I couldn’t bring myself to bounce this Beanie Bouncer though, I’d be totally afraid of ruining him!

He is also available at The Magical Gift Boutique for pre-order! I also have him on pre-order so I’ll post up some pictures of him when he arrives here!

Where can I buy the new 2025 Peter Rabbit Beanie Baby and Beanie Bouncer from?

Charity Shop Haul – Plus Bongo Brown Tail Beanie Find!

Friday, October 10th, 2025

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my latest charity shop haul!

I was scouring through a charity shop that I visited recently, and spotted a basket with a few Beanie Babies on one of the shelves.

First I picked up Bongo, but as it was the common “tan tail” version that I already own, I put him back. Then, I spotted another Bongo, so I turned him over and discovered he was the “brown tail” variant.

Bongo Monkey Brown Tail Ty Beanie Baby 2nd Generation Tush Tag

Sure, he isn’t in 100% mint condition, needs a small amount of spot-cleaning and unfortunately is missing a hang tag, but for £2.50 I couldn’t pass him up!

Here is a view of the back of him…

Bongo Monkey Brown Tail 2nd Generation Tush Tag

Isn’t he awesome?! But that’s not all…

I turned him over to get a better look at his tush tag, and discovered that he in fact has a 2nd Generation tush tag!

Bongo Monkey Brown Tail 2nd Generation Tush Tag

Sadly, it’s not in great shape and is heavily faded, but still a pretty cool find for a charity shop!

I also picked up a couple of other common Beanie Babies, Sherwood (tagged) and Almond (untagged).

Beanie Baby Charity Shop Haul

I never usually find anything apart from common Beanie Babies in charity shops, so finding a “brown tail”, 2nd generation tush tag Bongo, albeit not in the best condition, was pretty cool!

Have you had any lucky thrifting finds? What were they? Leave a comment below!

My Vinted Beanie Baby Find…Canyon the Cougar!

Friday, October 3rd, 2025

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!

Canyon Beanie Baby 1998

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…

Canyon Beanie Baby 5th Generation Hang Tag

and here is his 6th generation tush tag…

Canyon Beanie Baby 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!

Canyon Beanie Baby Inside Hang Tag

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…

Canyon Beanie Baby 1998

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

The Bluey Beanie Babies Set – Plus Extra Beanie!

Monday, February 3rd, 2025

Bluey, Bingo, Mum (Chilli), Dad (Bandit) Blue Heeler Dog Ty Beanie Baby Set

The links below are affiliate links. If you purchase something by clicking through one of the links below, we may receive a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything additional and helps to fund this site.

Hi everyone! I managed to buy the whole Bluey Beanie Baby set from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My daughter is a huge Bluey fan, so I couldn’t resist picking these up!

Let’s take a look at them in a little more detail…

MUM!

Mum Chilli Bluey Ty Beanie Baby

Mum is mother to Bluey and Bingo in the TV series. Her real name is Chilli.

She is an orange “Blue Heeler” dog with a brown patch over her right eye. I love how she is starting to get white hairs on her face. Having two daughters myself, the white hairs are TOTALLY understandable!

Mum is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

DAD!

Dad Bandit Bluey Ty Beanie Baby

Dad is Bluey’s father, also known as Bandit.

He is blue, like Bluey, with dark blue over his eyes, almost like a mask (which is probably why he is named “Bandit”). He also has white hairs appearing on his face.

Dad is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

BINGO!

Bingo Bluey Ty Beanie Baby

Bingo is Bluey’s little sister in the TV series.

She is orange like her Mum, with a pale yellow belly and darker orange patches on her face.

Bingo is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

And finally….

BLUEY!

Bluey Ty Beanie Baby

Bluey is the main character from the TV series.

She is an energetic Blue Heeler dog and is a pale blue colour, like her Dad. She has darker blue patches over her eyes and pale blue eyebrows.

