Today is 28th June, which can mean only one thing!
It’s Frolic’s Birthday!
Frolic is a gorgeous spaniel-type dog with a fluffy white body and black fur running along his back. He has button eyes and a black nose, with scruffy, black floppy ears.
One of the things I really love about Frolic is the amount of detail Ty have put into him. On his muzzle and around his paws, he has grey, airbrushed patches to give the appearance of the markings on a real spaniel.
Below is a picture of a real Springer Spaniel to compare. I think that Ty have done a great job with Frolic and making him look like the real deal!
Frolic’s Birthday is on 28th June 2001 and his poem reads as follows:
Please take me to the park today Where I can run and jump and play It’s so much fun to be with you I hope you feel the same way too!
Frolic was also made into a larger Beanie Buddy version, which looks equally as amazing as his Beanie Baby counterpart. Here is the Beanie Buddy version pictured below.
With everything that’s going on at the moment, it’s nice to hear the news that there is a brand new Beanie Baby available!
His name is Barker and here is the little guy pictured below. Isn’t he adorable?!
Barker is a brand new dog in the Beanie Babies line. He is similar in appearance to the Beanie Boos (in fact, I thought he was one at first!) with his large, glittery gold eyes.
Barker appears to be a spaniel-type dog, possible a cocker spaniel, and has lovely floppy ears that are slightly furrier than the rest of him.
Barker’s Birthday is on 24th January and his poem reads:
It’s a known fact that dogs make good best friends. There is no doubt we’re pals to the end!
Today is the 26th February, which means only one thing….
It’s Mukluk’s Birthday!
Mukluk is a mottled grey husky with a white face, belly and legs. His Birthday is on 26th February 2003 and his poem reads:
Just say “mush” and watch me run I love the snow, it’s so much fun And when the day is finally through I’d love to cuddle up with you!
There are two versions of Mukluk: one version with white eyes and another with one blue eye, one green eye. Both versions have the same style number of 40031.
Aren’t they both so cute?!
The name “Mukluk” comes from the Arctic aboriginal word for any kind of soft boot used for cold weather. Traditionally, these were made from reindeer or seal skin, but now they are either made from traditional or modern materials.
Happy Birthday Mukluk! Do you have any of these two Beanie Babies?
Valentino was one of the first Beanie Baby bears I got (along with Halo and Fuzz) so has a sentimental value to me.
His poem reads as follows:
His heart is red and full of love He cares for you so give him a hug Keep him close when feeling blue Feel the love he has for you!
Although I love Valentino, there is so much false information out there about him, mainly regarding his rarity and value.
To clear things up a bit, Valentino is only worth any more than a few dollars when he has a 2nd or 3rd generation swing tag, the 2nd generation being worth several hundreds of dollars if it is in absolutely mint condition.
There was a rumour that if Valentino has a brown nose then he is worth more. The truth is that all Valentino bears had a brown nose. There was no other colour variation available.
Finally, errors in the tag add absolutely nothing to his value. Tag errors were produced in the millions and are very common among most Beanie Babies.
Having said that, I love Valentino and think he’s a lovely bear.
Lovely is an adorable little white dog covered in a red heart pattern. She reminds me a bit of a dalmatian dog as the heart pattern looks a bit like red spots and I just love the bright red ribbon she has tied around her neck.
Her poem reads:
A wagging dog so cute and sweet Is bringing you a special treat Many warm hugs meant just for you A more lovely pup you never knew!
I’m sure you have all heard of Garfield the cat, the popular comic series created by Jim Davis. Since he has appeared in his own TV series and even feature length movies.
The cynical, lasagne-loving feline has even been made into a few licensed Beanie Babies, one of which is the “Happy Valentine’s Day” version, pictured above.
Smoothie was a cute white giraffe covered in bright red hearts. Her gorgeous fluffy red mane runs down her long neck and she has a tuft of bright red fur on the end of her tail.
Smoothie’s poem reads:
I will search high in the trees For someone that I can squeeze My Valentine will meet me there And we will make the perfect pair!
What did you think of this list? What are your favourite Valentine’s Day Beanie Babies.
