IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH... Absolutely not a spot. The swing-tag is in a protective sleeve and has been impeccably preserved. This is an AMAZING VINTAGE TOY! Theme: Beanie Babies Subtheme: Valentine's Day Style Number: 4058 Color: White with Red Heart Birthday: 02/14/94 Release Date: 07/01/1995 Release Year: 1995 Retirement Date: 12/31/1998 Animal: Bear It also includes a stretchy Valentino name bracelet; with each letter being an individual rounded block and there is a red heart both to the left and right of the name. The remainder of the bracelet has gorgeous red beads. Fun facts: Beanie Babies are deliberately under-stuffed. This led to a criticism that the toys looked "cheap"; however, this set them apart from most stuffed animals on the market which could not be posed easily. Ty Warner said that this under-stuffing method made the toys look "real". Another important design element is the tag. Since the beginning, Beanie Babies have included two tags for identification: a heart-shaped "swing tag" at the top, and a fabric "tush tag" at the bottom. Starting in early 1996, the tags include four-line poems related to the Beanie Baby, and a date of birth for the toy. Nine original Beanie Babies were launched in 1993: Legs the Frog, Squealer the Pig, Spot the Dog, Flash the Dolphin, Splash the Whale, Chocolate the Moose, Patti the Platypus, Brownie the Bear (later renamed "Cubbie"), and Pinchers the Lobster (with some tag errors with "Punchers"). In 1996, Ty Inc. released a new product called Teenie Beanies, which is a miniature offshoot of the original Beanie Babies line. They were sold alongside McDonald's Happy Meals to celebrate 17th anniversary. Ty, Inc. stopped producing the product in December 1999, but consumer demand led them to reconsider. Production started again in 2000 with a Beanie Baby named "The Beginning." In early 2008, Ty released a new version of Beanie Babies called Beanie Babies 2.0. The purchase of a Beanie Baby 2.0 provided its owner with a code to access an online Beanie Babies interactive website. The website has since been shut down. See a LOT of photos, as they are of the exact "baby" you are purchasing!
