As a kid I thought these things were hideous because I only liked realistic-looking stuffed animals. But now as an adult I honestly think some of these lil guys look cute as hell
Same, I remember looking in disgust as they were replacing all the high quality stuffed animals in shops. The fact that they still are number 1 in bootleg toys wasn't helping
one of my first ever beanie boos was spells the snowy owl, and it was the catalyst for my childhood owl hyperfixation. like for years i was the owl kid, every book i could read, photo i could collect. guardians of gahoole was my special interest. all because i was captivated by that sparkly eyed creature in a hobby lobby
this was me and pandas. i got two panda beanie boos on my 9th birthday and it made me SOOO obsessed with pandas. i remember having one with green glittery eyes. she was my partner in crime cs i didn’t have many friends. thank u for sparking that memory!
I was a huge Beanie Boo collector too and still have all of mine, so it's awesome seeing such an in-depth video about them since they were such a big part of my childhood!
Holy Moly!! I know that exact toy store and have been there many times!! The other shop I loved over there as an older kid/teen was the costume mansion. If you know you know. Sac town kids. 😆
i didnt realize beanie boos had such a past and such a big collectors base??? im a casual collector of them and have been since 1st grade!! my first ever beanie boo was moonlight and my mom gave her to me during the walk home from school on my birthday! most of mine are stuffed in boxes (we moved about 8 years ago) but this has inspired me to go and try to find them and dig them out sometime!
im 27 and tbh i subscribed because a lot of these toys i was too old to really have so im rly interested in the lore and stuff. I think its really interesting that theres avid beanie boo collectors, i only really have the fox one but other than that i think i never really appreciated beanie boos because i grew up with beanie babies instead. It makes me happy that there are people who really care about beanie boos, as someone who once thought of them as a soulless cash grab
I was also a huge fan of animal toys when I was a kid! Beanie Boos, Littlest Pet Shop, Puppy in My Pocket, Zoobles, you name it! I also had a huge Beanie Boo collection; Slick and Tasha were especially some of my favorites.
The beanie babies story reminds me of how, in terms of beanie baby “collector prices,” I have two of some of the rarest ones. I got Princess Diana because my nana had her and little 4 year old me was like “Can I have it 👉👈🥺” and she gave it to me. I also got the new millennium beanie baby because I was a good little child at my pediatricians office. I can’t even remember what I did, it might’ve been getting my shots and being a brave little child, but yeah. Also, I remember my first ever beanie boo being Slush the Husky that I got at my local Cracker Barrel. I was like 8?
I'm deep into the OG collection. I searched and hunted for ones I wanted in deep corners. I wanted the princess Diana one because it was purple and I share a birthday with her 💜 Found one for 2 bucks in perfect condition and it's still put away with my huge collection. I love the 00s collection of beanie babies too. If I had space I would 1000% have them all set up. I used to have a VHS tape about a beanie baby convention in 97 and prices of different babies, I watched it so many times....
@@benamisai-kham5892 That’s so cool!! Actually, a few days after I wrote this comment, I found my millennium beanie baby!!!! Still tagged (and I guess relatively mint condition?? Tag itself is a little damaged but the plush itself is fine) I also bought scorch and magic the dragons because they were ones I really wanted so I could make them kiss. Scorch is actually the first beanie baby I got that has an error tag :3
i had a beanie boo with my name and birthday and the animal it was was my childhood nickname, it kinda freaked me out but it’s my only beanie boo i still have out
I kept waiting for you to cut to you on the regular set but it never came. Massive props for shooting the entire video laying on a bed of Boos, excellent commitment to the bit
i remember in third or fourth grade (the 2014 eos era) beanie boos were like the popular girl thing at my school and the popular girls in my class would always just have them sitting out in front of their desks every day. i wanted one so bad it hurt, and on christmas the long-anticipated beanie boo finally made its way to me. i brought it to school every day, and the popular girls did eventually strike up a conversation with me about it, but only once, and i remained very uncool for the remainder of my schooling. (it was either cancun or leona in case you were wondering, i don't remember which one of those came first)
I used to put those keychain beenieboos on bookbag but someone from my elementary school would always steal it from me and it happened so much i stopped asking for them or even putting things on my bookbag at all. The teachers always said i just lost it because they didnt wanna deal with finding out who stole them but I had four of them in a row stolen off my bookbag at school and I know they were stolen because id leave my bookbag in the cubby, come back and my beenie boo was gone. Im still kinda salty about it
I needed this video yesterday! I’ve been a beanie boo collector since a young age, and they have been my favorite toy since. I have made beanie boo videos, beanie boo customs, I have even been a beanie boo for Halloween. I’m so excited that you have made this video because the beanie boo community is a small, but very tight-knit community that has so much talent in its artists and editors. :D Also, my favorite beanie boo is Squeaker the mouse
omg i vividly remember carrying around a teenie boo or whateva it's called in elementary or middle school and then losing it forever during PE class :'3 im pretty sure it was the pink glamour one. im so happy i can finally get her again!! ive been sick as a dog so i really needed this ty dkdjdjsj welcome back glamour ❗❗❗
I have all my beanie babies in a huge storage container in my closet. I'm pretty sure my very first one, Bamboo the Panda (with green eyes), is in there. He unfortunately somehow lost the stuffing that was holding up his neck so now it looks like someone snapped his neck.
