Beanie Boo Review – Zappy the Platypus

Monday, January 27th, 2020

Yesterday, I went into town to do some shopping and came home with an unexpected bargain from Poundland! For those in the USA who follow my website, Poundland is a nationwide discount store in the UK that sells things from £1 up to about £5. They are literally in every town and city in the UK that you come across.

Anyway, I just happened to notice that they had a selection of Beanie Boos in store! The Beanie Boos in stock at the time were Icy, Asha, Orson, Aqua, Nori, Zappy and Cinnamon. They also had Aqua and Icy in the medium size and various Ty Gear. I decided to buy Zappy the Platypus as I didn’t have him in my collection yet.

Zappy was released in 2019 in both the small and medium sizes of Beanie Boo. He is a purple, pink, blue and white platypus with a fluffy body except for his lavender coloured belly, which is made from the smoother Ty Silk material. His eyes (shown below) are glittery purple and slightly smaller than that of most Beanie Boos. His flippers and bill are made from sparkly turquoise fabric, covered in glitter.

He has a 4th generation Beanie Boo swing tag with the red background and yellow “Beanie Boos” logo and “Ty” written in white. Earlier Beanie Boos had a purple swing tag with a yellow “Ty” logo and “Beanie Boos” written in a pale blue font.

Written inside right of his swing tag is his name, Birthday, which is on 15th September, and a poem. The poem reads as follows:

I’m a platypus who likes to swim
So I’ll never, never need a gym!

The Zappy I bought has the version of the two-tag C1 tush tag that was distributed in the UK (with the Portsmouth address stuck over the front of the USA Oakbrook, IL address).

My overall impression of Zappy is that I just adore the colour of his fur! I think the combination of purples, blues and pinks really compliment each other well (I may be a bit biased as I just LOVE purple!). I think he makes a brilliant addition to the Beanie Boos range (and to my personal collection).

For the information of those in the UK, the price on the shelf for Zappy was £3, which I thought was a pretty good deal. However, when I went to the checkout, he was actually priced at £2! Even better!

What do you think of Zappy?

New Flippables for 2019!

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019

I have come across these brand new Ty Flippables for 2019!

The first of these appears to be a version of the Dangler Beanie Boo, but instead is covered in brown sequins that flip to a gold colour. The Dangler Flippable has large, gold glitter eyes just like his Beanie Boo counterpart.
Dangler the Sloth Flippable Beanie BooNext up, there’s a rainbow coloured Flippable called Calypso the Narwhal. His brightly coloured reversible sequins are all sorts of different colours and he has a sparkly gold horn. He seems to be based on Nori the Narwhal, especially with the rainbow colouring.

I have also seen this cat Flippable floating around called Whimsy. She has silver coloured flippable sequins that change to a pearly iridescent colour when you stroke them. She looks so cute!

Whimsy the Cat Flippable Beanie BooI also found a picture of this cute little seal Flippable called Waves. He’s a kind of pearly turquoise colour, but I’m not really sure what colour his sequins are when they’re flipped.

There’s also a new Pixy the Unicorn Flippable. She is just like the Beanie Boo version of Pixy, only she is covered in flippable pearly white sequins that flip to a kind of pink colour. Her glitter eyes are also rainbow coloured.

Pixy the Unicorn Flippable Beanie BooThere is another unicorn called Sunset that is an orange-pink, almost salmon coloured “sunset” colour. She has a glittery gold horn and a fluffy pink mane.

Finally, I’ve also seen Slush the Husky in a Flippable form. He looks a lot like the Slush Beanie Boo, only his fur has been transformed into flippable sequins that alternate between blue and silver.

Have you come across any of these new Beanie Boos? If you have any information on them, please let me know!

Another new Beanie Boo spotted!

Thursday, January 17th, 2019

This little unicorn rabbit is called Begonia!

She is a brand new Beanie Boo and appears to be one of the animals that magically grew a horn, like Heather the Cat, Enchanted the Owl and Ramsey the Lion.

Her Birthday is on 6th April and her tag reads:

I was a bunny when I was born
but then I grew a shiny horn
I still can run and hop and play
It never ever gets in my way.

I think she’s adorable and I hope Ty release more unicorn animals!

Have you got Begonia yet?

We’ve had snow!

Tuesday, January 15th, 2019

Today we had a bit of unexpected snowfall. Here’s Scorch demonstrating…

We’ve had nowhere near the amount of snow as some other parts of Europe have had though. To those of you who are in the middle of it all, I hope you are all well, and most importantly, stay safe.

It’s been a bit of a slow day here today, so I’ve spent some time updating the site. If you are on a page with a particular type of Beanie, for example a bear, and you want to see only bears, you are now able to filter all the bear Beanies that are currently on the site. The same can also be done for the release year and colour.

I have also added all of the available Flippables, so you can now add them to your collection. If I’ve missed any, please let me know!

Here’s hoping this snow finally ends!

Cherie is a real Beanie Boo!

Sunday, January 13th, 2019

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a great weekend!

I’ve had a couple of people contact me to say that they have spotted Cherie in stores in the USA, so she is a real new release for Valentine’s Day!

I’m not sure if she’s available outside the USA yet, but I’ll keep a lookout for her!

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who contacted me about Cherie, it really means a lot when people get involved with the website and help out with information.

Have you spotted Cherie yet?

New Beanie Boo Released? Or is it?

Thursday, January 10th, 2019

I’ve come across this little unicorn, apparently called Cherie, on the internet. Could this be a new Beanie Boo?

I’m not prepared to add it to the site yet as I have yet to confirm if it’s real or fake.

I’ve seen one unboxing video, but it doesn’t include a hang tag in the video so it could be a fake. It was also on an ended eBay listing, which looks like it was sent from China, so again I’m a little suspicious. The only other place I’ve seen it is on Aliexpress, again a dubious source.

The sources I’ve found it claim it to be a 2019 Valentine’s Day Beanie Boo, but until I get some more information I’d treat it with caution for now.

Can anyone provide any more information on this Beanie Boo?

Latest Beanie Boo Teaser

Sunday, January 6th, 2019


Ty have posted this picture on their Facebook page just to tease us!

Apparently there are going to be some new releases coming soon! I can’t wait to see what they have in store!

There are some speculations around on the internet, and I possibly have a clue what the Beanie Boo in the picture will turn out to be. I won’t spoil the surprise, but all I can say is that if it is what I think it is, I HAVE to have it in my collection!

Can you guess what Ty has up their sleeves?
