Ty Beanie Baby McDonald's Happy Meal Spangle The Bear (International Bears II)

This item is a McDonald's Happy Meal promotional toy featuring 'Spangle the Bear,' part of the 'International Bears II' collection, which are smaller versions of the popular Ty Beanie Babies. The bear is presented in its original sealed plastic packaging, which is then enclosed within a cardboard backing card designed to stand upright. The bear itself is adorned with a patriotic design, featuring a navy blue section with white stars and red and white stripes, mimicking the American flag. Its fur appears to be plush, characteristic of Beanie Babies. The packaging includes key identifying information: 'Spangle the Bear' is clearly printed, along with a short poem: 'Stars and stripes he wears proudly / Everywhere he goes he says loudly / 'Hip hip hooray, for the land of the free / There's no place on earth I'd rather be!'. The Ty logo, a red heart with 'ty' in white, is prominent. Manufacturing details indicate a 'Date Introduced: April 24, 1999' and 'Date of Birth: June 14, 1999'. The McDonald's 'M' logo is also visible, confirming its origin as a Happy Meal toy. The item appears to be in excellent, unopened condition, preserved within its original packaging, which is a significant factor for collectors. No explicit wear, damage, or repairs are visible through the clear plastic. The cardboard backing shows a depiction of what appears to be Mount Rushmore, further emphasizing the American theme. The small, red swing tag, typical of Ty products, is visible on the bear inside the plastic.
