Seeing the original teddies in this vibrant pink is a treat. This fabric was first used with Pinky the Flamingo we believe (or was it Squealer’s nose?). These teddies really POP. Interesting that Ty had this shade of fabric since the 1st generation, and held off for quite some time before featuring it.
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.
