Abby [6027] designed by Linda Harris and introduced in the 1995 catalog with 2nd generation hang tags.  She is 8" tall and wears a burgundy neck ribbon in the earlier generations, maroon corduroy overalls in the fifth generation and the same corduroys with a flower applique in the 6th generation.  She was retired in May of 1998.

Allura [6058] is an sweet 8" nappy brown bear with a long shaved snout.  She is wearing a tightly fitting red one-piece swimsuit and carries a blue and white vinyl life preserver over her right shoulder.  Allura was introduced with 7th generation hang tags in May, 1999.  Her tag says "Sunny Days are Here Again."  She was retired on March 15, 2000.

Amethyst [6131] was introduced in early 1998 with 6th generation hang tags.  She is 13" tall and a smaller version of Ivory dressed in a lavender velveteen jumper with a pink rosette on it.  She was retired on July 31st, 1998 soon after she was introduced making her a very collectible cat.

Amore [6206]   is a 9" long white pot-bellied bear reminiscent of Sally Winey's creations.  He has an embroidered red heart saying I Y U and wears a long coordinating red ribbon around his neck.  Amore was released in January, 2000 with 7th generation hang tags. He has close set black eyes with an embroidered "notched bear" nose and black paw accents.  His hang tag says "With All My Heart!"  He was retired on March 15, 2000.

Armstrong [6226]   was introduced the last week of June, 2000.  He is a triplet to Scarlet and Marigold.  All three bears are 8" with nappy fur.  They have close-set black eyes and have a traditional "notched" embroidered nose.  Armstrong is simply adorned with a sheer navy blue neck ribbon edged with gold.  His 7th generation hang tag says, "And a Tuppence in My Shoe!"

Azalea [6093] is an 8" plush lavender bunny introduced for the 1999 New Year.  She has two-toned blue rimmed eyes, clear whiskers, white paw pads, and a lavender neck ribbon. Her 7th generation hang tag says "Hare Today - Gone Tomorrow."  She was retired on April 28, 2000.

Azure [6055] is a stunningly beautiful 8" bear with vivid hues of blue and auquas highlighting her soft fur.  She is so much prettier in real life than can be seen from her pictures, but at least it shows her unique coloring.  Azure's face appears to be similar to Camelia with a happy-go-lucky grin.  She wears a similar neck ribbon too, except hers is a blue color.  Azure was introduced in May, 1999 with a 7th generation hang tag declaring "I'm Blue Without You." She was retired on May 22, 2000.

Baron [6225]    is a dapper light yellow 8" bear with close-set black eyes and black embroidered accents.  He is wearing a zippered leatherette bomber jacket with the "ty" heart logo embroidered on the back.  He was the hands down winner of the best style of the introduction.  Baron's 7th generation hang tag says, "Fly High!"

Barry [6073] appeared only in a Spring, 1997 Flyer to retailers and never officially made it into the Ty, Inc. catalogs.  He is a lovely 11" bear similar to Cassie and wears a burgundy knit sweater.  He was retired in the summer of 1997 almost right after his introduction making him one rare bear indeed!

Basil [????]

Beargundy [6205]    was introduced in the Fall of 1999.  Beargundy is 9" tall and has shiny burgundy colored fur with an elongated shaved snout and close set black eyes.  He is wearing a burgundy neck ribbon lined with gold thread.  He has spindly legs with big feet.  The fur on this bear is similar to the new type of fur first seen on Azure.  He was a very welcome addition to the Attic family.  His 7th generation hang tag says "Bear With Me."  He was retired on May 22, 2000.

Bearkhardt [6204]    is a darling 8" tall tan bear with a shaved snout and close set black eyes.  He has short stubby legs with black paw accents.  Bearkhardt is dressed in a striking red knit sweater with a green heart and check pattern.  His 7th generation hang tag says "You Make Things Bearable!"  He was retired on May 22, 2000.

Bearington [6102] was introduced in early 1998.  He is a large 14" plush bear with dangly feet.  His wears a large brown and black neckbow.  Early versions of Bearington have a nappy plush, but the later versions are more "silky".  Bearington was retired on September 20, 1998.  Although Bearington was retired in the 6th generation, his 7th generation "Be My Bow" hang tags have appeared on the Canadian bear, Mackenzie!

