Humphrey The Camel Appraisal

Ty Beanie Baby Humphrey the Camel (McDonald's Teenie Beanie Baby)

This item is a McDonald's Teenie Beanie Baby featuring 'Humphrey the Camel,' still sealed in its original clear plastic packaging. The plush toy itself is a fawn-colored or light brown camel, suggesting it's made from a soft, plush fabric typical of Beanie Babies. It has the iconic heart-shaped Ty tag visible on its side, which is predominantly red with white lettering and a yellow star. The packaging is a cardboard 'booklet' style, characteristic of the McDonald's Teenie Beanie promotion. The front of this booklet displays the character's name, 'Humphrey the Camel,' along with its descriptive poem: 'Humphrey's resting here amid / A desert near a pyramid / He thinks that it would be just grand / To live somewhere that has less sand!' Below the poem, the 'Date Introduced' is listed as June 25, 1994, and the 'Date of Birth' as May 29, 1994, providing key manufacturing and release information. A stylized 'H' and the 'Ty' logo are prominently featured, along with 'Legends' text. The McDonald's 'M' logo is also visible, confirming its promotional origin. The overall condition appears excellent, as it remains sealed in its original packaging, protecting it from dust, dirt, and wear. There are no visible tears, creases, or damage to the packaging, nor any visible flaws on the plush toy itself. This item represents a collectible from the late 20th century, specifically the mid-1990s, when Beanie Babies were at the height of their popularity. The pristine condition in original sealed packaging signifies a higher level of collectibility and preservation.
