90s Toys Platinum Appraisal

Ty Beanie Baby 'Patti' the Duck

The item is a small, soft plush toy in the shape of a yellow duckling, commonly known as "Patti" from the Ty Beanie Babies collection. It measures approximately 5-6 inches in height and is constructed from a fuzzy, bright yellow polyester material, characteristic of early Beanie Babies. The duck features an orange, soft fabric beak and orange webbed feet, providing a vibrant contrast to its main body color. Its eyes are small, black, plastic beads, securely embedded. A prominent feature is the attached red heart-shaped swing tag, enclosed in a clear plastic protective cover, which is indicative of a collectible Beanie Baby. The front of the tag displays the iconic white "Ty" logo, with "BEANIE ORIGINAL BABY" printed in yellow text within a starburst on the right side of the heart. The toy appears to be in very good condition with no visible signs of wear, tears, stains, or damage, suggesting it has been well-preserved, possibly never played with. The plush material retains its original vibrant yellow color and softness. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced collectible plush toys from the 1990s, with neat stitching and securely attached features. Its excellent preserved condition and the presence of the original swing tag are significant indicators for its potential value as a collectible.
