Emerald Green! A more traditional shade of green. Ty eventually did use this fabric for the famous Erin Bear released in early 1998 (5th generation). Notice their brown noses! Ty eventually did use this particular bear for his excruciatingly rare Lucky Erin Bear – the gift given to ‘green’ sales reps who hadn’t quite earned the #1 Rep Bear prize at the 1998 sales party.
Rarity Rank: 0. All four of these pieces are easy rank 0 pieces. Full departures for original 1st and 2nd generation styles. There is an argument that these could be kicked up to a higher rarity class given they are full color alternates for the original teddy bears of the beanie collection, which are among the most collected and coveted even today. The old face bears will all have 1992 pax hang tag dates, and the new face bears will have 1993 pax dates – so their age and notoriety are beyond reproach. An entire assembled set adds an additional WOW factor, on top of everything.