I absolutely loved watching this video. I got my first two beanie boos when I was 5 and started collecting them when I was about 8. I invested myself into watching videos like this as a kid, and watching this one brought a sort of nostalgia to me. I still collect them now and have, at this time, 321 beanie boos. They were such a big part of my childhood, and it so cool seeing how far they've come. Your video hit so many informational points and is so well done, fantastic job!
I wouldnt call myself a big beanie boo collector but man did I love these things as a kid. all the ones I have are non sparkle eye normal colored animals like bamboo, safari, peanut, honey, daisy, speckles, waddles, coconut, slush, and my favorite nacho the chihuahua. when they started to get colorful I stopped collecting but I'm glad that I still have all of my childhood ones
me and my brother were avid beanie boo collectors and, if my memory serves me right, i think we had 5 of the original designs. We dropped out OG paddles down the stairs tho and his eye ended up falling out, so my dad made him a little eye patch out of an old sock and we renamed him “one eyed jerry”. Every store we went to i would look for beanie boos and especially during the holiday season i made sure to collect one of the years design. Added bonus being that my birthday is on valentine’s day so i was always swarmed with valentine’s day beanie boos. My brother stopped collecting when they changed to only sparkle eyes and after that i didn’t for much longer either. This video is awesome tho, it’s so cool to see that there are others who adored these little guys the same as i did! (this comment is all over the place, forgive me)
I remember when I was younger I would go on summer vacation with my family and every single time I would buy a Beanie Boo for my friend wherever we were and write little notes telling her stuff like their hobbies and their favourite foods and such, it was actually pretty cute when i think back on it
As a current adult Beanie Boo collector who started when I was like 8 (with my collection currently standing behind me, staring through the mirror), I audibly gasped when I saw this on my home page :') First of all, thank you for making a video about these wonderful things! Secondly, you have quite an impressive collection ^^ When I was a kid, my mom only really bought them for me once every few months or for Christmases and birthdays. I stopped collecting when I was a teenager but resumed again in later years of high school. I had more money and freedom to buy them but I was pickier too so I've managed to amass just 60 Beanie Boos in total but I love almost every single one
Omg I also was a huge collector when I was a kid! I also remember my first experience of getting one and I’m glad you made a video about beanie boos because it’s so nostalgic for me
your fish hooks vid popped up on my recommended and i was obsessed and i went to your channel and omg??? i used to be SO obsessed with beanie boos this just awakened something inside of me like those trade show exclusive chihuahuas had me in a chokehold. my old instagram archive from 2015 is just all beanie boos. this healed my inner child
32:16 Actually, many members of the community hate flippables. They wish they were just regular beanie boos. 33:11 Most people in the community hate this abomination and the giraffe thing. 35:51 TY started removing the horns from uniboos due to them not being as popular.
i have almost 200 beanie babies in my collection atm and i’ve honestly just never been a fan of these. they always felt lack luster compared to the beanie babies. maybe that’s just me !! such a cool vid tho !!
No I was an avid collector of the original beanie babies and I thought as a kid this was a knock off/complete cash grab of the og beanie babies 😂 I never got into these
Man I had a huge collection of these I shared with my brother. Over 100+ iirc and I still get one for special occasions. I had all their names memorized with special lore and drawings. I was even a moderator in this Amino dedicated to them as a kid back in 2017 shit was nuts.
OHHHMMMYYYGGOOODDD HELLO AGAIN. (I can’t even remember my amino username but I’m the creator of it LOLOL) I knew I’d find at least someone from on there in these comments 😭😭😭😭
the pink poodle right above your head (princess) was my absolute favorite stuffed animal as a kid, and i didnt really like beanie boos very much. i got her on easter in like 2nd grade and she is one of the only 3 stuffed animals i still have in my room to this day. she csnt really stand up anymore but shes slumped over on my bookshelf right now
I collect beanie boos! As of now i have 120. And DANG YOUVE GOT SOME RARE ONES! I have noticed how quality has gone down since the beginning. This video is really cool! Edit: yeah that moose my cousins have one! I’m pretty sure the reason why everyone saw it as super rare is because that was one of the first beanie babies released in 1993.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN OBSESSING OVER THEM ON AND OFF FOR OVER 8 YEARS NOW, I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE MADE SUCH A GREAT VIDEO ABOUT THEM THAT COVERS SUCH A LOT OF THINGS. EVEN THE MOBILE GAME!! I don't really have a favorite because I like almost all of them but ones I hyperfixate on the most are probably Reagan, Tabitha, Cashmere and Sophie! I have a soft spot for kitty beanies of any kind :3
Oh God, I had a massive bag full of these growing up. I had no clue they were so hard to get your hands on nowadays! Well, if all else fails, I know what I’m banking on…
my first beanie boo was peanut (not the original 😔) and i got oscar the owl from a claire’s (maybe justice?) that was closing down in like 2017. he only came with one arm (wing?) and i still love him to this day. he served in the beanie boos war
