3434. The End Black Teddy Bear


The End or not The End? That is the question. This Beanie Baby does not have a birth date, but the poem reads:

All good things come to an end
It's been fun for everyone
Peace and hope are never gone
Love you all and say "So long!"

This elegant bear is all black--including its plastic button eyes and nose. Adorning its neck is a gold ribbon tied in a bow. A fireworks burst of red, green, purple, and yellow is embroidered on its chest along with the words The End which are done in gold. Because this bear signals the end of the Beanie Baby, it is very sought after and highly collectible; it would make a great gift for a collector.

3401. Happy Meal 25th Bear


In 2004 McDonald's celebrated its 25th Anniversary of The Happy Meal with Ty's famous Teenie Beanie Babies! Starting July 23rd 2004 through August 19th 2004 McDonald's had 12 different Teenie Beanies Baby Bears available, each Teenie Beanie represented a piece of McDonald's famous history. This particular bear represented the Happy Meal Brand.

The Teenie Beanies are miniature Beanie Babies that were offered in McDonald's promotions from 1996-2000.
The Teenie Beanies were most in demand from McDonald's in the first year they were offered, and declined in popularity every year thereafter, even though more were produced each time.
During the height of their popularity, which was in 1998, Teenie Beanies were the cause of many fights at various McDonald's locations, resulting in calls to police, criminal charges, and injuries. These included a Miami area McDonalds employee, who was charged with the theft of the toys . Though they were sold for around $2 each along with a Happy Meal, they were often sold in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 for much higher prices on the secondary market after the promotion.
Some McDonalds locations exhausted their supplies of Teenie Beanies before the promotion was over.
Teenie Beanie Babies returned to McDonalds in July 2009, featuring Beanie Babies 2.0, the subseries of Ty Beanie Babies. Consumers could log onto http://www.ty.com/ and play online with their new Teenie Beanie as a marketing decision to raise public awareness and garner interest in the Beanie Babies 2.0 virtual pets. Originally, there was a 30-day trial period for playing with the toys online, but now the company has decided to allow consumers to keep their virtual pets for an undisclosed period of time (albeit indefinite.)

Following a four-year hiatus, a set of Teenie Beanies was introduced in 2004. Unlike the earlier sets, the twelve that came out this time bore no resemblance to any regular Ty Beanie Babies, with the exception of the Ronald McDonald bear which was an exclusive Beanie Baby handed out to those who attended the Worldwide McDonald's Owner/Operator Convention. Rather, each one represented a different McDonald's product or character.

3204. Peanut the Royal Blue Elephant



Peanut the elephant walks on tip-toes

Quietly sneaking wherever she goes
She'll sneak up on you and a hug you will get
Peanut is a friend you won't soon forget!

Peanut was born January 25, 1995, and is one Beanie Baby you'll never forget. Peanut's rpyal blue body and pink inner ears will have you trying to baby her. From around her upturned trunk--a symbol of good luck--black button eyes peer out at you. Her tail has a knot at the end, and this big girl is so tired out she's lying down. Peanut makes a wonderful addition to a collection.

2825. Rocket the Blue Jay


Rocket is a fine feathered fellow indeed. He was born March 12, 1997. His poem reads:
Rocket is the fastest blue jay ever
He flies in all sorts of weather
Aerial tricks are his specialty
He's so entertaining for you and me!
This little guy is bursting with attitude. He knows he's handsome and is proud to show it. His "feathers" are a gorgeous shade of blue, and he has a white belly, underwings, and tail. His beak and feet are black, as are his button eyes. Surface wash only.
