Ty Beanie Baby “Spangle” Bear (1999) – Rare Blue Face Variant | Stars & Stripes Edition

A striking and highly recognisable piece from the late Beanie Baby era, “Spangle” celebrates bold design with its iconic stars-and-stripes motif. This example is the sought-after blue face variant, distinguishing it from the more common white-faced version and adding an extra layer of collectability.

The bear’s design is beautifully balanced—deep navy adorned with white stars contrasts against vivid red-and-white striping, while the soft blue face lends a gentle, almost serene expression. Finished with a coordinating ribbon and presented with its original Ty swing tag, this piece offers both nostalgia and visual impact.

Presented in excellent condition, the plush remains vibrant and clean, with colours retaining their richness and the tag carefully protected. A standout addition for collectors or those seeking a decorative vintage piece with character.
