History YMMV / BeanieBabies

** Due to the infamously inflated secondary market in The90s and its subsequent burst, it's popular to compare fads with similarly inflated markets such as [[Toys/FunkoPop Funko Pops]] and [[UsefulNotes/{{Bitcoin}} NFTs]], with Beanie Babies.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: The 30th anniversary beanies that have little-to-no color differences between them and the originals, such as Zip II and Dottie II. Some collectors still appreciate them for their softer fabric, while others dismiss them as lazy and uninspired.

--> I'm not so mean, I'm really shy\\

* TearJerker: The End Bear's poem:
--> All good things come to an end\\

* MemeticMutation: Runner's "mean" poem for being absurdly ''brutal'':

** 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.

** 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 UnintentionalUncanyValley thanks to her flesh-colored fur.

** Goochy is another popular beanie for his goofy design and unique fabric, which is noticeably soft and shimmery.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Scorch and Magic are both very popular for being cute dragons, and are often depicted in fanart.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Ty, Inc. sold plush toys since 1986, predating Beanie Babies by seven years.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Ty, Inc. had a plush toy line since 1986, which was gradually phased out once Beanie Babies became popular.
** They still have a plush toy line called "Classic Ty". It's just that they're not as well-known and they're mostly sold seasonally.

* PainfulRhyme: The rhymes in the poems are often very rudimentary or obtuse. Perhaps the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} is a bear named The End, whose poem tries to pass off "to an end" and "everyone" as a rhyme.

* FunnyMoments: Runner the Mongoose's "mean poem":
-->I'm not so mean, I'm really shy
-->But every cobra has to die
-->I grab them by their little head
-->And whack them till they're stone cold dead!!

* TheyJustDidntCare: A possible explanation for the monkey business they pulled with Iggy the Iguana and Rainbow the Chameleon. The first Iggy was rainbow-colored and the first Rainbow was ''blue and green'' (despite its poem calling it a "colorful fellow"). The two kept switching fabric ''and tags'' back and forth for a while before it was finally straightened out to have Rainbow in rainbow colors and Iggy in blue and green.
