Inky Beanie Baby (Octopus)
This item is an original Ty Beanie Baby named 'Inky' the Octopus. It is a plush toy made from a soft, polyester fiber material, characteristic of Beanie Babies from the late 1990s. The toy features a tie-dye pattern with a blend of muted earth tones, including shades of brown, pink, blue, gray, and yellow-orange, giving each 'leg' and the main body a unique color variation. The main body is round and bulbous, with two small black plastic eyes securely attached to the front. From the central body, eight distinct 'legs' or tentacles extend outwards, with visible stitching suggesting segments or individual limbs. The overall construction appears well-made, typical of Ty products. There are two tags visible: a small, white 'tush tag' on the rear or underside of one leg, which indicates manufacturing details, and a red heart-shaped 'swing tag' (also known as a 'hang tag') on another leg, which bears the Ty logo and identifies the item as a Beanie Baby. The plush appears to be in excellent visible condition with no apparent wear, tears, stains, or damage, and the tags appear crisp and uncreased. The fiber fill seems evenly distributed, maintaining its original plump shape. This particular Beanie Baby would likely date to the late 1990s, given the typical release period for the 'Inky' model.
