 And the maker was Ty Inc. Remember that? 1997, 2000, 2009. McDonald's offered Teenie Beanies toys and its Happy Meals for $2 per toy. And the promotion went on for a few years, though it declined in popularity after 1998. 1998 was the height of popularity for Ty Inc. Now, if you have a Happy Meal Teenie Beanie Baby in mint condition, original price $2, some are selling for $10,000.
