Ty Beanie Babies

Ty Beanie Babies are a line of stuffed animals, made by Ty Warner Inc. They were later renamed as Ty Inc. in November 1991. Each toy is stuffed with plastic pellets (or “beans”) rather than conventional stuffing. That gives Beanie Babies a flexible feel. In a rare interview Warner said “The whole idea was it looked real because it moved.” During the later half of the 1990’s the toy emerged as a major fad.
