1990 Ty plush are identifiable by their 1990 dated tush tags. They were initially write in orders in 1990 then officially introduced in the next annual catalog as “The 1991 Collection”.

They were released with 2nd generation hang tags for the 1990-1991 production year. second generation tags continued until the conclusion of 1994.  

Starting in 1990 Ty expanded his designs of Teddy bears to the Max.  People love cats but also LOVE BEARS!  and if you make them in assorted colors they will buy every last one!

The cats gained Patches, and the dogs gained Yorkie, Winston, and Super Scruffy.

The seated bears went through a radical design change which is much more familiar to styles seen to this day.

Tygger now comes in white.

Petunia replaces Arnold again!

THE BEARS!
