Beanie Babies were stuffed toys made by Ty. The Beanie Babies were stuffed with peas/beans, meaning they were incredibly squishy and could be thrown around without being damaged. Although the most popular Beanie Babies were bears, they came in all sorts of different animal varieties. The original nine Beanie Babies were released in 1993 and comprised of 'Legs' the Frog, 'Squealer' the Pig, 'Spot' the Dog, 'Flash' the Dolphin, 'Splash' the Whale, 'Chocolate' the Moose, 'Patti' the Platypus, 'Brownie' the Bear and 'Punchers' the Lobster. Right from their early release they were considered collector's items rather than just toys and collectors were encouraged to keep the special Ty label attached to the Beanie Baby fastened. You could even purchase plastic protectors for the label.