I think I could listen to you talk forever lol. Also I LOVE your makeup style! I used to collect the owl beanie boos & I named them all after characters from Ouran High School Host Club 😂
i first want to say, i’m so happy your videos popped up in my recommended. i love watching them while making art :) regarding beanie boos, i remember my sister got a massive one for her birthday. a unicorn, i think? i threw it down the basement stairs and its eye popped out when it hit the concrete floor. i got in trouble and ran up to my room crying lmaoo. not my brightest or kindest moment. :P
I started collecting when I was 5(2014) and I now have around 500. I am a huge beanie boo lover to this day(it’s literally what my channel is all about lol) and I just think the history is so interesting. When I first saw a beanie boo in store, I immediately fell in love. I do agree with you however. The older beanie boos are WAY better than the newer ones! The newer ones have lazier designs, their not bad but the old ones were ✨PERFECTION✨ and I really wish I hadn’t missed the solid eye era. I have gotten a bunch of solid eyes online, but I have put way too much money into them😅This video was so nostalgic so thank you for making this video! New sub❤️
Oh man the first ever “beanie boo” I got was from the McDonald happy meals LOL. Me and my sister were so obsessed that we kept asking for more. Then we found out they sold small ones (they were the keychains) we went haywire. So we would always come back home with one beanie boo from Michael’s (the craft store). Oh man the lore we made with them including with our monster highs is crazy.. 😭
I turn 27 in 8 days! We are both Jan 10! And now I know the little penguin guy has the same bday as me too! I agree with you as far as rare. I've only met one other person with my birthday in my life, I was maybe 6 or 7, and we met in a grocery store. LOL
OMFG it's so crazy how I recently stumbled upon you!! I also got my first beanie boo (Coconut) in old sac at g wilikers??! I haven't been there in so long. I had/have a special interest in beanie boos (and stuffed animals in general) for my entire childhood. I also happen to be your age and I'm glad to see another ND person making content like this :3🙌🏽
My assumption is that beanie boos kinda fall just to the whole “what toy companies think is cute” thing that’s been happening for years. Which, I think some of the beanie boos fall into that, but a majority of them are just silly little fellas that are abnormal colors.
@@coffeejinx1502 exactly. I used to enjoy beanie boos since I was little, and currently am in love with the orginal beanie babies. Honestly, most of the boos I think are really cute :D
i feel like i missed out on collecting them lmao but i am now regrowing my webkinz collection and have a squish collection. ugh the webkinz bat!!!! my fav
Love to see a video on these guys! They are a little bit after my time, and the only Beanie Boo I own is the Unicorn cat "Heather". I agree that the horns are kind of unnecessary but I love her :)
omg, i loved these as a child!! i completely forgot about them. i remember having duke, hero, lala, leona, rocco, slick, spells and tabitha. my childhood best friend had peanut the elephant (the one with the blue ears), which was probably my favourite one. and i always wanted a penguin one!! good old times
I was an avid Beanie Boo collector from 2014-2019. Stripes the tiger was my very first one. 2015 and 2016 was my prime time for collecting, I used to take them to school and play with my friends. I miss that :((( I can’t believe that was 8-9 years ago now. My last Beanie Boo was Hope the Bear in 2020, the one to raise funds do a COVID relief and it’s so cute! 🩵
my first beanie boo was also iceberg the seal! i had so many in so many different sizes. keychains, jumbos, etc. i used to spend hours organizing and lining them up. but now i find them a little ugly lol. i have douglas stuffed animals now, which are more realistic and don’t have giant, hard eyes that make them uncomfortable to cuddle at night
Dude I used to not be a fan of beanie boos until I got my tiny little hands on the green and purple dragon with rainbow scales. That poor guy never left my side unless I had to go to school or something. I got him when I was like 11 or 12 and I'm 20 now and he still has his special spot on my bed but all his scales are rubbed off and hes very faded. Since I loved Cassardis (my dragon) so much I got literally every other dragon beanie boo I saw when I was shopping, they just look so sad and stumpy and it's so precious
I’ve got 213 of these under my bed rn. My brother and I collected these like crazy. We still a share a room (we’re 17 yo twins btw) and every now and then we take them out and move them around the room to change decor. We’ll never sell them cuz it’s like, our whole childhood
I grew up with the original Beanie Babies, but at the time when they were making mostly animal ones rather than just the bears. I still have a ton of the bears, but the animal ones and their larger versions Beanie Buddies, were my favourite! In fact, I have all 3 sizes of the Patti the Platypus. I remember having a couple Beanie Boppers too, but I was an animal fan. I remember being so excited when I was coming home from a trip and found the blue jay Beanie Baby in the Toronto airport (it was exclusive because of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team). But what I remember most was Webkinz, and when Ty tried their own version with Beanie Babies 2.0. The style of 2.0 was very similar to the original ones, but you can see some of the modernizations they made to their patterns that led to the icon Boos style (larger heads, the coloured irises were becoming more common). By the time Boos came along, I was in high school. I have a couple, but some of the bright colours and the more glittery ones can be a little too much.
