For the sayings on the current 7th gen hang tags, click here
King [6049 & 6140] 
was introduced along with
Prince in 1996. He was first introduced with 5th generation hang tags and was
approximately 9" big. He first came out naked with a red and white tush tag,
but was soon adorned in a burgundy velour cape tied at his neck with a ribbon.
Little King was retired in 1997, but the very next spring, he was reintroduced in a larger
11" version.
Laurel/Holly [6081] 
was recently introduced on September 30, 1998. She was one
of the last of her group to appear on the store shelves and first appeared with 7th
generation hang tags. A VERY few Laurels snuck through with 6th generation hang tags
and the name "Holly" on them. The Holly/Laurels may prove to be as rare,
if not MORE rare, than the Whisker/Woolies. Laurel was sadly retired just a few
months later on 12-31-98. She is a beautiful little 8" green bear wearing a
burgundy Victorian collar.
Lawrence [6053] 
was the most interesting Attic released in May, 1999. He is
a darling camel with intricate detail measuring 7" in height by 8" in
length. He has brown nappy fur on his legs and body embellished with tufted
brown fur on his chest, at the top of his head, and at the top of his hump.
His feet are golden brown velvet which matches the material on his snout and tail.
Lawrence is adorned with a velvety "Persian" rug camel saddle and shoelace
reigns. His 7th generation hang tag says "I Won't Leave you High and Dry."
Lily [6037] 
is an adorable little
9" grey and white lamb who was first brought to the Attic line with 2nd generation
hang tags. She is found in the early generations wearing a pink satin neck ribbon,
but in the 5th generation was dressed in burgundy velour overalls with unique silver
buttons. Lily was retired with 6th generation hang tags in May of 1998.
Mackenzie [6999] 
the
bear was a surprise to us all when he appeared on the shelves in Canada in the Winter of
1998. He looks like Grant, except instead of the US flag, he wears a Canadian maple
leaf on his sweater. At this time, Mackenzie has not been recognized on the TY
Internet site and appears to be exclusive to Canada.
Madison [6035] 
was
introduced in 1995 with 2nd generation hang tags. She is a sweet 9" black and
white cow with horns and wears a red neck ribbon in her early generations and blue and
white striped overalls with and without blue buttons in the 5th generation. She was
retired with 6th generation hang tags in May of 1998 and is quickly becoming one of the
more popular attics on the secondary market.
Malcolm [6026] 
first
came to the Attic family in 1995 with 2nd generation hang tags. He was designed by
Nola Hart, who also designed Cassie, and indeed, Malcolm is very like Cassie in structure
and feel. He is an 11" medium brown bear wearing either a burgundy neck ribbon
or a red, white, and blue sweater with a large collar. Malcolm was retired in 1997
with 5th generation hang tags.
Malcolm [6112] 
was reintroduced in May, 1999, but the name seems to be the only
thing that he has in common with Malcolm 6026. He stand 12 inches high without his
fur hat which adds another 3 inches to his height making him one of the tallest of the
recent attics. He is dressed in the garb of the "Queen's guards" wearing a
red coat trimmed in yellow with black and gold edging on the collar and sleeves. It
is belted at the waist with a black belt with velcro closure. Malcolm's hat is made
of synthetic fur and has a neck chin although the hat itself, is attached to his head by
string. His 7th generation hang tag says "March to a Different Drum."
Mason [6020] 
is a small 8" shaggy
brown bear cut in a mold similar to Fraser. He was first introduced with 2nd
generation hang tags in 1995. Early Mason's can be found wearing a burgundy neck
ribbon while later on, he was dressed in a green knit sweater with white stripes and a
wide collar. Mason was retired in May, 1998.
Montgomery [6143] 
the
moose was one of the "non-traditional" additions to the Attic family in the
Spring of 1998. He is a large 15" moose wearing a tan safari vest. He was
introduced with 6th generation hang tags and was quickly retired on September 20,
1998. He was not one of the more popular guys.
Morgan [6018] 
is a
dear little monkey who was first introduced in 1994 with 1st generation hang tags.
