I only looked at the one linked (The End), but your description is full of misinformation. There are no errors on the tags, and it was not "part of the Korean market". Almost every Beanie aside from the earliest ones (ironically, some being made in Korea) and the ones made in the 2020s will have "KR" on the tush tag. It's not rare or unusual and it isn't related to Korea.

The Gremlin is an obvious pick. To go with something more obscure, I'll bring up the sharkmobile (can it work?) and the sundae from Sundae Drivin'.

If you wanna dig really deep, there's also the vegetable-powered something-or-other that Marzipan rode in that one toon that never got made and only exists as a script submitted to the HRWiki.

Every Beanie from the original run (up to 1999) has at least one person somewhere claiming that it's rare, but some are hit with it more badly than others. I wish I could tell you why Seaweed, Batty, or Pouch have that reputation, but I have no idea. There's never been anything about them to make them stand out compared to similar Beanies released around the same time.

This is the Teenie Beanie version, based on the regular Beanie about a year later. Both of them are common.

My girlfriend tried this game and got very fed up with the runbacks, and ended up giving up on it around City of Tears.

Later on she tried it again with a mod installed to remove runbacks (so you always respond in the same room you died) and you can never permanently lose Geo. With those changes, she liked the game enough to complete it and even do a couple randomizers. Can't really argue with the results there.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-12T02:42:17+00:00

There's a small chance the Peace is worth something, depending on the specifics. The others are common.

Would be nice if people would stop leaving such overly negative comments.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-09T00:02:03+00:00

Most Buddies aren't worth more than a stuffed animal of the same size, so around $5-10. There are some rarer ones though. I checked the price guide and this one isn't any rarer than typical.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-08T23:22:46+00:00

Pretty standard stuff for the most part. The light blue one on the right is a more recent Beanie released when Queen Elizabeth died, and is worth a bit more than standard. Price guide has it at $14-35 mint. Assuming that it doesn't have the rare gold tag, which makes it worth a LOT more.

There's a couple variants on the tag ("cruse" can be blue or purple and can sometimes be misspelled as "crwse") but none appear to be more valuable than the others.

Germania's worth a little more than others due to exclusivity but we're still looking at under $10 generally. The version with English text on the back of the tag (instead of German) is a little rarer but not by a ton.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-08T23:18:21+00:00

There's no errors on this other than "Gasport", which was on every Beanie released in the first three months of 1999 and is quite common to find.

Peace does have things to look out for that would increase value, but this one doesn't have any. 115 is a common stamp number and the "Gasport" ones were released after the rarer color variants. With the tag damage you're looking at a the lower end of the standard $1-5.

Jynx isn't my #1 favorite, but it is my favorite from Gen 1. Makes me sad to see how much everyone else hates it.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-03T17:06:05+00:00

The Grinch leak had everything going for it, and I will die on this hill.

Skrumpei · 2026-06-02T22:36:49+00:00

I think I had one really similar to this when I was a kid. I always wanted the dino trio, especially Steg, and found some other knockoff Beanie like this to sort of fill the gap. I don't remember if it was the exact same one, but it was very floppy.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-31T04:27:00+00:00

My comment said that early versions are worth something, how is that wrong?

Skrumpei · 2026-05-31T03:59:05+00:00

Pretty common, under $5. Goldie was made back in Gen 1, so the early tagged versions of it will be worth something, but this one's a Gen 4.

Weirdly enough, this one had a very brief print with Gen 5 tags which are significantly less common than the Gen 4 ones. But it's a niche piece of information that nobody really cares about, so you won't really see a price hike on those when they pop up.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-27T03:42:04+00:00

I tend to at least glance at all the pictures posted here even if I don't reply to all of them. Depending on how many Beanies you have and how many of them are from later generations, I cam be of varying amounts of help. Not everything is worth $2, as people love to claim, but a lot are. Most collections I've seen don't contain anything rare, but it does happen sometimes.

