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!
This weekend, I decided to add another Beanie Boo to my collection, which turned into two Beanie Boos, then two Beanie Boos and four Beanie Babies and THEN two Beanie Boos, four Beanie Babies and a Ty Classic!
I started out bidding on Kiki, then I saw that Jamal had gone down in price on Amazon UK, then I found four Beanie Babies going cheap in a discount store (Tooter, Stinky, white paws Nip and another Peace bear) and then I fell in love with a Ty Classic cat called Peachy.
Today I’m going to review Peachy the long-haired cat.
Peachy is from the Ty Classic line and features luxurious white fur, airbrushed with a very light brown to make her fur appear more real. Her fur is longer on her back and tail.
Her eyes are a gorgeous bright blue colour and she has a cute little peach coloured nose that stands out from the white of her fur. Her whiskers are slightly off-white and her mouth is made from peach coloured thread.
Peachy has a slightly different swing tag from the Beanie Babies range. Her swing tag is a 4th generation Ty Classic tag, which is the same red colour as Beanie Baby swing tags and still features the white “Ty” logo, but features the word “Classic” in gold foil to the upper right of the tag.
The inside of the swing tag doesn’t have a poem like the Beanie Baby range (4th generation onwards or course), but is more akin to 3rd generation Beanie Baby tags with the name (Peachy in this case), and spaces to write “To” and “From”.
The tush tag is quite simple and doesn’t feature a name like on Beanie Baby or Beanie Boo tags. It is also made from a different type of fabric, with more of an embroidered feel to it.
I really like how realistic Peachy looks, and its one of the reasons I couldn’t resist adding her to my collection. She is slightly under-stuffed, so you can pose her lying down or sat up (pictured below).
Ty Classics aren’t the most common collectible Ty produce (Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos are more popular for collectors), however they are so well made, and have such attention to detail that Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos just don’t have (although I love them all!).
What do you think of Peachy?

Yesterday I posted an article about my top five Valentine’s Day Beanie Babies. Well today, I’m going to talk about my top five Valentine’s Day Beanie Boos!
So I’ll start off with one of my favourite monkeys.
Casanova is special to me as I received him myself for Valentine’s Day.
This cute little brown monkey was released in 2010 and holds a large, pink love heart in his paws. He is slightly older than the other Beanie Boos I’m going to talk about today and has a purple 2nd generation hang tag.
His poem reads:
My temperature’s high and my vision’s a blur I have a bad case of jungle Love for sure!
Casanova was also released in a medium size and as a key clip.
Last week I reviewed Zappy as I found him and a few other Beanie Boos, including Orson and Nori in Poundland for only £2! As I previously mentioned, Poundland is a UK discount store that sells items for between £1-5.
This time, I came home with one of the Mini Boos!
Mini Boos are hand-painted figurine versions of Beanie Boos that come in a concealed box with a question mark on the front.
I had previously purchased one of the Mini Boos from Poundland and I received Kiki (pictured below), a cute grey tabby cat with a pink bow. When I came back to buy another one, they had all sold out! However, they now have a new batch in stock again! Yay!
On the back of the box are all the pictures of all the Mini Boos available in the series. This box happens to be from the first series. The only Mini Boo not pictured is what is known as the “Mystery Chaser”, a rare Mini Boo that is only available in smaller quantities.
Inside each box is a bagged Mini Boo figurine and a Mini Boos checklist. For some reason, I’ve ended up with two checklists. I’m pretty sure there is only meant to be one as that was what I got with Kiki originally.
Each checklist has the different Mini Boos available for each series with their picture, name and a circle that you can tick when you get each one. There is also a Mystery Chaser picture that you can tick if you’re lucky enough to get it.
Finally, it was time for me to open the box and the Mini Boo inside was…Safari! The Safari Mini Boo is based on the Beanie Boo, also called Safari, who was released in 2010.
Isn’t he adorable?
Safari will sit nicely on my desk alongside the Kiki Mini Boo I got previously. I’m sure more will join them both at some point.
Here they are pictured together.
There are currently four series of Mini Boos available, and I’m now hooked! And this is just the first series!
Here is yet another adorable Beanie Boo due to be released soon!
Her name is Scrappy the Cat and she is due to be released anytime soon. Hopefully she’ll be released within the next month! Here she is pictured below:
Scrappy will be a scruffy grey and beige cat with glittery pink eyes. So far I have no information on her poem or Birthday, but hopefully I can update that soon.
Scrappy appears to have almost curly fur, which is different to any other Beanie Boos that have been released.
There have also been some other additions in the range. Another Unicorn Lion named Layla was released in October 2018 and Begonia the Unicorn Rabbit was introduced earlier this month!
I love this unicorn animal range! They are so colourful and bright, and super adorable! I really hope Ty produce more of them!
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. Next 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!
I 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.
There 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!
Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Yesterday I set out hunting for a new Beanie Boo for my collection, but instead, I just had to bring this little guy home!
This is Jaden the Siamese Cat. Although he looks like a Beanie Boo, he is actually part of the Beanie Babies range!
Jaden has incredibly soft, plush fur that is light beige in colour, except for his face, paws, ears and tail, which are more of a chocolate brown.
It is so easy to confuse Jaden with a Beanie Boo as his eyes look very similar to the large eyes normally seen on them, although there are some differences. His eyes are ever so slightly smaller than a Beanie Boo’s. Here is a picture of Jaden next to one of my Beanie Boos, Stripes the Tiger to demonstrate.
Stripes’ eyes are about a 1/4 of an inch bigger than Jaden’s, although they are still glittery. The bright blue eyes were what drew me to get Jaden instead of another Beanie Boo as they stand out from the dark brown of his face. I also love his little peach coloured nose.
Jaden has a 19th generation Beanie Baby swing tag with the word, “Original” in holographic foil, although I have also seen him with a 20th generation swing tag.
Inside his tag, he has the following poem:
Catnip is my favorite thing I love it even more than string!
His Birthday is on 13th February.
I’m so happy to have this Beanie Baby in my collection, as those who know me will know I’m a huge lover of cats, and this little Beanie was just too cute to resist!
Muffin is one of Ty’s Beanie Boo collection. She was released in January 2013 in three different variations. She was available as a small 6″ Beanie Boo, a medium 9″ Beanie Boo Buddy and a key clip.
Muffin was finally retired after four and a half years on 6th July 2017.
This little ghost is here to make your Halloween ultra-spooky! He’s really adorable though and not that scary.
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.
