** Beanie Babies would often go through several different variants before making it to market, sometimes with drastic color differences compared to the final product. The site [[https://rarestbeans.com/ Rarest Beans]] documents several known prototypes that have found their way into circulation one way or the other. Some standout examples include Inch originally having a [[https://rarestbeans.com/2022/11/28/inch-the-worm-felt-antennas-pastel-prototype/ pastel color scheme]] and Nana (later Bongo) going through at least ''fifteen'' different color combinations.
** Some Beanie Babies never made it past the prototype phase and ended up scrapped completely. Some of the most notorious examples include a [[https://rarestbeans.com/2021/12/09/the-picasso-teddy-bear-prototype/ vivid tie-dyed bear]] [[FanNickname nicknamed]] the "Picasso Bear", a [[https://rarestbeans.com/2022/12/08/the-dollar-teddy-bear-prototype/ bear made with US dollar-patterned fabric]] (speculated to be a proto-Billionaire Bear), a [[https://rarestbeans.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/rgw_proto.jpg shaggy bear]] using similar fabric to the later Punkies line, and an [[https://i.postimg.cc/Cx0nsqyM/various-beanie-baby-prototypes-i-found-on-ebay-v0-sttyu5q9cj1c1.jpg unknown purple squid]] whose design was never re-used for any other Beanie Baby.