Beezee [6088] is one of the new 1999 introductions to the Attic line.  He is an adorable 8" bear wearing a bee costume.  He has a few different variations to his costume with the width of the stripes.  He was retired on 12-12-99.  

Berkley [6218]    was introduced to the Attic collection in January, 2000 amid much discussion.  He, along with five other Attics, deviate from the traditional definition of the Attic Treasure line in that he is not jointed.  Berkley is an 8 inch tall brown nappy bear with bent legs.  He has brown stitching accents which includes a large grin stretching from one side of his shaved muzzle to the other.  He wears a sheer crimson bow with gold accents.  Berkely's 7th generation hang says "Love is the Answer!" Berkley was retired on 8-23-2000.

Beverly [6210]    was introduced to the Attic collection in January, 2000.  She is a 10" long tan bear with bent knees and ankles.  She has a round matching "cottontail" on her tush.  Like Amore, she has the classic bear nose and no mouth.  Her nose and paw stitching is medium brown and she has large close set black eyes.  Beverly wears a white satin and mesh neck ribbon embellished with gold.  Her 7th generation hang tag says "You Have Me In A Whirlwind."

Birch [6232]    was first discovered in the U.K. by collectors looking for the new 2000 summer Attics.  He commanded a high price for US collectors until he was officially announced as a regular style in September, 2000.  He, along with his twin Greyson, are a continuation of the non-jointed Attics that collectors, as a whole, have been unhappy with.  Birch has large "mouse-like" ears and is made of a sparse ratty brown fur that probably was supposed to simulate the sparse mohair used on artist Teddy Bears.  He has an embroidered traditional notched bear nose and is adorned with a simple sheer brown ribbon edged in gold.  His 7th generation hang tag says, "Growing Old Gracefully!"

Blarney [6215]    was introduced in January, 2000 with 7th generation hang tags.  As soon as his picture was released on the Ty site, there was speculation that he was a recycled Tyra, and indeed, as soon as he was in hand, observant collectors found the tell-tale signs of loose threads up by his right ear and some even reported finding the red string where Tyra's pom-poms were once attached.  Blarney measures 8 inches tall, is made from napped golden brown fur, and has a shaved snout.  He has black close-set eyes and wears a green knit sweater with a white four-leaf clover embroidered on it.  His 7th generation hang tag says "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!"  A few Blarneys have also been released still wearing the Tyra hang tag.

Benjamin [6023] was introduced in the 1995 catalog with 2nd generation hang tags.  He is an 8" bunny and can be found with either a pink neck bow or his green striped v-neck sweater.  His 2nd generation hang tags can be found with the "beanie babies collection" listed on his tag.  Benjamin was not produced again until the 5th generation and was retired in 1997. 

Bloom [ 6122] is a 13"  tall white rabbit with long dangly ears and legs dressed in a flattering vegetable print dress with a teal collar.  She was introduced in early 1998 and was retired a few months later in May.

Bluebeary [6080] was the most sought addition when he was introduced in early 1998.  He is a darling nappy little 8" bear in a light blue color wearing a light blue neck ribbon.  He was officially retired on 5-11-99 with 7th generation hang tags.

Blush [6208]  This adorable 8" tall (11"with ears) scruffy pale pink bunny is the cutest (in my opinion) of the January, 2000 releases.  Blush has a dusty rose embroidered nose, mouth, and paw accents with black close-set eyes.  She wears a double bowed pink ribbon trimmed with gold side accent.  Her 7th generation hang tag says "You Make Me Blush!"

Bonnie [6075] was introduced in early 1998 and has been dubbed the "loser" of the line, although the little 9" scraggly yellow chick with the blue checked bonnet does have her supporters, especially in the spring time.  Bonnie was mercifully retired on April 28, 2000.

Boris [6041] the pot-bellied bear was introduced in 1995 as a larger version of Ivan.  He is 12" tall and wears a green striped knitted sweater.  He can be found with both the brown tush tag and with the red and white early 5th generation tush tag.  Boris was retired in 1997.

