Ty Britannia the Bear Beanie Baby with Original Packaging

This item is a Ty Beanie Baby plush toy, specifically 'Britannia the Bear,' presented in its original sealed McDonald's promotional packaging. The bear itself is a small, soft-bodied plush in a rich brown color, typical of the classic Beanie Baby design. It features a red ribbon tied around its neck, which has a small, gold-colored star-like emblem or charm attached at the front. The bear's eyes appear to be small, dark, and probably plastic, characteristic of Beanie Babies. A red and white hang tag, a hallmark of Ty products, is visible attached to the bear's left ear, indicating it is new and hasn't been removed from its packaging. The packaging consists of a cardboard backing card with a clear plastic blister casing that hermetically seals the bear inside. The cardboard backing prominently displays 'TY' in its iconic red heart logo at the top right, and the title 'BRITANNIA THE BEAR' in bold white lettering. The background graphic on the card depicts the Westminster Parliament building with its famous clock tower (Big Ben) in London, underscoring the bear's British theme. Below the TY logo, it states 'Collect All 4!' with instructions to 'Write supplies back' (likely referring to the mail-in offer for the set). On the top left of the card, there's a smaller logo for 'Ronald McDonald House Charities,' indicating this was part of a promotional partnership. The item appears to be in excellent, unopened condition, with no visible tears, creases, or damage to either the packaging or the bear itself. The clear plastic blister is intact. This specific item belongs to the McDonald's Teenie Beanie Babies promotion, likely from the late 1990s or early 2000s, given the typical release period for these collectible toys. Its pristine condition and original sealed packaging are significant quality indicators.