I have a pretty large collection of these, not as big as urs tho LOL, and when I tell u I was obsessed with these I mean OBSESSED. My first beanie boos were from 2010-2011- one was the uk exclusive monkey sherbet and she’s soooo cute I even made an amino community for beanie boos- it actually gained over 1000 members and had its own drama and it was literally crazy😭😭😭 That was also in 2016 I think which is insane to think about💀💀💀 So I greatly enjoyed this video!!! It’s so much fun to see long vids about stuff u like so much :333 I still check new beanie boos in shops today lolol My fav beanie boo is probably Dougie but also Sherbet of course cuz she’s my ride or die🤞🤞🤞
slush has the same birthday as me, so i collect slush boos (i have the giant one!!) i was like really little at the tail end of the beanie baby craze and one of my earliest memories is getting a beanie in my happy meal, so there's a nostalgia factor there. boos are so cute tho, i have my slushes and a few others :)
We i went to cornwall i remember there being a ty shop that sold rare beanie boos and babies and normal ones im not sure if its still open now, but thats how my collection started
I always wanted one of these but was told it was too expensive. I got one recently, say hello to ace! He lives on my keys and he''s a beanie bellies, so he has paws
Will never forget when I was at the thrift store, had just started collecting beanie boos, and seeing kiwi in a bag of plushies for 60 cents, but choosing some beanie babies instead cause i thought he looked ugly...you can imagine how pissed off I was when i found out how much he was worth 😭😭
I collected beanie boos for so many years (1st grade to about 9th grade and im currently a high school senior) I don't have my whole collection anymore, but at it's peak I had around 120 of them! I just kepts my favorites and I plan on keeping them forever! My first one was an older slush the huskey and he's still my favorite :)
I also used to be a huge collector of beanie babies and beanie boos. My dad used to always bring a beanie boo back home for me when he'd go on business trips so they each give me memories too. I have a lot of favorite beanie boos, but my top ones are Tuffy, Pugsly, Scraps, Cookie (She was my first one), Princess, Nacho, Fetch, Rootbeer (Mine came with a crooked leg that I used to make a split/cast for him to wear to "correct" it) and Slush. I also have a Kiwi one I got about a year ago, I had two, but I gave one two, but I gave one to a friend and I kinda regret it because I'm not as close to that friend anymore and I gave him the one I had that still had it's tag. I also thought this was interesting to mention, but coming up on a year now I found a Webkinz bat at the thrift shop with it's code still attached and I freaked out over it because I love bats!
Nostalgia videos like this one make me a little sad. My mom had me get rid of 90% of my stuffed animals when we moved and when we moved again I lost most of my LPS I think. I had so many build a bears, beanie boos, and beanie babies
When I was a kid I was so obsessed with Beanie Boos my brother and I started a “Beanie Boo Club” where we were the only two members and we’d just sit on the floor with whatever ones were our favorites at the time say our say secret club motto 😭❤️
i remember getting a jumbo squishmallow when they first started coming out, i got the calico cat one for like $15. now you can’t get a regular sized one for less than $20
Lula, my dad has the birthday of the 10th January! You're definitely not alone! I was too old for the Beanie Boo craze but my little brother and cousins had heaps!
I love watching your videos, they’re so incredibly comforting, but every time you mention your age on certain dates I’m reminded that I am 5 years older than you and I feel so ancient. 😂 In another video you mentioned being in middle school the year I graduated and I was like “I’m ancient, I’m a grandmother. 🙃
My first beanie boo was either Ollie or glamour, idk when I got Ollie but I got glamour for Easter when I was 5… I didn’t rlly start collecting until I was around 7. When I was 10-13 I had a couple beanies which I would call “the crew” and it consisted of 8 beanie boos which I played with and took them everywhere I’d go (Slush, slick, tala, dougie, sherbert, cherry, Tasha, and lindi). Recently I had to re-stuff them because the stuffing in their necks were starting to be limited, so their heads would kinda bobble 💀. Looking back on the years I religiously played with the beanies, I noticed how ruthless I was with them😅. Kiki and lovsey’s left eye came out of their eye socket from me throwing them around, dotty’s nose is missing a corner from it and her eyes have no sparkle is them, and lastly Tasha’s nose came out of its place 😭I definitely loved a couple of my beanies to pieces…
i suddenly got into watching these videos (because i love these kinds of vids..) but as soon as i saw a new video i clicked even though i was five hours late😭😭
My first and forever favourite Beanie Boo is the solid eyed Muffin the Cat, I've had her since I was 6 and while she's... definitely seen better days from me literally taking her EVERYWHERE, I love her more than words can express. I got Lindi the Cat and Cancun the Chihuahua too not long after (who I did keep in almost mint condition), but didn't start collecting Beanie Boos until about 2 years ago when I found Spells the Owl, and I now have over 200! Also - Just yesterday I found out that there are versions of at least some Uniboos without the horn, for example Heather, but I'm guessing they're pretty rare since I'd never seen them before
I too absolutely despise the flippables, only one I ever bothered buying was karma the chameleon coz that's actually a cool concept. Also my fave beanie boo is cinder coz she was the first dragon

I used to think they’re hideous and still think they’re hideous 😭😭 no hate to people who like them I’ve just never gotten it
Exact same here. I still prefer more realistic animals but I love some of the new ones they're releasing!
i still hate them 😭😭😭 the huge plastic eyes seem so uncomfortable to cuddle with to me
Theres realistic lookin beanie boos aswell its just the colors but uh..(meadow the fox is the beanie boo i want the most So i think it works lol)
one of my first ever beanie boos was spells the snowy owl, and it was the catalyst for my childhood owl hyperfixation. like for years i was the owl kid, every book i could read, photo i could collect. guardians of gahoole was my special interest. all because i was captivated by that sparkly eyed creature in a hobby lobby
this was me and pandas. i got two panda beanie boos on my 9th birthday and it made me SOOO obsessed with pandas. i remember having one with green glittery eyes. she was my partner in crime cs i didn’t have many friends. thank u for sparking that memory!
