Ty Classic
# Ty Classic

Ty Classic Plush are a line of popular stuffed animals, made by Ty Warner Inc., which was later renamed as Ty Inc. in 2000. Each toy is lightly stuffed which allowed them to be posable rather than the traditional rigid singular pose and the feet of each toy has cloth lined bean bags made with either (see PVC and PE) pellets giving the plush an anchor to hold their pose.

## History

Ty Warner begins his own line (1983–1985) Very little is known, its possible that at this time the Ty logo was not used yet and it is unknown if the tags would have been recognizable.

Ty Inc. Production (1986–present) Ty created Ty Inc. and began creating his plush line with the "Himalayan Cats". including:

* 1001 Angora White 20 inch
* 1002 Baby Angora White 10 inch
* 1003 Jasmine Cream 20 inch
* 1004 Baby Jasmine Cream 10 inch
* 1005 Bijan Grey 20 inch
* 1006 Baby Bijan Grey 10 inch
* 1007 Kasha Ginger 20 inch
* 1008 Baby Kasha Ginger 10 inch
* 2001 Snowball White 20 inch
* 2002 Baby Snowball White 10 inch
* 2003 Kimchi Ginger 20 inch
* 2004 Baby Kimchi Ginger 10 inch
* 2005 Butterball Cream 20 inch
* 2006 Baby Butterball Cream 10 inch
* 2007 Oscar Grey 20 inch
* 2008 Baby Oscar Grey 10 inch
* 3000 Schnapps White Dog 20 inch
* 3001 Baby Schnapps White Dog 10 inch
* 3002 Super Schnapps White Dog 32 inch

These were all featured in a 1987 flyer except Snowball and all have tush tags with the year 1986.

Baby Tasha #2006 (10 inch Grey with black Accents) was featured in Beanie Mania II page 4, this example was featured in the Collier Museum Beanie Baby Exhibit in 1998.

In early 2014 Baby Cesha #2002 (10 inch White with Grey accents) surfaced on eBay and was confirmed by Becky Estenssoro to have never been documented previously in any Ty catalogue or value guide prior to this meaning this is the first time this example has been documented to exist.

What is most notable about these two examples is Ty Warner in interview commented that early in his career "he had 10 styles of the same Himalayan cat in 10 different colors. Each cat had its own name." Prior to the discovery of Baby Cesha, only 9 names were known (Angora, Jasmine, Bijan, Kasha, Snowball, Kimchi, Butterball, Tasha, and Oscar) now with the addition of Cesha we now know the names of all ten cats Ty was referring to.

Beyond the Himalayan cats (1987). Angel, Ginger. Peaches, and Smokey are often referred to as the original Himalayan cats but were not the original Himalayan cats. These names are only paired with tush tags with the year 1987 thus previous Himalayan cats with the year 1986 are the true Himalayan cats. These four cats were actually released alongside not only dogs but monkeys, more cats, bears, a lamb, and a pig.
