Shortly after it’s release, Brownie was retired and was re-introduced as Cubbie. When the cute little brown bear was first introduced, it was under the name “Brownie”. Actually Cubbie wasn’t really his original name. I’m not quite sure what’s funny about being stung by fourteen bees. The poem suggests that his favourite treat is chocolate, and you’ve got to love the pun, Chocolate Moose! Chocolate was one of the last of the Original Nine to retire, doing so on 31st December 1998. So now it’s time to introduce you to the Original Nine… Chocolate the Mooseīut there is one more thing he likes to eatĪ dark brown moose with orange antlers, Chocolate did not receive a poem until he was released with a 4th generation swing tag. Tush tags were small fabric tags which initially were white with black lettering (later changed to red lettering) and were attached to the Beanie Baby’s rear end. Poems weren’t introduced until the fourth generation of swing tags. The first generation tags were simple double-sided tags with the name and style number written on the rear. Every Beanie Baby adorned a red heart swing tag with the word “Ty” on the front in white. Ty had a simple marketing strategy, and that was to keep it simple! Each character would only have a few colours of fabric and simple facial features. Originally the critics were sceptical of their appearance, giving them horrific nicknames like “road-kill” due to their somewhat flattened appearance when lying down, but little did they know that Beanie Babies would be a worldwide phenomenon!Īt first, they didn’t catch on, but when they did, they were a global success! Millions of Beanie Babies were sold around the world, with hundreds of different characters coming on to the market.
