The Ty Plush Collection

Curly Gold

Style #: 5302

Please review the hang tag and tush tag pages to understand descriptions (for example: 3B, 5B, 5BVK, 5BKS 5W, 3W.1, 3W.2) used below.

The exhaustive summary of versions below is far more meticulous than necessary to simply enjoy collecting plush.  This is the TyPlushArchive! so every detail must be charted.  I went through the trouble of dissecting every detail of the plush tush tag to fill the gaps where I could not find an example with tag.  For those looking for information for selling purposes, you do not need this level of detail, this is a waste of your time.  Simply list your push with the title stating the tush tag year in the title with pictures of each side of the hang tag and tush tag will be appreciated.

Comparing regular vs. half stuffed

Early in the series there appears to have been a few runs of half stuffed Curly seen above for comparison. The half stuffed are extremely floppy and don’t even hold themselves up.  The face is more flat and the mouth rears up instead of just under the snout. The half stuffed are the right of the two Curly Gold pairs and the set of three on the right.
