Lucky, a 1st generation piece, wildly popular in bright red, was first released with felt spots – with several iterations to follow in later generations. Little known fact, but finding a Lucky with a MQ 1st generation hang tag is extremely difficult. Actually, Lucky is probably one of the top 5 rarest first generation pieces and is so often overlooked.
It turns out Ty loved this piece and made her in a number of color iterations. Several of these were displayed prominently at the Tyriffic Stores (yellow is the most famous, and has its own post you can find from a few weeks back). The other Tyriffic colors included fuchsia, and white. These are visible in past tyriffic pictures from older posts. This is a GREAT example of an original 1st generation piece that Ty made in most of his original fabric colors. So striking displayed together. In this group picture we have Lucky in orange, green, yellow, (deep) fuchsia, tie-dyed (garcia), white, light pink, and lavender. Non Tyriffic all have pax tags, and 1992 dates. True prizes.
Rarity Rank: .75 Again, Lucky isn’t the most coveted or exciting 1st generation style, but these are all still VIVID and full color departures for a 1st generation piece. Pax tags on most, with the others having clear Tyriffic provenance. So the rating is honestly subjective. These should really be rank “0” pieces given they are full color departures for a 1st generation piece, with oldest pax tags. But a style like Inky no mouth or Slither are just more highly prized. But the fact that so many colors of this piece were created and salvaged…incredible! Note: collage below includes a unique 1st generation Lucky, production oddity! Half black, half red!