Breezy [6057] an adorable 8" cream colored bear with longer shiny fur.  She wears a navy blue sailor dress with the traditional squared white collar with blue stars in the corners.  Her ensemble is complete with a navy blue bow attached to the front of her right ear.  Breezy has a shaved snout and black stitching on her paws and nose.  Her 7th generation hang tag reads "Ahoy Mate!"  Breezy was introduced in May of 1999.  She was retired on May 22, 2000.

Brewster [6034] is one of the doggy brother trio introduced with 2nd generation tags.  The naked versions of the dogs were among the few Attics who did not come with neck ribbons or any other adornment.  Brewster is 8" tall with brown shaggy fur.  In the later generations, he came dressed in blue and white pinstriped overalls with or without blue buttons.  He was retired in 1997. 

Brisbane [6052] is a grizzly fellow from "Down Under" who was introduced to the Attic line in May, 1999.  He is a 9" long with a large shaggy head with white tufts of hair in in front of his  white ear linings.  His fur is two-toned brown and white.  Brisbane has a white furry chest and slightly longer white hair on his chin.  He has a large triangular felt nose with large black eyes set on white felt background.  His 7th generation hang tag says "G'Day Mate."  He was retired on May 22, 2000

Bugsy [6089] One of the 1999 new issues, Bugsy is one of the last to show up on the store shelves.  He is a darling 8" bear dressed in a ladybug outfit.  Bugsy was officially retired on 7-29-99.

Calliope [6230]   was introduced at the end of June, 2000.  She is an adorable blue 7 1/2" tall bear (without her jester "horns") dressed in a bright yellow and red striped jester outfit.  Calliope has dark black close-set eyes and a black embroidered nose.  Her turquoise paw pads have no accents on them.  Calliope's 7th generation hang tag says, "Surely You Jest!"

Camelia [6094] another of the New Year's introductions, Camelia is a charming 8" tall melon colored bunny with a cheery smiling face.  She sports the 7th generation hang tag and wears a matching satin ribbon around her neck.  Camelia was retired on May 24th, 1999 just a mere few months after her release.

Carlton [6064] was first introduced with 5th generation hang tags.  He appears to be the big brother to Dexter, sharing a similar coloring and nap.  He is a large 15" bear and can be found with both the brown tush tag and the early red and white  heart 5th generation tush tag.  Early on, he was naked with a neck ribbon, but more commonly is found in his blue and white pinstriped overalls.  Carlton was retired in 1997.

Carson [6216]    is another of the non-jointed bears introduced in early 2000.  He appears to be a cross between a Beanie and the more traditional Attics.  Carson is 8 inches tall wearing a sheer beige neck ribbon with gold edging.    He is structurally identical to and wears the same insipid smile shared by Hayes, Harper and Berkely.  His 7th generation hang tag says "You're as Sweet as Honey," the same sentiment shared by Cody.  He was retired on July 6, 2000.

Casanova [6073] was introduced with 6th generation hang tags and is a Henry Brown lookalike.  He wears a white sweater with a red heart.  Casanova was retired from the Attic line on March 31, 1999.

Cassie [6028] is the darling of the attic line.  She was first introduced with second generation hang tags and was later dressed in a blue velveteen jumper with a pewter button and a matching bow in her ear.  She is 11" high and is made of the same soft fur as Barry.  Cassie was officially retired in 1997, but last Fall, she was shipped en masse to several retailers and was snatched up quickly by eager collectors causing her value to drop dramatically on the secondary market.

Catrina [6054] was introduced in May, 1999.  She is a lovely 8 inch tall white cat with blue two-toned eyes and a pink horizontally stitched nose.  Catrina's hang tag spells her name Katrina.  Only time will tell which is the correct version.  She is dressed in  an olive green shiny green velveteen jumpsuit with a rose appliqué' on a green bow.  Her hang tag says "Feline Fine"  She was retired on May 22, 2000.

Cawley [6090] is one of the 1999 New Year "non-traditional" introductions.  He's a darling 9" black crow wearing light blue overalls with a straw style sun-hat.  Although collectors were leery of him at the time of introduction, Cawley has quickly gained acceptance.  He was retired on May 22, 2000.

