The Ty Plush Collection

JAKE

Style #: 7001

Jake was first produced in 1987  and introduced in the 1988 Flyer. 

Jake has an interesting journey.  For most of our collecting, years 1996-2023, we knew him as the regular size “JAKE” and the larger “BIG JAKE” also tagged as “SUPER JAKE” as featured in the 1988 flyer.  The first big surprise was when regular size Jake popped up tagged as “JAKE JR.” in 2017.  Then the EARTH SHAKING find was in 2023 when a small heart “SUPER JAKE” was found … but tagged as  “JAKE”?!?!?  Aha! The original name scheme was regular sized “JAKE Jr.” and the larger “JAKE”  So it appears the names transitioned as follows:

JAKE Jr./JAKE

JAKE Jr./SUPER JAKE

JAKE/ BIG JAKE

JAKE Jr. & “JAKE” Small heart

Small Heart Tush tag paired with the 1A hang tag.

Jake the monkey or to be scientific Jake the Ape was first released in 1987 in a white style titled “Jake Jr.” Later the Jr. was dropped and he was just Jake. The versions to follow were Jake white, Jake auburn, Jake brown, and Jake chocolate.

Chronology of Super Jake
1) “JAKE” Small Heart
2) “SUPER JAKE” 1A 1988
3) Big JAKE
4) BIG JAKE 2g

The chronologic variations of Jake are illustrated with the three columns for the versions distributed at any given time.  The first two Jake white were distributed before jake auburn or brown were released.  The first version for jake auburn with the 1b style hang tag has not been located at this time.  There additionally should be a 2a version of the original style for each jake featured here with the TYWL hang tag.