He is a small, 8" brown monkey. In his earliest form, Morgan had a round furry
face and wore a navy blue neck ribbon. He was missing from the Attic line in the
middle generations, but reappeared wearing 5th generation hang tags and an off-white
fleece vest with a wooden button. He was retired in the 6th generation on July 31,
1998
Murphy [6033] 
is
one of the dog trio introduced with 2nd generation hang tags in 1995. He is a small
8" with light tan fur and can be found either naked or with his characteristic blue
jean overalls with little baseball buttons. Murphy, along with his other dog
brothers, was retired in 1997.
Nicholas [6015] 
was first introduced with
1st generation hang tags in 1994. First generation Nicholas are difficult to tell
from the highly coveted White Gilbert, but in truth, mint 1st gen Nicholases are perhaps
even more rare. Although they share the same style number, White Gilbert and
Nicholas are indeed separate entities. Without the hang tag, it is still possible to
tell them apart by the wording on their 1st generation black and white tush tags.
White Gilberts will say "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" while Nicholas' tag will read
"SURFACE WASHABLE". Early Nicholas sported a red neck bow, but in the 5th
generation, he was dressed in a red sweater with a large white heart in the middle.
Nicholas was retired on July 31st, 1998 wearing 6th
generation hang tags. He was selected by the first annual "ty collectibles
convention" as their mascot.
Nola [6014] 
rates right up there with
one of most popular Attics through the years. She was designed by and named for Nola
Hart and is a lovely 12" white bear with dangly legs. She was initially
released with 1st generation hang tags and a coral satin neck ribbon. Nola comes in
many variations, and it is hard not to try to get them all. Early Nolas can be found
with a black or brown nose, large or small feet, and a neck ribbon or a pink head
bow. Some 1st generation Nolas have been found in wearing her 5th generation pink
sundress and matching bonnet, but thus far, all of these early dressed Nolas have come
from other countries. Nola, along with her sisters Emily and Rebecca, was retired in
1997.
Orion [6207]
was
added to the Attic collection in the Fall of 1999. He is an adorable
8" tall bear made with a fur unique to the Attics thus far. His dark
blue fur is interspersed with clear shiny plastic strips giving it a
sparkling quality. Orion has an elongated snout with overly large close
set eyes. He wears a blue knit sweater adorned with silver
stars. His 7th generation hang tag says "You're My Universe."
Oscar [6025] 
was introduced in 1995
with 2nd generation hang tags. He is an 8" light brown bear sporting a dark
blue neck ribbon in the early generations and green corduroy overalls in the 5th and 6th
generations. His clothes were never produced with buttons on them. Oscar has a
shaved snout and looks like a miniature version of Malcolm. He was retired in May of
1998.
Penelope [6036] 
the
pig, came to the collection early on with 2nd generation hang tags. She is a 9"
portly pink pig who comes either naked in the early generations and wearing blue jean
overalls with gold sunflower buttons in the later 5th generation. Penelope was
retired in 1997, but reappeared briefly on some select store shelves in the Fall of
1998.
Peppermint [6074] 
is one of the darlings of the Attic collection. Ever since his
introduction with 6th generation hang tags in the Spring of 1998, he has been highly
sought after. With his potbelly, Peppermint is a white polar bear sporting a red
knit scarf and a matching ski cap. He was officially retired from the Attic line on
7-13-99.
Peter [6084] 
the pumpkin bear was released with 6th generation hang tags in
the fall of 1998 with the name of Pumpkin on it. These were immediately replaced
with 7th generation hang tags and his proper name of Peter. He is very different
from the rest of the Attics in that he is not just wearing a costume, he is actually PART
of the costume. With his little pumpkin top hat and pumpkin body, Peter was the
perfect Halloween accessory. Unfortunately, he was retired on 12-31-98 too soon for
us.
Piccadilly [6069] 
is
another cute little bear who quickly became a fan favorite. He was introduced with
6th generation hang tags in June, 1998 with the label "sm bear" on it. It
took a month or so before he came out with the Piccadilly name on his hang tag. He
was released with a rust colored nose and a green and blue clown outfit. In January
of 1999, Picadilly showed up with 7th generation hang tags and a red nose. In
addition, his outfit is now multicolored red, green, yellow and blue stripes. He is
still currently available.