Oh my gosh you’re literally me
SPELLS WAS ALSO MY FIRST BEANIE BOO
I have Spells too. I got msot of my beanie boos when I was around 6-10, now I am 20 and I still sleep with them, lmao.

My mother in laws the same. But she still has her beanie baby's too. Her house is any kids wet dream
same lol, I thought “hmm.. I should collect something.” and those were the first things that came to my mind, but now i’m a squishmallow hoarder
I have beanie boos and squishmallows because I can’t let either of them go 💀
omg i vividly remember carrying around a teenie boo or whateva it's called in elementary or middle school and then losing it forever during PE class :'3 im pretty sure it was the pink glamour one. im so happy i can finally get her again!! ive been sick as a dog so i really needed this ty dkdjdjsj
welcome back glamour ❗❗❗
I was a beanie boo HOARDER as a kid and I had a whole cult
same honestly lol
I have all my beanie babies in a huge storage container in my closet. I'm pretty sure my very first one, Bamboo the Panda (with green eyes), is in there. He unfortunately somehow lost the stuffing that was holding up his neck so now it looks like someone snapped his neck.

I wouldnt call myself a big beanie boo collector but man did I love these things as a kid. all the ones I have are non sparkle eye normal colored animals like bamboo, safari, peanut, honey, daisy, speckles, waddles, coconut, slush, and my favorite nacho the chihuahua. when they started to get colorful I stopped collecting but I'm glad that I still have all of my childhood ones
my obsession for these turned into my obsession for literally any plush collection with sparkly or colorful variations into my young adulthood😭😭
me and my brother were avid beanie boo collectors and, if my memory serves me right, i think we had 5 of the original designs. We dropped out OG paddles down the stairs tho and his eye ended up falling out, so my dad made him a little eye patch out of an old sock and we renamed him “one eyed jerry”.

Added bonus being that my birthday is on valentine’s day so i was always swarmed with valentine’s day beanie boos. My brother stopped collecting when they changed to only sparkle eyes and after that i didn’t for much longer either. This video is awesome tho, it’s so cool to see that there are others who adored these little guys the same as i did! (this comment is all over the place, forgive me)
I remember when I was younger I would go on summer vacation with my family and every single time I would buy a Beanie Boo for my friend wherever we were and write little notes telling her stuff like their hobbies and their favourite foods and such, it was actually pretty cute when i think back on it
As a current adult Beanie Boo collector who started when I was like 8 (with my collection currently standing behind me, staring through the mirror), I audibly gasped when I saw this on my home page :') First of all, thank you for making a video about these wonderful things! Secondly, you have quite an impressive collection ^^ When I was a kid, my mom only really bought them for me once every few months or for Christmases and birthdays. I stopped collecting when I was a teenager but resumed again in later years of high school. I had more money and freedom to buy them but I was pickier too so I've managed to amass just 60 Beanie Boos in total but I love almost every single one
Omg I also was a huge collector when I was a kid! I also remember my first experience of getting one and I’m glad you made a video about beanie boos because it’s so nostalgic for me
your fish hooks vid popped up on my recommended and i was obsessed and i went to your channel and omg??? i used to be SO obsessed with beanie boos this just awakened something inside of me like those trade show exclusive chihuahuas had me in a chokehold. my old instagram archive from 2015 is just all beanie boos. this healed my inner child
32:16 Actually, many members of the community hate flippables. They wish they were just regular beanie boos.
33:11 Most people in the community hate this abomination and the giraffe thing.
35:51 TY started removing the horns from uniboos due to them not being as popular.
i have almost 200 beanie babies in my collection atm and i’ve honestly just never been a fan of these. they always felt lack luster compared to the beanie babies. maybe that’s just me !! such a cool vid tho !!
No I was an avid collector of the original beanie babies and I thought as a kid this was a knock off/complete cash grab of the og beanie babies 😂 I never got into these
@@seaweed_tea yes !!! I love beanie babies for the way they look which is more on the realistic side. these are a total one eighty from that lmao
Man I had a huge collection of these I shared with my brother. Over 100+ iirc and I still get one for special occasions. I had all their names memorized with special lore and drawings. I was even a moderator in this Amino dedicated to them as a kid back in 2017 shit was nuts.