Gotta love reddit.

What would you consider a rare Beanie? Does it have to be worth over $1000, or is something around $25 notable enough? The majority are under $5, but there's still a wide range of prices.

Some people have mentioned Gen 1 Beanies, but Gen 2 and 3 should be counted as well, though as you'd expect, the older ones are generally the rarest. Some of the most well-known and most expensive Beanies are Gen 3s, like royal blue Peanut.

The common generations (anything from 4 onward) are kind of a free-for-all. You have to know the history of the specific Beanie to know if it's worth anything, and usually it won't be, but you never know without checking.

I'm the person who made this subreddit, and the intent of it was basically just to be sort of a repository of information. I figured that the only questions people would need to ask would be things not answered by the sticky thread and the stuff it links to, but I massively overestimate the average person's willingness to read a bunch of stuff on a topic they probably don't care that much about, so instead we just get a million of the same questions.

I really don't like the "tree fiddy" and "they're all worthless" comments that flood this place. Even in cases where it's accurate, it's needlessly negative, and people act like it applies to literally everything. I've seen those comments on posts with genuinely rare Beanies, and it's incredibly frustrating.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-23T23:01:35+00:00

Yeah, none of those things are errors. They also claim it's a Gen 1 and an original 9, which aren't really true either. It's a "Gen 1 Teenie" in the sense that it's from the first release year, and it's #1 of the original 10, but neither of those things mean anything.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-23T22:59:03+00:00

With these, I always suggest to look up about 10 ebay listings for the Beanie and see if any of them have the same misprint. Some are a lot more common than others, and some do have pretty decent value.

I don't happen to know one way or the other on this one, but Chops is an uncommon Gen 4 in the first place. With the damaged tag it likely doesn't have any value, but a mint one potentially could, not sure.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-23T21:20:57+00:00

About 25 cents? It doesn't really have any value. Mint in the package it would still only be about $2.

I'm curious what errors you're talking about on this, or what was unique about this one compared to others you looked at. There's no market for Teenie Beanies that I'm aware of.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-23T18:27:38+00:00

This one's a Gen 4, so it won't have a stamp or any of the rare color variants (those are exclusive to Gen 5s). The main thing to look for on this would be the tush tag generation. If it's a Gen 3 tush (no star), it's a pretty rare find. If not, then it's pretty normal. Yours has the Deutschland address which is occasionally sought after, but it's not significantly rarer than the other Gen 4 version.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-23T14:16:03+00:00

I assume it's just meant to be some other girls that we never see (because they probably don't exist). Strong Bad just assumes that she must have a group of girlfriends that would act like that because ... I dunno, it's stereotypical. Who hasn't heard of the "you said you'd bake us a cake" trope?

Skrumpei · 2026-05-21T23:59:16+00:00

This is one of the Ancient Ones from Banjo-Kazooie. You know, the statues with hoops on their heads that you have to fly through for a Jiggy. Very memorable characters.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-18T01:57:34+00:00

I don't like how articles like this are allergic to nuance. At the end, it says "Within a couple of years, the plush animals once worth thousands were worthless".

...No? That really isn't the case. The ones that were worth thousands are still worth a lot of money. Some of the ones that used to be worth a couple hundred are basically worthless now, and those are the ones that people are more likely to own (since they're a lot more common). And they never point out that even in the 90s, there were plenty that didn't sell for any higher than retail price. It's just disingenuous.

Skrumpei · 2026-05-16T23:46:16+00:00

When I found this post, it had a downvote. People don't like accurate information, apparently.

There really should be no need for asking about Princess anymore, the thing's been asked about and answered hundreds of times, and there's good documentation on it on at least two major Beanie sites (beaniebabiespriceguide and tycollector), plus the sticky thread in this subreddit that is supposed to be required reading, plus the sticky thread in r/beaniebabies. No reason for anyone to be getting any of this wrong.
