Feast your eyes on the completed set of the original 2nd generation new face production teddies. We have jade, magenta, brown, teal, cranberry, and violet, each with the color patch that Ty used to match the shade wanted for the released example. Notice the brown nose on the new face brown teddy example.
Rarity Rank: 1.25
Maybe a modest ranking for these 2nd generation original prototypes. The fact that these survived with original pax tags (all dated January of 1994) is really quite miraculous. It looks like Ty locked into these shades almost exactly a year before their eventual production release in January of 1995. It took many years to eventually secure picture proof that all examples had survived. The new face Jade teddy surfaced first around 2013. The first prototype piece to be sold from what was, at the time, the finest collection in the world. The owner passed and her estate did end up moving most of the collection to several different collectors.
