Frequently asked questions
What Exactly Are Beanie Boos?
Beanie Boos are a popular line of plush (soft) toys created by Ty Inc., the same company famous for Beanie Babies. They’re known for their super soft fur, bright colours, and especially their large, glittery, mesmerizing eyes!
What makes them different from regular stuffed animals?
Their most distinctive feature is those oversized, often sparkling, eyes that give them an incredibly cute and almost cartoon-like appearance. They also typically have a small body size, making them delightful to hold and collect.
What kinds of animals or creatures can you find as Beanie Boos?
You can find almost anything! From classic pets like dogs, cats, and hamsters, to wild animals like lions, pandas, and monkeys. They also often feature mythical creatures like unicorns and dragons, as well as seasonal or fantasy characters.
Are they all the same size?
Not quite! While most people recognize the “regular” size (about 6 inches/15 cm tall), Beanie Boos also come as small keychain clips, medium-sized (around 9 inches/23 cm), and even larger versions (up to 16 inches/40 cm or more).
What do they feel like? Are they soft?
Yes, they are incredibly soft! Most Beanie Boos are made with a very plush, cuddly fabric that’s lovely to touch, making them perfect for snuggling.
What's that little heart-shaped tag on their ear?
That’s their official Ty tag! It’s usually a red heart with the Ty logo. Inside, you’ll typically find the Beanie Boo’s name, their birthday, and a short, sweet poem or saying that gives them a unique personality.
Do they all have names and birthdays?
Absolutely! Many people love to collect Beanie Boos. Ty regularly releases new designs and sometimes “retires” older ones, which can make certain Boos more sought after by collectors.
