Ty Beanie Baby - The End Bear

This is a Ty Beanie Baby known as 'The End' bear, released in 1999 to signal the initially announced retirement of the Beanie Baby line. The item is a plush teddy bear measuring approximately 8.5 inches in height when fully extended. It is constructed from a deep black polyester plush fabric with an internal filling of plastic PVC or PE pellets and polyester fiber, providing the characteristic 'bean bag' feel. The bear features small, black plastic bead eyes and a matching hard plastic nose. A distinctive gold-colored ribbon is tied around its neck. A key identifying feature is the gold-threaded embroidery on the left chest area, which reads 'The End' accompanied by a small multi-colored firework or starburst symbol. The overall condition appears to be used; while the plush fabric maintains its deep color, there is visible lint and slight fuzzing consistent with handling. Notably, both the swing heart-shaped hang tag and the tush tag appear to be missing in the image, which significantly impacts its status as a mint-condition collectible. The bear was manufactured by Ty Inc. during the late 1990s, specifically with a manufacture date around August 1999. Its craftsmanship is typical of the mass-produced era of Ty products, featuring simple stitched seams and machine embroidery.