Bluey is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Special offer for the full set at The Magical Gift Boutique!

Right now, there is a fantastic special offer for the full set of Bluey Beanie Babies! They are currently at £19.99 for the full set. The usual retail price for all four would be £23.96, so thats a discount of around £4!

GET THE FULL SET HERE!

The Bluey Beanie Babies are really popular so be sure to get them before they go!

I also have one more Beanie to show you…

Beanie Bouncer – Sammy!

Sammy Siamese Cat Ty Beanie Bouncer

I also ordered the Sammy Beanie Bouncer from The Magical Gift Boutique along with the Bluey set!

I’d been meaning to buy one of the Beanie Bouncers for a while, but hadn’t got around to it until now.

Sammy is a Siamese cat Beanie Bouncer with a round, cream coloured body and a chocolate brown face. Her blue eyes are beautiful and go with the chocolate brown of her face.

Sammy Siamese Cat Ty Beanie Bouncer

The Beanie Bouncers range don’t have hang tags. Instead, they have the name of the Beanie Bouncer and their birth date on their tush tag.

The other side has the barcode that would have normally been on a hang tag.

Sammy’s Birthday is on 27th August.

Sammy Siamese Cat Ty Beanie Bouncer Tush Tag

Sammy is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My thoughts on the Bluey Beanie Baby Set (Plus Sammy Beanie Bouncer!)…

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Bluey Beanies were a very good likeness to the actual characters from the TV series.

They are also much softer than I thought they would be and very squishy. They are definitely a must for Bluey fans and Beanie Baby collectors alike!

Sammy is also awesome! I wasn’t sure about the Beanie Bouncers range, but they are really fun to bounce! The only thing I am concerned about is getting it dirty, so you would  have to make the decision whether you want to keep it as a collectible or to use it how it was intended and have lots of fun!

The Top Rarest Beanie Babies in the World!

Tuesday, June 25th, 2024

If you’re a collector, one of the most important questions you’ll probably want to know the answer to is, “What are the rarest Beanie Babies?”.

Various claims (and a LOT of misinformation) are all over the internet about which Beanie Babies are rare. But what is the TRUTH? Let’s take a look below.

Chef Robuchon

Chef Robuchon Rarest Beanie Babies

 

A select group of guests received the Chef Robuchon bear at the opening of L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York.

The guests also received a red invitation card with the bear to attend the private function before the grand opening of the restaurant.

Inside the menu in the bear’s paws is Chef Robuchon’s Potato Puree recipe.

Only 200 bears were ever produced, making him undoubtedly one of the top rarest Beanie Babies!

#1 Bear

#1 Number 1 Rare Beanie Baby

The bright red #1 Bear is also considered one of the top rare Beanie Babies! It was handed out as a gift to Ty sales representatives on 12th December 1998.

Additionally, each special edition bear was signed and numbered with only 253 ever produced!

The bear was given out in appreciation for the sale of several billion dollars of Beanie Babies in 1998.

With such a limited amount of bears and each one numbered and signed, the #1 Bear is incredibly rare!

Peanut the Elephant (Royal Blue)

Peanut the Elephant Royal Blue Rare Beanie Baby

Peanut is a Beanie Baby that has been subject to a lot of misinformation.

I think this has come from the fact that there are two colour variations of Peanut, this Royal Blue version and a light blue version. However, there is also some confusion surrounding the poem on the Royal Blue Peanut Beanie Buddy, which reads as follows:

“Peanut the BEANIE BABY
made in this royal blue color
is extremely rare and very valuable!”

Consequently, this appears to cause some confusion, making people think the BEANIE BUDDY is rare and expensive.

Truthfully, the only rare version of Peanut is the Royal Blue Beanie Baby colour variation, as this was the first Peanut produced. Shortly after her release, the decision was made to change her to a light blue colour. The Royal Blue colour was quickly retired, making it one of the most valuable and sought after Beanie Babies.

