The color for actual Royalty! Ty didn’t use this fabric officially until he created the Princess Diana Bear in 1997. To all it seems fitting now that this fabric was saved for our lost Princess. But don’t these original teddies look INSANE in this purple shade?
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.
