Ty have treated us to another new Beanie Boo that is quite unlike any other Beanie Boo!
Introducing Widget!
Widget the dog is a Legoland exclusive Beanie Boo. Unlike other Beanie Boos, this little purple dog has embroidered eyes instead of the traditional Beanie Boo button eyes.
I’m not quite sure why they went with this decision of the embroidered eyes, since the whole point of Beanie Boos was having the large button eyes, but he is still rather cute!
His Birthday is on 27th March and he doesn’t have a poem. Inside the swing tag are both the “Lego” and “Legoland” logos. in place of a poem.
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!
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!
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!
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!
It’s Monday again (Booooo!), so I thought I’d write a post that is a bit more fun today!
Today is 22nd June, so that can only mean one thing! It’s National Take Your Cat to Work Day!
I’m not quite sure where this “National Day” came from, but it sounds like my kind of day!
I’m a big fan of Ty cats (Beanie Babies, Beanie Boos, Classic, you name it!) and seem to have a growing collection of them. Here’s my latest little cutie who “just needed a home”…
Little Zip here is helping me out with the website today!
Interestingly, Zip has had four different facelifts in her lifetime! This is the latest, and most common, version with white paws. The very first Zip had a white face and magenta whiskers. This was followed by another white face version with pink whiskers. Later, she was changed to an all black cat, then Ty finally settled on the version pictured above with the white paws. The earliest magenta version is the one most sought after by collectors.
Pictured below is a small selection from my Beanie cats collection (from the right, Jaden, Kiki, Peachy, Zip, Kiki (Mini Boo), Nip and Mambo). I have more cats in my collection, but sadly due to lockdown and them being in a different location at the moment, I’m going to have to wait a little while longer to reunite them all!
Does anyone else have a specific type of Beanie they prefer to collect? It could be a kind of animal, or maybe Beanie bears, or even a specific tag generation you have a preference for? Leave a comment below!
If you haven’t already, check out the new Ty Squish a Boos!
Ty announced these earlier in the year, but they are now apparently available in store. The trouble is, they’re really hard to find! I’m not sure if it’s just a UK thing, but they seem to be unavailable everywhere I’ve looked!
At the moment, I’ve heard about nine different Squish a Boos. They are all basically Squish a Boo versions of previous Beanie Boos that have been released over the years.
Just to let you all know, I’ve now finished putting up all the Teeny Tys on the website!
Now they are available to add to your collection and browse at your leisure. You can also filter them by animal type, year of release and colour, as well as sort them alphabetically.
I am currently missing a picture for the Hungarian Chaser (Chaser XXI). If anyone has a picture they would be willing to give me permission to upload to the database, or any other information on him, I would be really, really grateful!
If you find I’m missing any out from the list, please let me know and I’ll add it in for you.
This adorable fox is called Faye. Although I saw Faye a while back on the Ty Calendar, I couldn’t find out any details on her before, other than a fuzzy, small image.
Ty have now updated her image on the Calendar and now include her poem, which reads as follows:
Being a sly fox is my claim to fame Make a silly face, and I’ll do the same!
Faye will probably make an appearance later this year (obviously, the current situation could delay things, so I’m not sure exactly when that could be).
I am pretty sure, based on her look, that she will be released to the Beanie Boo collection, however, this is still unclear at the moment.
Faye is not to be confused with another fox released in the Beanie Babies range this year, called Fay (without the “e”).
Well it’s that time of the week again…it’s Friday! It’s also the Birthday of a cute, little kitty called Lilac!
Lilac is part of the Teeny Tys range. I only just added her to the website yesterday before realising it was actually her Birthday today!
She features flippable sequins that change from a mixture of pink shades to a silvery, sparkly colour when you run your hand over them. Her sparkly green eyes really pop out from the pinky shades of her sequins.
I think we can all agree this little feline is just adorable!
Hi everyone! Just a quick announcement to let you know about the brand new features on Beaniepedia!
A few people have expressed (including myself) that they would love to be able to sort Beanies in the database alphabetically when searching. Well…now you can!
On each category of Beanie, there is a drop-down box on the top right of the page that is defaulted to “Latest added”. If you click on this, you can sort alphabetically by ascending order (ASC) or descending order (DESC). You can also sort your collection alphabetically in the “My Beanies” section of the website.
On the “My Beanies” section, you can now filter through your own Beanies in your collection by year, colour and animal type!
You can also now share your collection with your friends if you choose to.
Also, I’m happy to announce that after quite a few requests, I have been adding more Teeny Tys to the website. I have been meaning to add them in for a while now! I have more to go just yet, but the rest will be going up on the website shortly.
Thanks for visiting our website and I hope you continue to enjoy using it! Stay safe everyone!
