Beanie Babies Today: Licensed Favourites From Ty

Plenty of adults remember the Beanie Babies craze of the 1990s. The range is still going, and today it's full of characters kids know from screens and games.

Ty released the first Beanie Babies in 1993. The current range keeps the same simple idea: small, soft, beanbag-style plush with the Ty heart tag.

Characters kids already love

Most of today's Beanie Babies are licensed characters. Our range includes Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Bluey, Minecraft, Sesame Street, Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Frozen and Winnie the Pooh, along with Sonic the Hedgehog, the Smurfs and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

You can filter our Beanie Babies collection by licence. If a child is into one show or game, that's the quickest way to see everything we have for it.

A size for every use

Beanie Babies come in several sizes. Clips are the smallest and attach to bags and keys. We stock plenty of them, including Mickey Mouse, Stitch, Spider-Man, Groot and Olaf. Regular Beanie Babies suit everyday play. Medium and large sizes make a bigger gift. The large Disney Dumbo is a good example.

A note on clips: Beanie Babies clips sold in Australia have metal clips, even where product photos show plastic.

Good for school, parties and gifts

Clips are popular for school bags and lunch boxes. Regular Beanie Babies work well as party prizes or a small reward. For birthdays, a character the child already loves is hard to beat.

For the original collectors

If you collected Beanie Babies in the 1990s, you might be tempted to buy for investment. Our advice is simple. Buy the ones you like. Today's Beanie Babies are made for play, gifting and display, and that's where most of their value lies.
