History Main / TheScrappy

* With how long-running and infamous ''Toys/BeanieBabies'' are, it should come as no surprise that there are some Beanies (and {{Spin Off}}s thereof) that collectors turn their noses up at.
** Graduation owls were the original Scrappies among collectors. They tend to be more stiff compared to regular Beanie Babies and they tend to have "Class of (year)" embroidery that heavily dates them. It doesn't help that they were massively overproduced, even by the standards of other mid-late [[TheNineties 90s]] Beanies.
** In general, Ty's human-based plushies and lines thereof tend to be maligned due to veering into the UnintentionalUncannyValley. The Beanie Kids/Boppers in particular are disliked due to their soulless eyes and grins, selling for basically nothing on the secondhand market. Funnily enough, the clothes meant to tie-in with them are ''more'' valuable than the Boppers/Kids themselves, as they are able to fit most standard-sized Beanie Babies.
** Beanie Boos, the eventual successor to the original Babies line, are [[ContestedSequel quite divisive among collectors]]. However, there are some Beanie Boos that even the most ardent of Boo collectors won't defend:
*** The so-called Uniboos, Beanie Boos that are regular animals with unicorn horns (i.e. Helena the Unicorn Husky) are loathed even among fans of Beanie Boos, as many find their horns to be tacky and unnecessary. The sole exception is Grindal, as the horn looks less unnatural on him due to being a dragon. Eventually, Ty began releasing hornless versions of previously-released Uniboos.
*** The long-necked Boos, sometimes known as Ostrich Boos, are similarly reviled for their odd, ugly appearances. Camilla in particular is loathed for going into the UnintentionalUncannyValley thanks to her flesh-colored fur.
*** The Squish-a-Boos line, later renamed to Squishy Beanies. They are hated due to clearly being made to [[FollowTheLeader capitalize on]] the popularity of ''Toys/{{Squishmallows}}'' and having designs that are best described as "colorful [[OnlySixFaces sameface]] limbless blobs" (even Squishmallows tend to have embroidered limbs and details). The only sought-after Squish-a-Boo is the 21st Billionaire Bear, and even then that's less so due to its design and more so because it's an employee-exclusive Billionaire Bear.

* '''A single hated character''': The Scrappy, as an {{Audience Reaction|s}}, only applies to individual characters. Hated works, products, or real people do not count. Groups don't count either as they are not characters, and each character could vary in individual popularity (unless said group is small enough that all of its members can feasibly be judged Scrappies on their own). [[labelnote:Example]] The [[Franchise/DespicableMe Minions]] seem to be quite hated for being annoying comic relief characters who are constantly shoehorned into everything related to Creator/{{Illumination}}, but since they are an entire race of beings, they cannot be considered Scrappies because it isn't fair to judge every single one of them.[[/labelnote]] Things like vehicles, weapons, or locations aren't characters either, so they cannot be Scrappies unless [[AnimateInanimateObject they're portrayed as sentient and have some characterization]].[[labelnote:Example]][[Website/{{Neopets}} Neopia Central]] has a reputation for being boring among players, due to having neither a theme like the other places nor many games. However, it is a place, not a character, and therefore doesn't count.[[/note]]

* '''Hated by the majority of the audience''': If they have about as many fans as detractors, even if the latter [[VocalMinority are more obvious]], that's a BaseBreakingCharacter. Examples of AmericansHateTingle and GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff similarly don't count, as they have fans somewhere. [[labelnote:Example]][[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Hiyoko Saionji]] is incredibly hated by English-speaking fans due to being a cruel bully whose actions are too mean-spirited to be entertaining, to the point that someone only familiar with that part of the fandom could easily assume she's an example, but she's well-liked in the franchise's native Japan, which disqualifies her.[[/labelnote]] Someone not personally liking a character is not this (unless it's a ShowWithinAShow example). For a character to truly be considered a Scrappy, even the SilentMajority has to dislike this character.