Pouncer [6011] 
the
golden cat, was introduced to the collection in 1994 with 1st generation hang tags.
He originally was produced with the same colored ears, black eyes, and wearing a coral
bow. By 1996, his ears were different colored with one white and his eyes were the
two-toned green and black that is currently used. Although Pouncer is shown in all
of the TY catalogs from 1995-current, he has NOT been confirmed with some of the mid
generation hang tags. In 5th generation, Pouncer was dressed in a green knit sweater
and then in 6th generation, he became a "she" and was dressed in lovely peach
colored velour bloomers with a satin rosette on them. Pouncer is currently available
with 7th generation hang tags.
Precious [6104] 
was
introduced in the spring of 1998 with 6th generation hang tags. He is a large
12" bear wearing a sleepy time cap and panties clutching his blankie. With his
pot belly and medium brown coloring, he looks remarkably like Cody. In general,
collectors were not impressed with this version and he was soon retired on 9-20-98.
Prince [6048] 
the frog, was introduced
in 1996 with 5th generation hang tags. He is an unadorned and unassuming little
green frog who first appeared with a red and white tush tag. Prince was retired on
9-20-98 with 6th generation hang tags.
Priscilla [6045] 
was
introduced in 1996 with 5th generation hang tags. She was originally released
without clothes and looked like a larger 12" version of Penelope. She is
commonly found with the red and white tush tag and the early 5th generation hang
tag. Later, in 1997, Priscilla was dressed in denim and red checkered overalls with
a coordinating red checkered ear bow. She was retired in 1997.
Purrcy [6022] 
the black cat, was the
last of the kitty trio to be released and came to the collection with 2nd generation hang
tags versus the 1st generation. However, while the other kitties are almost
non-existent in the mid generations, Purrcy is the exception. He was initially found
with a pink neck ribbon, but can also be found with a burgundy neck ribbon. In the
fifth generation, Purrcy was dressed in teal overalls with gold sunflower buttons.
Like the other kitties, in the 6th generation, Purrcy became a "she" and was
dressed in lovely lavender overalls with a satin rosette on them. She is currently
available with 7th generation hang tags.
Radcliffe [6087] 
the
raccoon, was recently introduced in January, 1999. He was one of the last of the new
introductions to hit the shelves. Radcliffe is a scraggly 9" attic with black
and white highlights and a 7th generation hang tags. He is currently
available.
Rafaella [6066] 
is the darling of the Summer 1999 collection. She is a lovely 9"
bear with large gossamer wings and a white satin rope anetennae. She has a loose
curly light beige fur and wears a pink and purple satin bow over her right ear.
Rafaella has already appeared with a few different wing variations, so be on the
lookout for the different versions.
Ramsey [6092] 
was also a recent introduction and hit the shelves within a week
of being announced on the TY site. He's an endearing little white ram with golden
horns and hooves. He is currently available with 7th generation hang tags.
Rebecca [6019] 
,
like Purrcy, was not introduced until the 2nd generation. She is the third sister to
Nola and Emily and was first manufactured naked with a blue headbow. Rebecca was
given denim and red checked overalls with a matching red checked headbow in the 5th
generation. She was retired in 1997 along with her sisters.
Reggie [6004] 
is one of the oldest
Attic Treasures having been brought to the line in 1993. Reggie was first produced
with Hong Kong hang tags and was shorter and stouter than later versions. He was
pictured in the TY catalog wearing a red ribbon, but was only released to the public with
the navy blue neck ribbon. Reggie was one of the first Attics to be retired and is
one of the most highly sought after today.
Rosalie [6068] 
is the twin sister to Susannah with a pink petal shaped bonnet framing her
adorable white face. Her jumper has a rose print on it. Rosalie has
curly-napped white fur, a large black nose and close set black eyes. She was one of
the last of the summer, 1999 Attics to appear on the shelves.