Humphrey the Camel

Humphrey Camel Rare Beanie BabyHumphrey was the first officially retired Beanie Baby.

He was only available for under a year, but with around only 25,000 ever made, he is very sought after, especially authenticated with an early generation hang tag (see the Beanie Babies Hang Tag Guide for more information).

The Beanie Buddy and McDonald’s Teenie Beanie Baby versions of Humphrey are often mistakenly thought of as rare, but unfortunately these were mass-produced and can easily be picked up cheaply.

Billionaire Bears

Billionaire Bear Rare Ty Beanie Baby

Billionaire was only given to Ty employees as a “Thank You” for shipping over a billion dollars of Beanie Babies since January 1998.

There were only around 1400 ever produced, giving him a spot on this rare Beanie Baby list!

Each bear was hand signed by Ty Warner himself and started off a series of more rare Billionaire bears to follow!

The Dinosaur Trio – Bronty, Rex and Steg

The Rare Dinosaur Trio Beanie Babies - Bronty, Steg and Rex

On the wish list of most collectors are the so-called “Dinosaur Trio”!

The Dinosaur Trio consists of Bronty, Rex and Steg and are sought after by many collectors. To have all three would be an enviable position to be in!

All three dinosaurs were released at the same time in June 1995 and were retired a year later.

They all came with a 3rd generation hang tag, however, a 1st generation black and white tush tag would be the most desirable version of these little dinos!

There is a misconception that the larger Beanie Buddy and McDonald’s Teenie Beanie Baby versions are also valuable. However, only the dinosaur Beanie Babies are considered rare.

Shampoodle

Shampoodle Dog Rare Beanie BabyShampoodle technically should never have been released. There was an issue with her fur falling out so she was recalled and withdrawn before release. However, a few sneakily made their way on to the market.

Those that made their way in to circulation are considered rare because they were never officially available to the public.

Shampoodle should never be given to a child as she was a recalled item. The issue with her fur prove to be dangerous, so she should only ever be displayed.

Brownie

Brownie Bear Rare Beanie Baby

Brownie is one of the true Original Nine Beanie Babies. Those with the Brownie name were quickly retired and re-released under the name Cubbie.

Brownie is considered one of the rarest Beanies because of his quick retirement. He always has a first generation hang tag and tush tag. However, without the hang tag it is absolutely impossible to distinguish between him and a first generation Cubbie.

Punchers

Punchers Rare Beanie BabyPunchers is another true member of the Original Nine. He was quickly retired as Punchers and re-introduced as Pinchers. Those with a Punchers hang tag are considered one of the rarest Beanie Babies around!

Like with Brownie/Cubbie, it would be impossible to know whether you have a first generation Punchers or a first generation Pinchers without the hang tag.

Spot the Dog (without Spot)

Spot Dog Without Spot Beanie BabyAnother member of the true Original Nine is Spot. Curiously, Spot was first released without a spot. However, he was quickly retired and re-released including the missing black spot on his back.

The very first spotless version is the rarest version of Spot and features a 1st generation hang tag and either a 1st or 2nd generation tush tag, the 1st generation tush tags being the most valuable.

Beanie Babies with 1st Generation Hang Tags

First Generation Beanie Babies Hang TagBeanie Babies with a 1st generation hang tag (see Hang Tag Guide for more info) are always going to be valuable.

Just make sure they are genuine.

Beanie Babies with a Pre-1st Generation UK Hang Tag

Pre-1st Generation UK Black and White Hang Tag

This is the rarest type of hang tag known in existence!

These pre-1st generation hang tags were only available on UK first generation Original Nine Beanie Babies before they were switched to the official 1st generation hang tags.

If you own a Beanie Baby with one of these ultra-rare hang tags on it, you are, indeed, a very lucky person.

There are probably only a handful, maybe even a couple, of Beanies of each type with this hang tag still attached as most were removed or replaced before they were shipped out.

