The Ty Plush Collection

GINGER

Style #: 1005

Please review the hang and tush tag pages to understand the descriptions below.

Ginger the cat was first introduced in the 1988 Flyer along with Angel #1001, Peaches #1003,  Smokey #1007, and Licorice #1009. This was the first series of long-haired cats after the retirement of the 1986 plush cat line. 

The exhaustive summary of versions below is far more meticulous than necessary to 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 the tag.  For those looking for information for selling purposes, you do not need this level of detail; this is a waste of your time.  List your push with the title stating the tush tag year, pictures of each side of the hang tag, and the tush tag will be appreciated. 

Please review the hang and tush tag pages to understand the descriptions below.
