Macahel Tie Dye Beanie Hats

Product Information

These embroidered tags were only manufactured in Canada and only have a date of 1994. The rumor is that these tags were manufactured by mistake. Oops! The customer got her replacement Snowball, but the version with errors ended up becoming much more valuable. 46. Mel the Koala This copy was played with, but it was sold with no visible wear and the original hang tag. Had the tag not been creased, it likely would have sold for even more. 119. Korean Coral The tush tag also didn't include a star, which indicates the toy was a first edition. 112. Nibbler and Nibbly Beanie Babies (Tie) Bottom line: Wise the graduation owl was wildly popular as a gift for high school and college grads. Perhaps the push to release him before the end of the school year hit was part of the reason for the multitude of errors on this valuable Beanie Baby's tag, which include:

Bottom line: In addition to generic dog Beanie Babies, Ty released several breed-specific toys, including Doby the Doberman pinscher. He was introduced on Jan. 1, 1997, and retired two years later, featuring the signature two-toned markings of the Doberman breed. Some copies of Echo, like this one, were sold with a Lizzie tush tag, while others mistakenly had a Waves swing and tush tag. He was only available for a year, so he's extremely rare. 75. Snip the Cat (Tie) Bottom line: There was not one but three different versions of Inky the octopus, including a gray octopus, a gray octopus with no mouth and a smiling pink octopus. This is an example of the extremely rare pink version, with the older PVC pellets and several tag errors. Bottom line: Early the bird, a robin, was released on May 30, 1998, with a bright red belly and a short, rounded, yellow beak. Just like a real robin. Bottom line: Gobbles is a picture-perfect Thanksgiving turkey until you look at her tag. She was released on Oct. 1, 1997, for the upcoming holiday, and several errors can be found on this particular specimen, including P.V.C. pellets and an error on the last line of the poem.

Her birthday is Aug. 31, 1998, and she was retired just over a year later in November 1999. 8. Tuffy the Terrier Bottom line: A mint condition Stretch the ostrich Beanie Baby is tough to find, especially one with unique errors. Stretch was released at the tail end of 1997, retiring on March 31, 1999. She was released at the same time as the darker brown Pecan the bear on May 1, 1999, and a Beanie Buddy version was sold for a single month in early 2000.

Bottom line: There were four versions of Derby the horse made: fine mane with no star, coarse mane with no star, coarse mane with star and fluffy mane with star.

Bottom line: Last but not least, we have a giant bear with a giant price tag. Wallace the bear was cute to begin with, but paired with a giant, 15-inch version, he's worth more than the price of a new Tesla. Bottom line: This Rex Beanie Baby is a third-generation Beanie and is exceptionally rare because it has German tags. The rainbow tie-dye and peace symbol were trendy at the time, so Ty made a giant version of their Peace bear. There's also a nine-inch version.
