Ty Beanie Baby - Clubby II The Blue Bear

This item is a 1999 Ty Beanie Baby known as 'Clubby II', a limited-edition bear released exclusively through the BBOC (Beanie Babies Official Club). The bear is approximately 8.5 inches tall and is constructed from a vibrant royal blue 'terry' or textured fabric, which differs from the standard smooth plush used on primary Beanie line items. It features coal-black plastic bead eyes and a matching black plastic nose. A distinctive red, white, and blue patterned ribbon is tied around its neck in a simple bow. On its left chest, there is an embroidered silver and white emblem representing the Beanie Babies Official Club. The bear retains its original heart-shaped 'swing tag,' which is protected by a clear plastic 'tag protector' sleeve, indicating collector-conscious storage. The item is displayed inside a custom-sized clear acrylic hard case with a gold-toned circular base, which has helped preserve the fabric's color and texture. The condition appears to be 'Mint,' with no signs of fading, frayed stitching, or stains visible. These bears were manufactured by Ty Inc. in China and represent the peak era of the late-1990s plush toy collecting craze.