Rosalyne [6211] 
is a 9" tall white
scruffy bunny who was introduced to the collection in January, 2000. She
wears a tacked-down necklace of satin rosettes in pink, mauve, rose, and violet
and has a coordinating rosette over her right ear. Rosalyne has a mauve
embroidered nose and paw accents. She has white string whiskers and black
eyes. Rosalyne's 7th generation hang tag says. " Everything Is Coming
Up Roses!"
Rose [6078] 
is one of the trio of
bunnies released in the Spring, 1998 collection with 6th generation hang tags. She
is a 10" brown bunny very similar to Benjamin, wearing pink corduroy overalls with an
embroidered flower on them. Rose was retired on 12-31-98 with 7th generation hang
tags.
Salty [6056] 
was introduced in May,
1999 with 7th generation hang tags. He's the ideal companion to Breezy and they look
adorable sitting side by side. He is an 8" golden brown bear with a shaved
snout and an endearing smile. Salty wears a navy blue sweaater with a white anchor
and gold chain design. His hang tag says appropriately, "Anchors Away."
Samuel [6105] 
was appropriately
released at the end of June in 1998 just in time for the Fourth of July holiday.
When he first hit the shelves, his hang tag said "Lg Bear" instead of Samuel,
but soon his 6th generation hang tags were corrected. Samuel is a large 13"
dark brown bear wearing red and white striped trousers, a blue jacket, and a red and white
striped top hat. He is currently available with 7th generation hang tags.
Sara [6007 & 6120] 
was one of the original
1993 introductions. Sara, like Jeremy, was first introduced with Hong Kong hang tags
and the red and white artist signed tush tag. She is a lovely 12" white rabbit
with soft fur and wears a pink satin neck ribbon in her early generations and is dressed
in a pink velour jumpsuit with a satin rose in the 5th generation. Little Sara
(#6007) was retired in 1997, but was reintroduced in Spring, 1998 with a new style number
and 3 inches in height. Large Sara was retired on 5-11-99 with 7th generation hang
tags.
Scooter [6032] 
is
perhaps the most rare of the three doggy brothers introduced in 1995 with second
generation hang tags. Scooter is the rust colored dog with a red nose in the early
generations and a black nose in the fifth generation. He can be found both naked and
wearing his rust colored striped sweater. Scooter was retired in 1997 and can
generally be found easier with 2nd generation tags than with his 5th generation ones.
Scotch [6103] 
is a 14" tall tan
shaggy bear wearing red plaid overalls with a matching plaid hat. He was introduced
in the Spring of 1998 with 6th generation hang tags and was rapidly retired on July 31,
1998 although he was fairly popular.
Scruffy [6085] 
was
the overwhelming darling of the Spring, 1998 attics. He was first available with 6th
generation hang tags and has gone through several transformations in the past year.
He can be found with short tacked down ears, long tacked down ears, bunny ears, and can be
made of either "scruffy" fur or silky fur. Scruffy was retired on 5-11-99
with 7th generation hang tags.
Shelby [6024] 
was one of the 2nd
generation Attics released with a hang tag identifying her incorrectly as part of the
Beanie Babies collection. She is an 8" tan bunny with a sweet expression and
long ears. Shelby can be found in the early generation wearing a pink neck
bow. In the 5th and 6th generations, Shelby can be found wearing a little sun dress
with a floral motif. With the 6th generation introductions, Shelby was mislabeled as
Tulip, but never appeared on the store shelves with that tag, although a Tulip tag WAS
found on a 6th generation Nicholas. Shelby was retired in May, 1998.
Sidney [6121] 
is a 15" tall tan
bunny who was first introduced in the Spring of 1998 with 6th generation hang tags.
He is structurally the same and has the same coloring as Jeremy. Sidney wears the
same overalls as Ebony and was quickly retired in the summer of 1998, so he was not
produced for long. He never gained in popularity, so is still on shelves in many
stores.
Sire [6141] 
was one of the more
unconventional Attics introduced with 6th generation hang tags in early 1998. He is
a large 13" lion wearing a purple cape and a regal yellow crown atop his tufted
hair. Unfortunately, he was not what collectors expected in the way of the
traditional old-fashioned flavor of the rest of the line and he was retired on 9-20-98
along with several of the other non-traditional Attics.