OHHHMMMYYYGGOOODDD HELLO AGAIN. (I can’t even remember my amino username but I’m the creator of it LOLOL)
I knew I’d find at least someone from on there in these comments 😭😭😭😭
@@dwaekkbini LMFAOOOO long time no see fr. this is sage 😭
@@chunkiemilk5197 I went as lizzie, owlette and doge idk if u remember one LOLOLOLLL HIIII
@@dwaekkbini I DO lol. Good to see u again
just wanted to say as a kid who grew up obsessed with lalaloopsies, your profile pic brings me immense joy
the pink poodle right above your head (princess) was my absolute favorite stuffed animal as a kid, and i didnt really like beanie boos very much. i got her on easter in like 2nd grade and she is one of the only 3 stuffed animals i still have in my room to this day. she csnt really stand up anymore but shes slumped over on my bookshelf right now
BEANIE BOOS YESSSSS!!!! I have a few Beanie Boos in my pile of plushies. I'm so glad you brought them up.
I collect beanie boos! As of now i have 120. And DANG YOUVE GOT SOME RARE ONES! I have noticed how quality has gone down since the beginning. This video is really cool!
Edit: yeah that moose my cousins have one! I’m pretty sure the reason why everyone saw it as super rare is because that was one of the first beanie babies released in 1993.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN OBSESSING OVER THEM ON AND OFF FOR OVER 8 YEARS NOW, I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE MADE SUCH A GREAT VIDEO ABOUT THEM THAT COVERS SUCH A LOT OF THINGS. EVEN THE MOBILE GAME!!
I don't really have a favorite because I like almost all of them but ones I hyperfixate on the most are probably Reagan, Tabitha, Cashmere and Sophie! I have a soft spot for kitty beanies of any kind :3
Oh God, I had a massive bag full of these growing up. I had no clue they were so hard to get your hands on nowadays! Well, if all else fails, I know what I’m banking on…
Subscribed! I loved these goobers as a kid (though i was terrified of their eyes ironically)
Ah TYSM for using my request!!! 💗
I was one of the (probably many) people that requested this on the google form 😼😼
you started listing the stuffies that came out during the second(?) american release and the flood of memories that came back was w i l d
my first beanie boo was peanut (not the original 😔) and i got oscar the owl from a claire’s (maybe justice?) that was closing down in like 2017. he only came with one arm (wing?) and i still love him to this day. he served in the beanie boos war
I think I could listen to you talk forever lol. Also I LOVE your makeup style! I used to collect the owl beanie boos & I named them all after characters from Ouran High School Host Club 😂
i first want to say, i’m so happy your videos popped up in my recommended. i love watching them while making art :)
regarding beanie boos, i remember my sister got a massive one for her birthday. a unicorn, i think? i threw it down the basement stairs and its eye popped out when it hit the concrete floor. i got in trouble and ran up to my room crying lmaoo. not my brightest or kindest moment. :P
OMG! These were my favorite plushes... Well, after Webkinz of course! LOL I only had a handful, but I loved them so much:,)
You’re literally one of my new favorite TH-camrs I love your editing and you’re so funny keep up the good work 🙏🙏
I started collecting when I was 5(2014) and I now have around 500. I am a huge beanie boo lover to this day(it’s literally what my channel is all about lol) and I just think the history is so interesting. When I first saw a beanie boo in store, I immediately fell in love. I do agree with you however. The older beanie boos are WAY better than the newer ones! The newer ones have lazier designs, their not bad but the old ones were ✨PERFECTION✨ and I really wish I hadn’t missed the solid eye era. I have gotten a bunch of solid eyes online, but I have put way too much money into them😅This video was so nostalgic so thank you for making this video! New sub❤️
Oh man the first ever “beanie boo” I got was from the McDonald happy meals LOL. Me and my sister were so obsessed that we kept asking for more. Then we found out they sold small ones (they were the keychains) we went haywire. So we would always come back home with one beanie boo from Michael’s (the craft store). Oh man the lore we made with them including with our monster highs is crazy.. 😭
I turn 27 in 8 days! We are both Jan 10! And now I know the little penguin guy has the same bday as me too! I agree with you as far as rare. I've only met one other person with my birthday in my life, I was maybe 6 or 7, and we met in a grocery store. LOL
OMFG it's so crazy how I recently stumbled upon you!! I also got my first beanie boo (Coconut) in old sac at g wilikers??! I haven't been there in so long. I had/have a special interest in beanie boos (and stuffed animals in general) for my entire childhood. I also happen to be your age and I'm glad to see another ND person making content like this :3🙌🏽
1:04 omg I love the toy emporium they have such good stuff
i’m still an active collector and customizer of beanie boos! Just bought Frost for $120 and i think i may be going mad, but i love them!!
I still have a ton of these little guys. I just love them, as much as the original Beanie Babies okay??💓✨️💖
will never understand the beanie boo hate
@lulaloopsey Yeah... some even say that they're "the downfall of Ty," which isn't true.
Also, FINALLY, SOMEBODY ELSE WHO ADORES THE BEANIE BOOS!! 💕🫂💖
My assumption is that beanie boos kinda fall just to the whole “what toy companies think is cute” thing that’s been happening for years. Which, I think some of the beanie boos fall into that, but a majority of them are just silly little fellas that are abnormal colors.
@@BarkTheGoblinI mean you're right, but people can't act like two legends can coexist.