Charles [6039] is big brother to Dickens.  At 12". he is a large taupe colored pot-bellied bear wearing plum colored overalls with or without gold buttons.  Charles was retired in 1997 along with all of the other large attics of his time.

Checkers [6031] One of the more enduring members of the Attic family, Checkers was first introduced with second generation hang tags and no clothes.  In the 5th generation, Checkers got a rust colored sweater vest that he promptly lost in the 6th and 7th generations.  Checkers was retired on May 3, 2000 making him one of the most long produced Attic of the whole collection.

Chelsea 6070] was first released with 5th generation hang tags and has always had her tan and burgundy striped turtleneck sweater.  She is a somewhat shaggy bear with a very sweet expression on her face.  She is similar to her "brother" Christopher and was released at the same time.  She was retired on 9-20-98 and is quickly disappearing from the shelves.

Cheri [6200]  was added to the Attic collection in the Fall of 1999.  She is an adorable 8"doggie wearing a French beret on her head.

Clay [6233]    was introduced at the end of June, 2000 along with his look-a-like siblings, River and Fern.  He's an 8" bear with long straight burnt orange fur. He has the larger head and wide gusset associated with the Merrythought Bears in the UK.  Clay has brown two-toned eyes and a shaved snout.  He has a black notched embroidered nose and a smiling mouth.  He is adorned with a sheer matching neck ribbon.  Clay's 7th generation hang tag says, "Leave It To Me!"

Clifford [6003] is considered by many collectors to be the "Grandaddy" of all the attics.  He was first introduced with "Printed in Hong Kong" tags and is 12" tall.  His golden fur can be found both flat and plush.  When he was first produced, he was made with a humpback to denote the old-fashioned theme of the line, but was quickly changed to a straight-back bear.  He wears a green ribbon aorund his neck and can only be found with 1st generation hang tags.

Clyde [6040] was introduced in 1996 as a big brother to Cody.  He is a 12" pot-bellied bear and can be found either naked or with a maroon sweater vest.  He was retired in 1997.

Cody [6030] looks like a smaller version of Clyde.  He was introduced in 1995 with 2nd generation hang tags and has been one of the few attics to never obtain clothing.  He is 8" long with the same pot-belly as Clyde.  He was retired on May 22, 2000.

Colby [6043] is one of the most popular members of the Attic family.  She (or he) is a 12"tall mouse dressed in pink velveteen bloomers with a single pearl button.  Colby was retired in 1997, but has recently reappeared on the shelves in several parts of the country, but this time without her button.  Colby can also be found naked, usually with a red and white tush tag.

Copperfield [6060] was at one time, relatively unpopular, but has enjoyed a resurgance as one of the more sought after retired Attics.  At 16", he is one of the tallest of the collection.  With his blue sailor collared sweater and his long dangly legs, he's a hard one to put down once you've picked him up.  Copperfield was officially retired in 1997.

Cromwell [6221] is the first mouse in the collections since the retirement of Squeaky in 1998.  He is non-jointed with the same structure as the bears: Berkley, Carson, Hayes, and Harper.  He is a mauve-pink color with tasteful gray paw pads and top stitching and gray stringy whiskers.  He wears a little tacked on navy blue bowtie.  Cromwell's 7th generation hang tag says "The Mice Will Play."

Easton [6217]    was introduced in June, 2000 and joins the non-jointed styles of Attics.  He is supposed to be a Panda bear, but came off as a thin scraggly thing with panda coloring, but that's where the resemblence ends.  He is wearing a maroon satin bowtie with an oriental motif.  Easton's 7th generation hang tag says, "Good Fortune To You!"

Ebony [6130 & 6063] was first introduced in 1996 along with her companion, Ivory.  She was initially released with 5th generation hang tags, a red and white tush tag, and a maroon neck ribbon.  Later in the 5th generation, she was dressed in burgundy bloomers with a white satin rose on them.  Before she was retired in 1997, she appeared without the rose.  In 1998, Ebony was given a new life, a new style number of 6130, and shrunk 2 inches to a height of 13", but otherwise, looked the same. Little Ebony was retired on July 31, 1998.