Skylar [6096] 
bears a striking
resemblance to Fraser. He was introduced on New Years, 1999 and is a darling 8"
bear with 7th generation hang tags. Skylar was first produced with a rust colored
nose, but reports are confirmed that he is now out there with a black nose as
pictured on the official TY site. Skylar was retired from the collection on March
31, 1999.
Spencer [6046] 
is
one of two large 15" dogs introduced in 1995 with 5th generation hang tags. He
was first produced with the red and white tush tag and no clothes, but was later dressed
in a green sweater with white stripes and a collar. Spencer was retired in 1997.
Spruce [6203]
was added to the Attic Treasures Collection
in the Fall of 1999. He was one of the last of the group to show up on the
store shelves. Spruce is a 9" golden brown bear with scruffy
fur. He has small close set black eyes. Spruce is wearing a green
velvet ski cap with a red tassle at the end and red trim. There is a
holiday tree design at the base. He is kept warm with a matching green
velvet neck scarf with gold corded trim. His 7th generation hang tag says
"I'm Pining for You." He was quickly retired on 12-10-99.
Squeaky [6017] 
is
a sweet little 8" mouse who has undergone many changes since his introduction in 1994
with 1st generation hang tags. He first was released in an all gray color with clear
whiskers, then was changed to an all gray color with black whiskers, and finally to a gray
mouse with white whiskers and white feet and hands. All of this was done in the
first generation after which time, Squeaky took a rest, but reappeared with 5th and 6th
generation hang tags. He was never dressed and was retired on 9-20-98.
Sterling [6083] 
was introduced on 9-30-98 and is in as hot demand now as he was
when he was first released. The first versions of Sterling had large bendable wings
that were almost the same length as the bear, itself. The later Sterlings have
shorter wings and a more vibrant silver fur. He was retired on 5-24-99 with 7th
generation hang tags.
Strawbunny [6079] 
was
one of those Attics who looked cuter in her pictures than she did in real life. She
was released in the Spring of 1998 with 6th generation hang tags. Dressed only in a
pink satin bow, Strawbunny was very popular for those spring baskets, but took some
insults over her little black ovoid eyes and Pepto Bismal coloring lending her the moniker
of "strawalien." She was retired on 5-11-99 with 7th generation tags.
Susannah [6067] 
was introduced in May of 1999. She is a small 8 inch bear
with dark brown nappy fur. She looks adorable in her white ruffled sundress with a
sunflower print. She wears a bright yellow cap that frames her face and ties under
her chin. Herr structure seems to be the same as Laurel. Susannah's 7th generation
hang tag says "You are My Sunshine."
Tiny Tim [6001] 
was
one of the original Attics introduced in 1993. He is a scrawny little 8" bear
who was released with 1st generation hang tags and sported a burgundy neck bow. He
has changed little over the years and was dressed in burgundy and white striped overalls
with matching burgundy buttons in the 5th generation. Tiny Tim was retired in 1997.
Tracey [6047] 
is the other large dog
who was introduced with Spencer with 5th generation hang tags in 1996. She is a
large brown dog with nubby fur and an upturned snout lending her a slightly snooty
appearance. She was first released with no clothes, but was soon dressed in blue
corduroy overalls with gold buttons. Tracey was retired in 1997.
Tyler [6002] 
is the other of the large
original 1993 Attics. Early Tylers were produced with the Hong Kong hang tags and
came both with or without humpbacks. The earliest Tylers had black noses and paw
stitching details which was quickly changed to the rust colored stitching most commonly
seen. In addition, the humpback Tylers were made out of a different smooth material
as opposed to the nappier shaggy material. The early versions of Tyler wore a
burgundy neck ribbon. In the 5th generation, he came dressed in a burgundy v-neck
sweater. Tyler was retired in 1997 with 5th generation hang tags.
Tyra [6201] 
came to the collection with a BANG!