@@coffeejinx1502 exactly. I used to enjoy beanie boos since I was little, and currently am in love with the orginal beanie babies. Honestly, most of the boos I think are really cute :D
GIRL I LOVE YOUR MAKEUP IN THIS VID 💕💕
When you said you loved the valentine and Halloween themed plushies I was so excited. You’re so cool
Omg, I love that little store you mentioned at the beginning! That was weird seeing it mentioned in a video 😅 /pos
i was an absolutely obsessive beanie boo fan LMAO. i have so many and i only keep a single one (midnight, my favourite) in my room
the horn ones and sequins were a DISGRACE and make me want to get violent
i feel like i missed out on collecting them lmao but i am now regrowing my webkinz collection and have a squish collection. ugh the webkinz bat!!!! my fav
Love to see a video on these guys! They are a little bit after my time, and the only Beanie Boo I own is the Unicorn cat "Heather". I agree that the horns are kind of unnecessary but I love her :)
Babe wake up! Lulaloopsey made a new video!!
omg, i loved these as a child!! i completely forgot about them. i remember having duke, hero, lala, leona, rocco, slick, spells and tabitha. my childhood best friend had peanut the elephant (the one with the blue ears), which was probably my favourite one. and i always wanted a penguin one!! good old times
I was an avid Beanie Boo collector from 2014-2019. Stripes the tiger was my very first one. 2015 and 2016 was my prime time for collecting, I used to take them to school and play with my friends. I miss that :((( I can’t believe that was 8-9 years ago now.
My last Beanie Boo was Hope the Bear in 2020, the one to raise funds do a COVID relief and it’s so cute! 🩵
my first beanie boo was also iceberg the seal! i had so many in so many different sizes. keychains, jumbos, etc. i used to spend hours organizing and lining them up. but now i find them a little ugly lol. i have douglas stuffed animals now, which are more realistic and don’t have giant, hard eyes that make them uncomfortable to cuddle at night
Dude I used to not be a fan of beanie boos until I got my tiny little hands on the green and purple dragon with rainbow scales. That poor guy never left my side unless I had to go to school or something. I got him when I was like 11 or 12 and I'm 20 now and he still has his special spot on my bed but all his scales are rubbed off and hes very faded. Since I loved Cassardis (my dragon) so much I got literally every other dragon beanie boo I saw when I was shopping, they just look so sad and stumpy and it's so precious
I’ve got 213 of these under my bed rn. My brother and I collected these like crazy. We still a share a room (we’re 17 yo twins btw) and every now and then we take them out and move them around the room to change decor. We’ll never sell them cuz it’s like, our whole childhood
I grew up with the original Beanie Babies, but at the time when they were making mostly animal ones rather than just the bears. I still have a ton of the bears, but the animal ones and their larger versions Beanie Buddies, were my favourite! In fact, I have all 3 sizes of the Patti the Platypus. I remember having a couple Beanie Boppers too, but I was an animal fan. I remember being so excited when I was coming home from a trip and found the blue jay Beanie Baby in the Toronto airport (it was exclusive because of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team). But what I remember most was Webkinz, and when Ty tried their own version with Beanie Babies 2.0. The style of 2.0 was very similar to the original ones, but you can see some of the modernizations they made to their patterns that led to the icon Boos style (larger heads, the coloured irises were becoming more common). By the time Boos came along, I was in high school. I have a couple, but some of the bright colours and the more glittery ones can be a little too much.
I have a pretty large collection of these, not as big as urs tho LOL, and when I tell u I was obsessed with these I mean OBSESSED. My first beanie boos were from 2010-2011- one was the uk exclusive monkey sherbet and she’s soooo cute
I even made an amino community for beanie boos- it actually gained over 1000 members and had its own drama and it was literally crazy😭😭😭 That was also in 2016 I think which is insane to think about💀💀💀
So I greatly enjoyed this video!!! It’s so much fun to see long vids about stuff u like so much :333 I still check new beanie boos in shops today lolol
My fav beanie boo is probably Dougie but also Sherbet of course cuz she’s my ride or die🤞🤞🤞
ok i was not expecting you to do the WHOLE video like that
When i was little i loved beanie boos even had a beanie boo themed party so this video brought so much nostalgia to me :3
slush has the same birthday as me, so i collect slush boos (i have the giant one!!) i was like really little at the tail end of the beanie baby craze and one of my earliest memories is getting a beanie in my happy meal, so there's a nostalgia factor there. boos are so cute tho, i have my slushes and a few others :)
We i went to cornwall i remember there being a ty shop that sold rare beanie boos and babies and normal ones im not sure if its still open now, but thats how my collection started
babe wake up lulaloopsey uploaded
I was just in downtown sacramento today and hearing you say that made me stop everything I was doing for a sec
I always wanted one of these but was told it was too expensive. I got one recently, say hello to ace! He lives on my keys and he''s a beanie bellies, so he has paws
Will never forget when I was at the thrift store, had just started collecting beanie boos, and seeing kiwi in a bag of plushies for 60 cents, but choosing some beanie babies instead cause i thought he looked ugly...you can imagine how pissed off I was when i found out how much he was worth 😭😭
I forget you live in NorCal and i love how you mentioned downtown. I grew up going to that toy shop haha
Ayyyye- My birthday is also January 10th!! Happy early birthday
omg plsss do a video on ty girls!! That was my entireeeee childhood
I collected beanie boos for so many years (1st grade to about 9th grade and im currently a high school senior) I don't have my whole collection anymore, but at it's peak I had around 120 of them! I just kepts my favorites and I plan on keeping them forever! My first one was an older slush the huskey and he's still my favorite :)
0:54 I LIVE SO CLOSE TO THERE WHENEVER I HEAR ANYONE TALK ABOUT IT I GET JUMPSCARED
I also used to be a huge collector of beanie babies and beanie boos. My dad used to always bring a beanie boo back home for me when he'd go on business trips so they each give me memories too. I have a lot of favorite beanie boos, but my top ones are Tuffy, Pugsly, Scraps, Cookie (She was my first one), Princess, Nacho, Fetch, Rootbeer (Mine came with a crooked leg that I used to make a split/cast for him to wear to "correct" it) and Slush. I also have a Kiwi one I got about a year ago, I had two, but I gave one two, but I gave one to a friend and I kinda regret it because I'm not as close to that friend anymore and I gave him the one I had that still had it's tag. I also thought this was interesting to mention, but coming up on a year now I found a Webkinz bat at the thrift shop with it's code still attached and I freaked out over it because I love bats!
