer, Chimney and Howlidays. Aren’t they all so cute?!

The Legoland Beanie Boo, Widget!

Finally, there was an unexpected Legoland exclusive, called Widget! He is supposedly some kind of Lego dog.

Interestingly he didn’t have the usual Beanie Boo eyes, which I’m not too sure about to be honest. But I suppose he’s kind of cute, in a weird way?

Hope you enjoy this news round-up!

McDonald’s Teenie Beanie Boos in Germany!

Friday, September 11th, 2020

For those of you in Germany, you might want to check out your local McDonald’s as they are giving away Teenie Beanie Boos with every Happy Meal!

There are ten Teenie Beanie Boos to collect, all brand new designs!

Here they are pictured below:

1. Sage

Sage is a green deer-like “thing” with fluffy yellow hair. He has silver antlers and big, yellow eyes.

Sage reminds me of some kind of “Spirit of the Woods”. I think he might be my favourite of this new collection.

2. Levi

Levi is a purple dragon with pink eyes and sparkly purple “ears”. She has tiny purple wings and a pink-purple belly.

3. Lionel

Lionel is a white lion with ice-blue eyes and a fluffy white mane. Although they do exist naturally, they are quite rare.

4. Neptune

Neptune looks to be some sort of blue ice dragon creature. He has blue eyes and sparkly blue ears.

5. Wulong

I’m not entirely sure what Wulong is. Some sort of horse…err…dragon…umm…thing? Does anyone else have any ideas what he might be? Pop it in the comments below!

6. Mino

Mino is a small, brown bull, who I’m guessing is supposed to be based on the Minotaur from Greek Mythology. He has yellow eyes and large, sparkly horns on top of his head.

7. Winter

Winter is a blue-grey, wyvern. He has green eyes and a white belly. Wyverns are a dragon-like creatures with two back legs and two, winged arms that are folded back when not in flight, or so the stories say.

8. Phoebe

Phoebe is a red bird with yellow eyes and a tuft of orange fur on top of her head. She has orange wings and an orange belly. My guess is that she is supposed to be a Phoenix, just based on the theme of Mythological creatures that seems to be going on here. That, and I think her name gives it away a bit too.

9. Blake

Blake is a dark blue dragon with green eyes and ice blue wings. I’m not sure why, but Blake the “Drake” (the name for your average quadruped dragon) looks a little like a blue Toothless to me.

10. Weiss

Weiss is a white tiger with blue eyes and tufts on blue fur either side of her face. She has black striped on top of her head and black ears. I’m not sure why, but Weiss seems a bit like the odd one out to me. Although there are Chinese Mythological tales surrounding the white tiger, they do exist in real life. But then I suppose the same could be said for Lionel, as white lions also exist in nature.

What do you think of the new Teenie Beanie Boos? And if you’re in Germany at the moment, have fun collecting these little cuties!

Halloween Beanie Boos for 2020!

Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

I can’t believe it’s September already! And you know what that means? It’s nearly that time of year again! By that, I mean Halloween!

This year has been a difficult one, so I know we probably won’t be celebrating as we normally would. But Ty has some new Beanie Boos in store for us all to cheer us all up a bit!

Firstly, we have Spike!

This little ghost is here to make your Halloween ultra-spooky! He’s really adorable though and not that scary.

Next up, is Radar!

Radar has a very round, hairy body and a spotty pattern for his wings and inner ears. He is not to be confused with the 1995 Beanie Baby, also called Radar.

And finally we have my favourite of the new Halloween Beanie Boos…

Pandora the cat!

Pandora is covered in a moon pattern and wears an adorable, sparkly Witch’s hat.

“Witch” is your favourite new Halloween Beanie Boo?! Let us know below!

Another Prayer Bear?

Thursday, August 20th, 2020

Hi everyone!

One of our members pointed out that they have found another praying bear Beanie Boo on the Ty Calendar!

This bear is called Blessing, and looks identical to the pink nose version of Hope, another prayer bear that was released to raise funds in the fight against Covid-19.

Her Birthday appears to be on 7th May, and i’m not yet sure if this will be a replacement for the pink nose Hope, or a completely different bear!

The poem that is given on the Ty website for Blessing reads as follows:

Ask for a blessing, and you will receive
Close your eyes, say a prayer, and just believe

If anyone has any further information on this bear, please let us know in the comments below!

Today is International Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Monday, August 17th, 2020

As the title says, today is International Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Funnily enough, I’ve literally just put Heiress, the gorgeous fluffy black cat Beanie Baby from 2004, into the database! Here she is pictured below:

Isn’t she pretty?!

Other favourite black cat Beanie Babies of mine include Fraidy, the Halloween cat (pictured below), Cabaret the fluffy tuxedo cat, Zip the black and white cat (who was all-black in an earlier release) and Frightful the Witch Cat.

For the Beanie Boos, Jinxy (pictured below) is one of my favourite black cats. Others include Potion, Witchie and Shadow. As you can see, most black cats in the Beanie Boos range are Halloween-themed.

Do you own a black cat? Or should I say, does a black cat own you?! Or perhaps you have a favourite black cat Beanie? Leave a comment below!

Beanie news roundup

Tuesday, August 11th, 2020

Hi everyone!

Apologies for the site being a bit quiet recently. Things have been pretty hectic at home and I haven’t had time up until now to update the site as much as I would have liked to.

Anyway, I’m back! If you have sent any messages recently, I will do my best to reply to you all. However, I have received a lot of messages to catch up on so it might take a while!

So what’s been going on in the world of Ty?

Well it turns out Faye, the pink fox Beanie Boo has a horn!

The stock images of Faye originally showed her without a horn, but in reality she does in fact have a glittery gold horn!

Talking about horns, it also appears that the Giselle Squish a Boo has a golden horn too! I did think it was a bit odd how the Beanie Boo version of Giselle had a horn but it didn’t look like the Squish a Boo version had one. But it turns out she does too!

giselle squish a booAlso, some great news! Tremor has landed back to earth! Tremor went up to space initially as part of the SpaceX launch to indicate to the astronauts when they had reached zero gravity (the story about Tremor’s expedition to space can be found here).

tremor returns home from spacex expeditionThere are also a few new Halloween and Winter Beanie Boos and Puffies that have been announced which I will go into more detail about soon, so stay tuned!

I hope everyone is well and I look forward to posting further updates!

Happy collecting!