Before this little darling made it to the shelves, Ty announced her official
retirement on the website. While collectors were boo hooing about not
getting her, rumors were rampant that she was retired due to her pom poms being
a choking hazard. Maison D'Ours got the exclusive story from Ty Canada as
Tyras started showing up on the secondary market in Ontario. Reports of
her surfacing in the UK sans pom poms started a week later. Currently,
Tyra is the hottest Attic in the collection. Time will tell how long this
lasts.
Tyrone [6108] 
is a dapper dark brown bear who was introduced with 7th generation
hang tags on 9-30-98. He is a large 13" bear who. looks suspiciously like
Samuel, but wears an elegant burgundy robe tied at the waist with a matching sash
belt. Tyrone is currently available.
Waddlesworth [6202]
was
added to the Attic line in the Fall of 1999. He is an 8" tall penguin
dressed in a green, black, white, and yellow coordinating knit hat and
scarf. He has two tone green eyes that catch the light. Both he and
Cheri were the first to show up on the shelves. His 7th gen hang tag reads
"I'm On Top Of The World!"
Watson [6065] 
was introduced with 5th
generation hang tags in 1996. He is a light tan bear with nappy fur and is a large
14" tall. Watson has an off-white muzzle and was first released with a burgundy
neck ribbon. Later, he was dressed in red, white, an blue checked overalls with
burgundy buttons. He is often found wearing the early 5th generation red and white
tush tag. Watson was retired along with the other large attics in 1997.
Wee Willie [6021] 
is
the another 8" small bear designed by Linda Harris. He was released in 1994
with 2nd generation hang tags. His early hang tags had several errors. Early
Wee Willies can be found with the hang tag identifying him as part of the Beanie Babies
collection or even worse, he can be found with his name listed as "Wee
Wiljje." More uncommon in this case, is the CORRECT hang tags :-) Early Wee
Willies wore a green neck ribbon. Later, he was dressed in dark blue denim overalls
with little baseball buttons. Wee Willie was retired in 1997.
Whiskers [6012] 
is
one of the older members of the Attic family. He was first introduced in 1994 with
1st generation hang tags. The earliest Whiskers had both ears grey, but was later
produced that same year with one white ear. While same eared Whiskers are quite
rare, the first generation different eared Whiskers is even more so. Many of
the different colored ears Whiskers came with the Woolie Brown hang tag as they shared the
same style number. Early Whiskers came with both pink and burgundy neck ribbons. In
the 5th generation, he was dressed in plum overalls with beige buttons. In 6th
generation, Whiskers was dressed in a deep blue velveteen jumpsuit with a satin flower
applique. Whiskers was retired with 7th generation hang tags on 8-2-99.
William [6113] 
was introduced in May of 1999. He was one of the first
announced in the "new batch" and is quite resplendent in his pinstriped business
suit, white shirt, and burgundy neck tie. William is a larger 12 inch bear with soft
medium brown fur and large black eyes. He has an elongated snout shaved only on the
top portion. His dark brown paw pads have black stitching accents. William's
7th generation hang tag says "Dressed for Success" and there is no question that
he IS.
Woolie Brown [6012] 
According to Linda
Harris, there were reportedly only 4 of these little gems produced. There is one on
display at the TYriffic store at the O'Hare airport in Chicago, but the
"cinnamon" Woolie, as Ms. Harris likes to refer to him, was never manufactured
for mass production. His hang tags, however, did make it into production and can be
found on some extremely rare and lucky 1st generation Whiskers who share the same style
number. This particular beauty belongs to Sally Grace and isn't she a lucky lady?
Woolie Gold [6011] 
Every
collection must have it's "grand old man" and in the Attic Treasures Collection,
that would be Woolie Gold. He is the dream bear of every collector and was the first
Attic to be retired. Woolie is a tiny 6" bear fully jointed and designed by
Linda Harris in 1993. Woolies are made from 100% wool as stated on their 1st
generation hang tags. Most of them have exposed seams and little pinched faces and
all wear the red satin neck ribbon. Storing Woolies is very important as their wool
content makes them extra attractive to moths. Woolie Gold was retired in 1994.
