Indonesian Manufacturing
Most Beanie Babies were made in China, but Indonesian-made versions are far less common.
Indonesian bears often have softer fabric and slightly different stitching, which some collectors find more desirable.
Limited production from this region boosts their rarity.
Tag Errors Oddities
These sets often include tag errors, such as:
Incorrect birthdates or retirement years
Grammatical mistakes in the swing tag poem
Missing red stamp inside the tush tag
Such errors are highly sought after because they represent anomalies in mass production.
