The Beanie Babies Are Back: Bluey, Marvel, Disney and the Classics in One Range
Share
If you grew up in the 1990s, the words Beanie Baby probably trigger a memory of a shelf you were not allowed to touch. The range that started the whole Ty phenomenon is still going, and today's lineup looks very different.
Right now, we are grateful to stock 53 Beanie Babies at Beanie Boos Australia, and the big story is the licenced characters.
The whole Heeler family is here
Start with the one that matters most in Australian households: Bluey. Not just Bluey herself, but Bingo, Bandit and Chilli too, each $11.99. A complete Heeler family for under $50 is the kind of gift maths that sorts out a birthday and the following Christmas in one order. These four rarely stay in stock long, for reasons any parent of a preschooler will understand.
Marvel, Disney and Paw Patrol
The rest of the licensed range is deep. There are 30 Disney designs, from Stitch and Angel to Mickey, Minnie and a Dumbo that comes in sizes up to a 40 cm large at $69.99. Marvel fans get 14 characters, including Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Hulk, Groot, Captain America and Black Panther. And there are 8 Paw Patrol designs for the younger crew.
Many favourites also come as $6.99 clips, which turn a school bag into a statement. A Groot hanging off a backpack zip is a cheap way to make a seven-year-old's week.
The classics are still classics
Alongside the licensed characters, the traditional animal Beanie Babies carry on the original spirit: Praline and Sprout the bunnies, Amber II the cat, Bananas II the orangutan and more. That II in the name tells you something, by the way. These are revivals of retired designs, which is proof of the point we made recently: Ty designs really do come and go, and the ones on shelves now will not all be back.
One range, four price points
Clips at $6.99, regulars at $11.99, mediums around $29.99 and larges at $69.99. Whatever the occasion and budget, there is a Beanie Baby that fits, from a party-bag treat to a serious birthday centrepiece.
Every one is genuine Ty, imported by the authorised Australian distributor, with the heart tag intact. Browse the full Beanie Babies range at Beanie Boos Australia, with Click and Collect, Afterpay and free standard shipping on orders over $150.
