Hii I wanted to ask if you know about this! So I have a bunch of beanie boos/TY and one of them is kinda a different shape and size? According to the internet it's Spotter the leopard from 2012. Idk what year my other beanie boos are from but is this one a different series or were they like that earlier or something? His eyes are also not the usual glitter but instead more metallic. (I also have photos but tumblr wont let me add them)

Hi! So Beanie Boos were first released in 2009. The first wave of them was exclusive to the UK, and they are actually considered to be the most rare beanie boos!

the original 7 UK exclusive beanie boos, from L to R: Bamboo, Bubblegum, Coconut, Kiwi, Peanut, Slush, and Waddles. Peanut was never released with pink ears after the initial wave.

From 2009-2012 beanie boos did not have glitter eyes, rather they had solid or metallic irises. The first glitter eyed Beanie Boos were released in Mar-June 2012 as Justice store exclusives! They were Duchess the Chihuahua, Glamour the Leopard, Treasure the Unicorn, and Sapphire the Zebra.

Soon after, in 2013, all beanie boos were redesigned to have glitter eyes, and their design was more standardized to what we are now used to from mid 2010’s beanie boos.

Your Spotter the Leopard was released before this global redesign, which is why he looks unique! I love his shape and his floppy legs, he looks less compact and “stiff” than the more modern beanie boos!

Hopefully this gives you a little insight on your Spotter! ^_^

This weird cutie just went to her new home but I wanted to talk about her a bit 🤣

Shes "Collie Parton" from the Very Outrageous Pets (VOP) line by American Bear in the mid/late 80s. The line included her, Donkey Hotey, Mick Jaguar, & Cleocatra.

Each have outfits fitting their character, sadly mine was missing her outrageous pink dress with big breasts 🤣. (Screenshot from chelsea-collies.com)

I found very little info online about this line, but im so curious about why they were made and if they were popular? Mine had a fashion lane tag for like $44 in 1985. I've only seen the Donkey Hotey one aside from this one too.

My makeup looked pretty until I cried my heart out after seeing the boy and the heron.

the only reason I haven't unfollowed watcher is because I desperately need to know what they're going to do. I feel like they can't just ignore the backlash, as a LARGE amount of their fans are upset right now. out of the HUNDREDS of comments/tweets/tiktoks I've seen about this, I've maybe seen less than 5 positive reactions.

so to me, there are only two options for them. backpedaling or doubling down. either will likely be a disaster that I want to watch happen.

if they DO ignore it, that to me just says "we don't care about what our followers think" which is enough to make me no longer want to support them.

I just want to see if they just try to post normally after this cause I just really feel like that's not an option here.
