Ty Beanie Baby Valentinos the Bear

This item is a Valentinos the Bear Beanie Baby, produced by Ty Inc. The bear is constructed from soft, white polyester plush fabric and is filled with plastic pellets (P.E. or PVC pellets, typical of the 1990s era). It features black plastic bulb eyes and a black plastic nose. A distinctive red embroidered heart is located on the left side of the bear's chest, and a matching red satin ribbon is tied around its neck. The bear is approximately 8.5 inches in height and 4 inches wide. A critical feature for collectors is the presence of the 5th generation heart-shaped red 'swing tag' attached to the left ear, which appears to be in good condition without significant creasing. The fabric appears bright white with no visible yellowing or staining, suggesting it has been kept in a clean environment. The stitching is clean and intact. This specific model was first introduced in early 1998 as a Valentine's Day themed release. Its quality is representative of the mass-produced vintage plush market of the late 20th century, though its value relies heavily on the presence and condition of its original tags.
