Spangle the Bear Blue Face Plush (9") - Ty - Original Beanie Babies Series - (1999)

Spangle the Bear is a distinctive patriotic Ty Beanie Baby that brings classic Americana styling to the Original Beanie Babies collection. Measuring approximately 9 inches, this blue-faced version features a pale blue head with black button-style eyes and a large black nose. His ears use contrasting patriotic patterns, with a red-and-white striped left ear and a navy blue right ear decorated with white stars. The body continues the stars-and-stripes theme, combining red-and-white stripes with blue fabric covered in white stars, while a red-and-white ribbon around his neck completes his festive appearance.

Spangle's swing tag lists his birthday as June 14, 1999, and celebrates his pride in the stars and stripes. The blue-face version was introduced on October 21, 1999, and retired on December 23, 1999, making it a short-lived release from the late-1990s Beanie Babies era. Spangle is particularly notable for being the first Beanie Baby to use two distinct patterned fabrics and for being produced with three head-color variations: blue, pink, and white. With its unusual mixed-fabric construction and patriotic styling, this bear makes an eye-catching display piece for vintage Ty collectors and USA-themed collections.
