These Hot Wheels Cars are way more valuable than some real cars that you can buy.

Each Beanie Baby also comes with two special tags — a cute heart-shaped ‘swing tag’ at the top and a little fabric ‘tush tag’ at the bottom. Over the years, these tags have evolved and even started featuring short poems and birthdays for each toy. With so many new versions coming out all the time, some older Beanie Babies have become quite hard to find. Here’s a list of collector’s favorite toys.

Updated on May 8, 2025, by Emily McElroy: Ah, Beanie Babies: possibly the toy that has caused the most divorces in the history of the planet.

These are some of the rarest Beanie Babies ever made.

Piccadilly Attic

Over $100,000

Piccadilly Attic is probably the bear with the most variations in worth. This adorable little clown bear can go for $5 to $13 normally – if it’s a normal version of Piccadilly Attic. But you might have noticed how bright this bear is. It’s covered in colors – and being covered in colors raises the chance for it to become covered in mistakes.

Versions of Piccadilly Attic that have mistakes in coloration raise the price tag beyond anything you can imagine. Versions of Piccadilly Attic have gone for well over $100,000. If you have one of these clowns, take another look at them. Their errors may not just be clowning around.

Batty

$7,000

Eep! Don’t be scared. It’s just Batty. Batty the Bat is an adorable brown bat that’s ready to fly into your heart – or your collection. He’s also one of the most valuable Beanie Babies ever made. Curious how?

The thing that makes Batty valuable is that a ton of Battys were made with an extra foot. This extra foot raises the price level from ‘great’ to ‘really great’. Some people may be frightened of bats, but this Batty is one bat you’d like to welcome.

Jolly The Walrus

$250

Isn’t this just the jolliest little walrus you ever saw? Jolly the Walrus was designed for Father’s Day in 1996. This walrus may be jolly, both in personality and name, but you’ll be quite jolly when you see how much he’s worth.

The End

$229.99 – $1274.99

There’s something about endings that always gets people. Whether it be out of sadness or happiness, endings always kick up emotions. When the last Beanie Baby was announced in 1999, people went wild. While Ty eventually changed its mind and kept creating toys, the bear known as The End still drives people wild.

The End may look like a simple black bear, but this bear can go for tons of funds. Current estimates range from $229.99 to 1274.99, which is a giant range, but of course, mistakes and condition can impact the value. Either way, The End may have been a harbinger of the end of Beanie Babies, but we’re glad it wasn’t.

7

Chef Robuchon

$8,000 – $14,000

Did you know that there is an exceptionally rare beanie babe called Chef Robuchon the Bear that collectors go absolutely nuts over? This adorable little bear was made in honor of the fancy French chef Joël Robuchon when one of his restaurants opened in New York City in 2006. Only about 200 of these Chef Robuchon bears have been produced since they were just handed out at the restaurant’s opening.

Because there are so few of them, and they’re connected to such a famous chef, these little Chef Robuchon bears have become incredibly valuable to collectors.

6

Princess The Bear

$800 – $1300

The Princess Diana Beanie Baby, you might know it as ‘Princess the Bear’, has quite a rep as one of the most sought-after and high-value collectibles out there. Princess Di’s bear remains on folks’ radars because owning it is like holding a slice of history in your hands. For most, hunting down Beanie Babies is a trip down memory lane and the Princess bear is a toy that pulls at the heartstrings.

Disney VHS Tapes Worth A Fortune Today

These Disney VHS tapes are said to be worth a fortune.

Launched in 1997, this bear was Ty Inc’s heartwarming tribute to Princess Diana. Initially, every store got a limited number of bears to sell, which gave the impression that they were in short supply. The media played up this angle and stores added fuel to the fire with their particular promotions, making folks think the bear was an exclusive item. In no time, secondary market prices shot up.

5

Bubbles

$30,000 – $129,000

Back in ’96, this cute little fella named Bubbles hit the scene, and oh boy, did he make waves! Throughout its production, a few tweaks here and there led to some errors. When you’re talking Beanie Babies, it’s these little oopsie moments that drive up the value of these products.

You see, these glitchy guys are often worth more because they’re, well, unique. With Bubbles, his early debut and later edits make him a bit of a rarity — a diamond in the rough of the Beanie Baby world if you will. So, if you’ve got a top-condition Bubbles, sporting his original tags and looking dapper with no wear-and-tear, you’re sitting on a pot of gold.

Scoop The Pelican

$300 – $500

What’s Scoop’s claim to fame, you ask? It’s the goofs on his tags! Typo on his tag, wrong production dates — you suggest it, Scoop’s got it. Making his debut in 1996, our friend has sported a few differences over the years, even down to what type of stuffing he’s got — PVC vs. PE. But here’s the kicker: it’s precisely these minor alterations that make every Scoop a one-of-a-kind wonder.

Beanie Baby collectors are always looking for these unique Scoops — they’re like the hidden Easter eggs of Beanie Babies. Prices skyrocket when a rare or flawed version becomes available. So if your Scoop the Pelican has a distinctive tag or quirk, then you’ve hit a goldmine. Our pal Scoop the Pelican, with all his idiosyncrasies and unique pedigree, is undoubtedly riding high on this wave.

3

Sparky The Dalmatian

$200 – $250

Sparky the Dalmatian is a popular pup in the Beanie Baby world. It’s a teeny, huggable pup with traditional black spots on a white base, and was only around for a bit in 1996, which makes it quite sought-after thanks to its appealing design. The brief time it was in production makes it all the more attractive, mainly because there aren’t a ton of Sparkys out there.

Beanie Baby collectors are sticklers for tag errors and unique features, and they don’t mind shelling out high dollars for them. That’s where Sparky comes in: its scarcity and unique charm as a Dalmatian Beanie Baby means it’s on many collectors’ wish lists. This cute little puppy was first called Dotty, after which it was renamed Sparky. However, some of the tush tags still say Dotty, which totally drives up the price of these dolls.

Lefty And Righty

$1,800 – $45,000

If you’re a fan of both politics and cute collectibles, these are definitely your must-haves. These are the perfect blend of cuddly and serious. Lefty and Righty were made to represent the Democratic and Republican parties, which adds an extra layer of collectability to these.

Lefty the Donkey wears dark blue material covered in white stars on his left side and red and white stripes on his right side, embodying the colors and symbols of the American flag. Righty is a white elephant sprinkled with red and blue stars. What makes these extra-special is the fact that Hillary Clinton actually autographed a pair of these in 2006.
