Ty, Inc. was founded in 1983 after its founder, Ty Warner saw stuffed cats in Italy that were unavailable in America. Ty's Beanie Babies are one of the most popular collector items. Ty toys all have red heart shaped labels affixed to them with the word "Ty" written in white.

Instructions

    Select Ty Plush Toys

  1. Step 1

    Choose from the Pinkys line. Pinkys characters are mostly pink and white. Some of these plush toys are on key clips and some are actually purses. Visit the Ty, Inc. Website to see which of the Pinkys are current because some of them have been retired (see Resources below).

  2. Step 2

    Select a beanie baby from the Pluffies collection. Pluffies are beanie animals made with super-soft fabric.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase a Bow Wow Beanie for the special dog in your life. These beanies crinkle or squeak when squeezed.

  4. Step 4

    Choose smaller sized versions of the holiday-themed beanies from the Basket Beanies, Halloweenie Beanies and Jingle Beanies. These mini beanies celebrate Easter, Halloween and Christmas respectively.

  5. Step 5

    Choose from the Ty Classics. These are larger stuffed beanie animals. Note that they are not the original nine Beanie Babies.

  6. Step 6

    Select from the Beanie Buddies line. Beanie Buddies are larger sized Beanie Babies.

  7. Step 7

    Select cute characters from the Baby Ty line. Baby Ty are plush babies and baby animals, some dressed in baby clothes.

  8. Step 8

    Choose Angeline for seasonal holidays. Angeline is a beanie Angel, dressed for holidays such as Easter and Christmas.

  9. Step 9

    Select one of six dolls in the new Ty Girlz line. New owners can register their dolls at the Ty Girlz website using a secret code from an accompanying tag (see Resources below). Once registered, the owners can hang out with their virtual dolls in the Girlz world doing several fun things.

  10. Step 10

    Purchase recent Beanie Babies at the Ty store. Click the large red heart on the home page to enter the Beanie Babies website (see Resources below). Click "Store" on the right side of the screen.

  11. Step 11

    Find a Ty Girlz retailer near you. Click "Store Locator" and enter your location to find a retailer in your vicinity.
