Pinchers the Lobster Ty Beanie Baby
This is an authentic Ty Beanie Baby representing 'Pinchers the Lobster' (originally named Punchers). The item is a vibrant, monochromatic bright red plush toy constructed from a soft polyester shell and filled with plastic PE or PVC pellets. Its design features two large, oversized claws, a segmented body, and a flared tail. Notable facial elements include two small black plastic beaded eyes and two thin black thread-like antennae extending from the face. A key identifying feature is the presence of both the heart-shaped 'swing tag' attached to the right claw and the rectangular fabric 'tush tag' sewn near the tail, containing the Ty logo. Based on the swing tag design shown, this is a later generation release (likely 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation). The condition appears to be excellent or 'near-mint,' showing no visible staining, tearing, or sun-fading, and the tags remain attached, though there is a Slight curl to the swing tag. These were produced starting in 1993, with this specific tag style suggesting a mid-to-late 1990s manufacture date.
