Sorry its been a while since my last post. Christmas and New Year have taken up a lot of my time with visiting family and then I caught a cold (thankfully not Covid) when I got home and had to take some much needed rest.
So what’s been going on recently in the Beanie world…
Well actually, a LOT!
The new design of Beanie Babies have been released and Ty has announced that they are called Beanie Bellies! It’s a little confusing as they still have a Beanie Babies hang tag, but maybe they will get their own hang tag one day.
There’s some more good news too. According to the Ty Calendar, it looks like we are going to get more Beanie Bellies!
Three that stand out are Mitch the otter, Ruggles the dog, and Thunder the husky (pictured below).
Aren’t they adorable?!
I’m still waiting for the Beanie Bellies to arrive in the UK (you guys in the USA are so lucky!), but from the pictures I’ve seen, I’m as excited for this range as I was for Beanie Boos!
There have also been loads of Beanie Boos announced (I’ll list them all in another post shortly). One that has caught my eye is Becca. She appears to be a “girlfriend” for Binky!
She is very much like Binky but is made from pink and purple fabrics in place of the brown colour palette that Binky has.
There are also going to be more Squish a Boos and Ty Puffies coming this year and they all look so cute!
I won’t go into the full details of them just yet (again, I will list them fully in another post), but my favourite of all these is Nessa.
Nessa is a brightly coloured caterpillar who is too cute for words!
Looking at the calendar, she will be available in a medium and large size. So far there doesn’t appear to be a small size, but who knows in the future!
What do you think of the new Beanie Bellies range? Are you excited for the new range of Beanie Boos, Puffies and Squish a Boos? Leave a comment below!
Just a heads up that McDonald’s (in the UK at least) are now running a Teenie Beanie Boo promotion!
I wasn’t even aware of this promotion and only came across it after ordering a Happy Meal for my daughter. I couldn’t believe my luck when I opened up the box and spotted the Ty heart on the smaller box inside!
Inside was a cute little white seal wearing a red hat, covered in a white fish pattern. She has embroidered, green eyes instead of plastic eyes like previous Teenie Beanie Boos. This is because McDonald’s in the UK have stopped making plastic Happy Meal toys. This may explain why the previous promotion never arrived in the UK.
This cute little seal is called Sally. Her Birthday is on October 5th and her poem reads as follows:
In the month of December, you’ll hear me squeal. It’s almost Christmas, I’m one happy Seal!
So far, I’m only aware of the five Teenie Beanie Boos in the top picture and Sally the seal. If anybody has any further information, please comment below!
From the stock images, the small size of Squish a Boos appear to have solid, glittery button eyes instead of the faux leather/fabric eyes of the larger Squish a Boos.
I’ve spent today updating the Squish a Boos section of the website to include the new designs and have changed the size description in their names accordingly, so that they are now described as small, medium and large size Squish a Boos. I have also added any Squish a Boos that I had left out. Please let me know if I’ve missed any out.
Do you have any of the small Squish a Boos in your collection?
I would like to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to all my Beanie friends who are celebrating today!
I’m thankful for everyone for taking the time to get involved on the website. It means the world to me that people find the site useful and I hope it continues to be a resource for tracking your Beanie collection.
Pictured above is one of my favourite Thanksgiving Beanies. His name is Plymouth and he carries a tiny “turkey” in his paws. How cute it that?!
Below, the Ty Store exclusive, Turk-e is celebrating Thanksgiving with Roam.
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!
It’s been so busy here lately! I’ve been trying to get in as many Beanie requests as possible as I’ve had so many! I’ve still got some more to get through, but I’ve got through quite a big portion of them. The only issue with adding Beanie requests is that I find myself seeing Beanies I absolutely ADORE and must have!
I have actually ordered a new Beanie because of one of the requests I have had through. I will reveal which Beanie when I receive her and do a full review, but she looks so cute that I can’t wait to get her!
I have got some new Halloween Beanies though. Here they are pictured below:
I managed to pick up the two new Halloween Ty Puffies, Echo and Seeds! Echo is so adorable with his little round, fluffy body and tiny fangs and Seeds is cute too!
I also got Seeds in Flippables form! I love how he looks so happy! His glittery green eyes also look great against his bright orange sequins.
Jinx also arrived! I love her gold and dark brown sequins and her odd eyes in orange and green. She also carries a sparkly pumpkin treat in her mouth.
Last but not least, I managed to get hold of Eerie! Eerie is part of the Squish a Boos range and his tiny, sparkly purple wings are too cute for words!
I’ve also got my eye on two Halloween Beanies that I really want in my collection.
I love how this little guy has his very own pet spider who he carries around on top of his head.
The second Halloween Beanie I want to get hold of is Scaredy.
Scaredy was a Halloween Beanie Baby I added recently as a request. She is actually part of the Beanie Babies 2.0 range and featured a special code to access a section of Ty’s website that used to be available where you could play games and chat. I love how she has an arched back as if she’s scared of something (hence the name, “Scaredy”).

Recently I’ve been on the hunt for Beanie bargains! One of my favourite places to go is to my local charity shops!
Up until this week, I haven’t had much luck as there have either been no Beanies to be seen or they have had ones I already own. This week however, I’ve managed to pick up a LOT!
I found a 2000 Signature Teddy in my local British Heart Foundation shop. I just LOVE the colours on this one!