They are hardly EVER seen.

Hopefully you have enjoyed this list of rare Beanie Babies. Do you own any of those above? Who is on your wish list? Leave a comment below!

The Next Three Original Beanie Baby leaks!

Thursday, June 13th, 2024

New Original Beanie Baby leaks, Gus Penguin, Hudson Moose and Savvy Fox

Hi everyone! Have you heard about the next three new Beanie Baby leaks for the new “Original” Beanie Babies range?

All I know so far are their names, and I’m still awaiting images and more information on them, but I’m so excited to see these next three!

So far, what I do know is that their names will be Gus, Hudson and Savvy!

Gus Penguin

What I know so far is that Gus will be a penguin. I’m hoping that he will have a look akin to Waddle, but it will be exciting to see how he will turn out!

Hudson Moose

Hudson is going to be a new moose addition to the Beanie Babies range.

I get the feeling that he will probably be similar in appearance to Chocolate, at least I’m hoping so!

I’m hoping for a crazy colour combination, but I’ve seen a promo poster with a “Chocolate-like” moose, so he will probably be more of a natural colour palette.

Savvy Fox

Savvy is a complete unknown too. I’m kind of hoping that she will be an updated Sly, but maybe Ty have “outfoxed” me completely on this one!

Sorry, bad joke.

I’m interested to see how Savvy will turn out though. Whether she will have “natural” colours, or wacky colours. I’m hoping for the latter, but either will be wonderful!

My thoughts on the new Beanie Baby leaks…

I am loving the sound of these new Beanie Babies and would really like some more wacky colour combinations as they are my favourite. However, I get the feeling that Hudson will be more like Chocolate, which would also be awesome.

I can’t wait to add their pages to Beaniepedia, but I don’t have enough information just yet to create a page for them. Hopefully, that will change shortly.

I’m so excited to see how this set of three will turn out, so stay tuned for updates!

Kodi the Beanie Baby Bear!

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby

Hi everyone! It was my Birthday yesterday and I was given the most fantastic present…a Kodi the bear Beanie Baby!

I am so besotted with him! He has the sweetest little face with gorgeous, sparkly orange-gold eyes, which are large but not quite as large as that of a Beanie Boo.

He also has the most adorable smile in the world!

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby

Who wouldn’t be cheered up by that little face?!

His fur is very soft, and an almost-black colour with hints of dark brown mixed in. I love his beige muzzle and inner ears against the dark of his fur, and his little beige paws.

Kodi the Bear Face

I think that Kodi is meant to be an Alaskan Kodiak Bear, just based on his name. Although, I’d say he has more of the colouration of an American Black Bear over that of a Kodiak Bear.

Kodi’s Hang Tag

He has a 19th generation Beanie Babies hang tag, but interestingly even though we are away in Europe right now (Bulgaria), he has the USA variation of this hang tag.

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby Hang Tag

Kodi’s Birthday is on 7th February and his poem reads as follows:

When I scratch my back it is something to see
I’ll stand up and rub it against a tall tree!

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby Hang Tag

There are not many places that sell Beanie Babies in Bulgaria, for instance, near us there is only one bookshop that stocks them. But, when they do sell them, they seem to put an import sticker on the hang tag over here, like the one on Kodi’s tag below…

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby Bulgarian Import Sticker Hang Tag

Luckily, they haven’t put it over the actual poem this time (believe me this has been done before…), and it was stuck on the additional “Important Information” hang tags instead.

My thoughts on the Kodi Beanie Baby…

Kodi the Bear

Kodi is possibly one of my favourite “Beanie Boo-style” Beanie Babies and not just because he was given to me as a Birthday present! I’ve wanted him for so long, but just never got round to buying him for whatever reason.

He has the sweetest face and his fur is such a beautiful, luxurious colour.

Kodi is also available as a Ty Classic, which I don’t have yet, so one day I may have to get him a big brother!
