Ty Beanie Baby Twigs II the Giraffe — A Classic Returns

The original Twigs the Giraffe was released in 1996 and retired in 1998. For collectors who remember the early Beanie Baby era, Twigs was one of the definitive animals — a tall, distinctive giraffe in bright yellow with an orange spot pattern that stood out in any collection.

Twigs II brings that character back as part of Ty's 30th Anniversary series. The design honours the original. The proportions, the colouring, the spot pattern — it reads immediately as Twigs to anyone who collected back then. That recognition is the point.

In our opinion, Twigs is one of the most adorable in the whole Ty collection. The design is wonderful, Twigs is so huggable.

This is an approximately 8-inch plush, presented mint with mint tags. Both the heart tag and tush tag are intact. For collectors, condition matters. MWMT is the standard that serious Beanie Baby collectors care about, and this one delivers.

The 30th Anniversary framing gives Twigs II a clear identity as a commemorative piece, not just a reissue. Ty has been selective about which original Beanie Babies return for this milestone, which keeps the series meaningful. Twigs II is one of those selections.

The buyer profile here is specific. Adults who collected Beanie Babies in the 1990s are now in their 30s and 40s. Many have kids of their own. Twigs II works as both a nostalgia purchase for the parent and a genuinely charming giraffe plush for the child. Both buyers are valid.

At $11.99, Twigs II is priced well for what it is — a limited anniversary edition of a retired original, in pristine condition, made by Ty.
