With the Following Bottom line: “Beak the Kiwi bird, introduced on Sept. 30, 1998, was one of the more challenging Beanie Babies to make. Beak's long, tan-colored beak was a new design for Ty, and it took some finagling to get it right. Beak was released in tandem with a bigger Beanie Buddy version, which is even rarer as it was retired after less than a year.
Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: Know that according to Microsoft's A.I. Ty Beak, also known as the Kiwi Bird, is considered valuable for several reasons:
Rarity: Ty Beak was released in 1998 and was retired shortly after, making it a rare collectible.
Tag Error: Some versions of Ty Beak have a swing-tag error that reads "Gasport, Hampshire" instead of "Gosport, Hampshire." This spelling mistake makes those particular Beak toys even more valuable.
Popularity: Beanie Babies, in general, were extremely popular in the 1990s, and Ty Beak is one of the more sought-after characters due to its unique design and limited production.
Condition: Beanie Babies in pristine condition with their original tags intact are more valuable.
