You’ve got to try a Ty Teddy Bear! Teddy Bears are a common sighting at Ty, Inc, a popular manufacturer of plush toys. Company founder, Ty Warner, has been selling his line of stuffed animals since 1983, actually starting with a Himalayan Cat inspired from his days in working in Italy. This experienced peddler of plush really hit it big with his Beanies Babies in 1993, a line of collectable small plush toys available in a menagerie of animals. With cute names, birthdates and even clever poems on their hangtags, Beanie Babies have become a pop culture phenomenon. Pocket sized and priced for young consumers, collecting Beanie Babies has quickly become a passion for young and old alike.

 Without a doubt, the bears in the Beanie Baby family were proven top sellers time and time again.  To the fancy of fans, Ty, Inc. began making these highly sought after teddy bears to fit every imaginable theme. You can now find Ty teddy bears to fit practically any occasion; bears representing countries, states and cities; teddy bears that serve as mini mascots for sports teams; and teddy bears that symbolize holidays, relief efforts and even famous people.

With Beanie Babies as a proven hit, who could resist their larger siblings, Beanie Buddies, similar in cuteness and collectability but just a bit larger and easier to snuggle. Once again, teddy bears proved popular and today the company continues to introduce many new loveable teddy bear friends. But that is not all; Ty, Inc. also creates traditional and realistic-looking teddy bears in the Ty Classic line and infant-approved and ultra-cuddly teddy bears in the Beanie Baby line. With Ty, Inc., you’ll never be with out a teddy bear by your side!