He is a mottled purple and grey colour and absolutely beautiful. He wears a multicoloured mesh ribbon and features the embroidered Signature Bear heart with the year 2000 on it.
Float and Twitterbug are two new bugs to join my collection.
I love how Float has a longer pile on the fabric of her upper wings as it makes them look a little furry. I also LOVE the name “Twitterbug”! It sounds very cute (even though I know from experience cicadas are VERY noisy!).
I also found a few new kitties for my collection! Tabitha, Purr and Miles were also charity shop finds.
Sadly, Miles didn’t have a hang tag attached, but I couldn’t leave her all on her own, so she came home too!
I also found Cara from the Hallmark shop at Lakeside Shopping Outlet in the UK. There were 50% Ty products, so I also picked up Enchanted to go with her.
I picked up Derby (fluffy mane version) and Iggy (blue version without a tongue) as I didn’t have them and they were both cheap. I used to own them both, but I can’t remember what happened to them.
I also picked up some tinies. Stretchy, ‘Nook, Claude and Rocket are all McDonald’s Teenie Beanie Babies, Ozzie is a Halloweenie Beanie owl and Gypsy the St. Bernard is a Teeny Ty.
I found a Flippables Pixy the unicorn in Poundland who is absolutely beautiful! I adore her rainbow coloured glittery eyes!
Sorry things have been quiet lately. Things have been a bit hectic at home recently and I just haven’t had much spare time.
Anyway, what’s been going on in the Beanie world?
Well it turns out that the “unknown” range that I wrote about before are a brand new, redesign for the Beanie Babies range!
There are eight new Beanie Babies using the new design. Their names are Mitzi, Miso, Ying, Clawdia, Skylar, Ace, Duncan and Wilfred. My favourite of these new designs is Miso (pictured below) and I can’t wait to see what he looks like in real life!
It’s getting closer to one of my favourite times of the year….Halloween!
One of the most disappointing pieces of news is that there will be NO new Halloween Beanie Boos this year! I’m so sad about this as I LOVE the Halloween Boos!
However, there are a few new Halloween Squish a Boos, my personal favourite being Eerie the bat (pictured below). I love his little purple wings and tiny fangs! Eerie is available in both a small and large size.
The second bit of sad news is that there will also be no Christmas Beanie Boos! There will be a “Winter-themed”, icy penguin named Tony (pictured below), but no specific Holiday Boo. Tony is very cute but I would have liked some more Christmassy Boos this year to cheer us all up this year.
However, as with Halloween, there are also going to be a few Christmas Squish a Boos. There is a snowman called Flurry, who will be available in a small and large size, and a gingerbread man called Cookie (pictured below), also in small and large.
On a brighter note, the new Beanie Boos are now appearing in the USA, and will be available shortly in the UK too!
My favourite is probably Opal! A fellow Beanie friend of mine described her fur as being like cotton-candy and I totally agree with this description! I can’t wait to get her! Isn’t she just adorable?!
What do you think of the new Beanies? Are you also disappointed that there are no Halloween or Christmas Beanie Boos this year? Leave a comment below!
I am pleased to say that I have FINALLY added all of the upcoming new Beanie Babies, Beanie Boos, Puffies, Mini Boos key clips, Squish a Boos and the brand new un-named range to the database! There were a LOT to get through, but they should now be all up there, so please let me know if I’ve missed any!
The good thing is that there is now something to look forward to after a bit of a lull waiting for new Beanies! I’m so excited about the new range too!
Below is a full list of all the upcoming 2021 Beanies which will hopefully be released later in the year! (There have been other Beanie sightings, but I’m awaiting information on them before I can add them to the database).
Beanie Babies
As far as I know, there are two new Beanie Babies coming to the range. I’m really looking forward to seeing Squire (pictured below) in reality as his stock image looks so cute!
There are also twelve new Beanie Boos on the Ty Calendar, with potentially more to be released! I’ve seen other Beanie Boo designs, but I’m just awaiting more information before I can add them to the database. Noodles (pictured below) is one of the new Beanie Boos and he looks so adorable!
There are going to be four new Mini Boos key clips, with my favourite being Patsy (pictured below). I love the look of her textured “fur” and her bright pink colouring!
A whopping 38 new Squish a Boos have been announced, with 20 new designs! Zinger (pictured below) is one of the new designs and I just love this happy, little bee!
This is the brand new, unknown range that has been announced on the calendar. So far, the name of the range isn’t known and I’m not sure yet if they will have birth dates, although I suspect they will as they have a poem included on the calendar. I haven’t added the birth dates yet on the database until I can confirm they definitely have one.
Clawdia (pictured below) is one of the new range, and to me they look a little like an updated version of the retired Wild Wild Best range. Isn’t Clawdia so cute!
So that’s all the new Beanies so far. I still haven’t seen anything about any Halloween Beanie Boos, only Squish a Boos, so I’m desperately hoping that Ty do release some this year.
Also, there is some more exciting news for UK collectors…
There is an ongoing competition happening on the @tyofficial.co.uk Instagram page!
The competition is in conjunction with Paultons Park and you have the chance to win the ONLY two Peppa Pig Squish a Boos currently available, plus a family ticket of four people to visit Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World!
The Peppa Pig Squish a Boos will eventually be available from Paultons Park, but it’s aways worth a go to win something for free!