Nostalgia videos like this one make me a little sad. My mom had me get rid of 90% of my stuffed animals when we moved and when we moved again I lost most of my LPS I think. I had so many build a bears, beanie boos, and beanie babies
When I was a kid I was so obsessed with Beanie Boos my brother and I started a “Beanie Boo Club” where we were the only two members and we’d just sit on the floor with whatever ones were our favorites at the time say our say secret club motto 😭❤️
i’m 2 days younger than you and we definitely had the same childhood i love that our age group is making nostalgic retrospectives on stuff now
i remember getting a jumbo squishmallow when they first started coming out, i got the calico cat one for like $15. now you can’t get a regular sized one for less than $20
I’m watching this on January 10… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉
AAAH THANK U 🫶
Lula, my dad has the birthday of the 10th January! You're definitely not alone!
I was too old for the Beanie Boo craze but my little brother and cousins had heaps!
I love watching your videos, they’re so incredibly comforting, but every time you mention your age on certain dates I’m reminded that I am 5 years older than you and I feel so ancient. 😂 In another video you mentioned being in middle school the year I graduated and I was like “I’m ancient, I’m a grandmother. 🙃
I never knew these fuckers names but my friends were OBSESSED with them and had so so many it always amazed me they were so cute
The Halloween beanie boos were just everything, I have almost all of them!
my favorite will always be Beanie Babies and i have a much bigger collection of them than i do Beanie Boos but i do also adore Beanie Boos lol
your videos are very cool and i also like the video that you did about LPS(Littlest Pet Shop).
I'm old enough to remember when Justice was called Limited Too and Beanie Babies were the ultimate sign of elementary school popularity 😅
My first beanie boo was either Ollie or glamour, idk when I got Ollie but I got glamour for Easter when I was 5… I didn’t rlly start collecting until I was around 7. When I was 10-13 I had a couple beanies which I would call “the crew” and it consisted of 8 beanie boos which I played with and took them everywhere I’d go (Slush, slick, tala, dougie, sherbert, cherry, Tasha, and lindi). Recently I had to re-stuff them because the stuffing in their necks were starting to be limited, so their heads would kinda bobble 💀. Looking back on the years I religiously played with the beanies, I noticed how ruthless I was with them😅. Kiki and lovsey’s left eye came out of their eye socket from me throwing them around, dotty’s nose is missing a corner from it and her eyes have no sparkle is them, and lastly Tasha’s nose came out of its place 😭I definitely loved a couple of my beanies to pieces…
19:47 i had fluffy and i remember the shock i felt when i realized she had a mane and therefore was actually a boy… 😭😭
i suddenly got into watching these videos (because i love these kinds of vids..) but as soon as i saw a new video i clicked even though i was five hours late😭😭
4:35 these are fucking amazing and so cuteee!! CHONK!! They need to bring them back
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch! Keep it up!! May Yah be with you and your loved ones!!❤🌹🍒❤️
wow, all this time I thought that beanie boos were yoohoo plushies... the more you know!
My first and forever favourite Beanie Boo is the solid eyed Muffin the Cat, I've had her since I was 6 and while she's... definitely seen better days from me literally taking her EVERYWHERE, I love her more than words can express. I got Lindi the Cat and Cancun the Chihuahua too not long after (who I did keep in almost mint condition), but didn't start collecting Beanie Boos until about 2 years ago when I found Spells the Owl, and I now have over 200!
Also - Just yesterday I found out that there are versions of at least some Uniboos without the horn, for example Heather, but I'm guessing they're pretty rare since I'd never seen them before
I too absolutely despise the flippables, only one I ever bothered buying was karma the chameleon coz that's actually a cool concept. Also my fave beanie boo is cinder coz she was the first dragon
I’m 19 and i’m a male i’ve a fan of TY beanie boos as far as I can remember, because they’re so adorable, I still collect them to this day
Furbies and Beanie Boo’s carried my life from 4-7
omg you just reminded me that i have the ghost beanie boo. i gotta find them now.
