We have been collecting beanie babies since the early 90's. We also have a few beanie magazines.
It is not at all unusual to discover a beanie that shares the same birthday date as you. In fact it's quite common with some of the beanies we have.
Beanie collecting is a hobby that anyone can enjoy and it's not just for children either, because beanies all for people of all ages, races and nationalities.
We have published a magazine about beanie babies and other ty collectables, we call it TY Universe.
There is also a kids show we've made about beanie babies we call it the Bedroom Gang, it's about a group of beanie babies who get up to all sorts of adventures.
We also made a beanie babies movie called Beanie Babies: The Movie. If you haven't seen it then you can buy it on dvd and bluray, it's a fantastic fantasy film for the whole family and has all the ty beanie babies you know and love in it on their greatest adventure yet- to save beanie land from the evil vampire bear Baron Von Pyre. If you look really closely during the scene where the beanies go to President Spangles for help you might see some Amiright alumni as beanie animal versions of themselves (Andria's one is the red fox, Chucky's is the bison, Red Ant is the beetle, Agrimorfee is the dog, Christie is the butterfly, Jason is the tiger).
We also have our range of beanies called Cuddle Buddies. There are five Disney themed ones: Heroes, Princessess, Sidekicks, Animals, and Villains.
The horror themed ones has various icons from horror/sci fi films such as Freddy Krueger, Norman Bates, Chucky, Jason Voorhees, Ash from the Evil Dead films, Brundlefly, Alien, Predator, Leatherface, the Saw puppet, Jerry Dandridge and Jack Torrance.
The Tim Burton themed one has characters from Tim Burton films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Mars Attacks, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Sleepy Hollow. Alice In Wonderland ones will be coming on the 10th of November.
Christmas Carol themed ones will be out on the 6th of November and they are to commerate the release of Disney's A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey as the voice of Ebeneezer Scrooge and the three ghosts.
The Lost, and American Idol range of cuddle buddies are also available.
If you want to commerate Jay Leno's new show you can get one of the many ones in the Jay Leno range including some of his old tonight show characters like Iron Jay.
The SNL themed ones include various cast members from the 70's/80/90's seasons of the show as well as their memorable characters such as Wayne Campbell, Samurai Fatuba, The Blues Brothers, Matt Foley, and Roseannadannadanna.
The SCTV range has cast members from the show as well as their characters. My brother and I love the talking Bob and Doug ones.
Of course our most popular range is the John Candy range which consists of all of John's characters from films and tv. Exclusives include Chumsley the werejohncandy, Camp Councellor John (Camp Candy), and one of a fusion of me and Chumsley which is a werejohncandy cuddle buddy. You can also get a Deluxe John Candy Cuddle Buddy which is the same size as a beanie buddy, it also makes a happy laughing sound when you squeeze his tummy.
1. Countess Olafina Squalor is a friend of ours, her name is Kathrine LaBlanc. And the Doizee backpack she has is actually of Doizee when she was starting out- chubby and cherubish. Some versions of the Doizee backpack have things inside them like sweets or toys. She also made that special creme Eu De Lure which if applied to your face twice a day will keep it looking young and beautiful for an eternity, but there were some rather weird side effects though.
ReplyDelete2. With the John Candy cuddle buddies we tried to make them look as close to the real John as possible without delving too far into the uncanny valley so we went with kind of a Beanie Kids kind of look like we did with the doll we made of Jack Black.
Right now we are in negotitations with TY to make some MJ tribute beanie bears.
