Old Face and New Face Teddy TIE-DYED (Garcia) Prototype Set

Here we have the original tie-dyed new face and old face teddy set! This one is WILD! The old face example is the original tyriffic store example. Crazy to think this could have been our original Garcia:). We denote this “shade” of fabric as “garcia tie-dyed” given Ty had other shades of tie-dyed fabric – including pastel. This concludes the six shades and set of Tyriffic Store Bears that ignited this original teddy crusade!

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. We would almost nudge the tie-dyed old face tyriffic example up a notch for sure. It’s so wild!
