Blister Pack Beanie Appraisal

Teenie Beanie Baby Erin the Bear in McDonald's Blister Pack

This item is a 1998 Teenie Beanie Baby named 'Erin the Bear,' produced by Ty Inc. specifically for a McDonald's Happy Meal promotion. The plush bear is emerald green and features a small yellow three-leaf shamrock embroidered on its left chest. It has black plastic bead eyes and a black stitched nose. The bear is housed in its original clear plastic blister packaging mounted on a decorative cardstock backing. The backing features a graphic of a stone castle and green Irish hills under a blue sky with the 'Ty' logo prominently displayed in the upper right. Notable markings include the 'Ronald McDonald House Charities' logo in the upper left corner and the text 'Collect All 4!' and 'While supplies last.' The condition of the internal plush appears mint, though the outer plastic blister shows some glare and potential light shelf wear. The cardstock has a small white price sticker in the top left corner marked with the number '3'. This piece represents a significant era of late 1990s pop culture collectibles and is part of the second set of Teenie Beanie Babies released.
