Ty Beanie Baby 'The End' Bear (McDonald's Teenie Beanie)

This item is a McDonald's Teenie Beanie Baby featuring 'The End' bear. The item is presented in its original packaging, which consists of a cardboard booklet-style card with a clear plastic blister housing the bear. The bear itself is a small, plush toy, predominantly black in color, consistent with the 'The End' theme. It appears to be made of a soft, synthetic material typical of Beanie Babies. The bear is wearing a small, dark graduation cap with a gold-colored tassel. Printed on the bear's chest in a gold-colored script are the words 'The End'. A red heart-shaped Ty tag, characteristic of Beanie Babies, is affixed to the bear. The packaging clearly displays the 'Ty' logo and the title 'The End the Bear' alongside a poem that reads: 'All good things come to an end / It's been fun for everyone / Peace and hope are never gone / Love you all and say "So long"'. The text 'Date Introduced: Aug. 31, 1999' is visible, establishing its manufacturing period as the late 1990s. A McDonald's logo is also present on the packaging, indicating that this was part of a promotional series. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with the bear still sealed in its original, clear plastic blister, suggesting it is untouched. The cardboard packaging shows minimal signs of wear, possibly light corner bending or subtle creasing, but no major tears or significant damage. This is a mass-produced collectible from the Beanie Baby craze, specifically tailored for the McDonald's Teenie Beanie promotion, making it a distinct variant.
