Beanie Babies 2.0
Encyclopedia
Beanie Babies 2.0 are a spinoff of the popular Beanie Babies line, announced on January 2, 2008. The group was introduced following the retirement of all retail Beanie Babies (barring exclusive international and store-specific styles as well as licensed characters) that had been produced prior to 2004.
Each beanie comes with a special code. Once the buyer enters the code on Ty's website, the buyer is granted access to an online environment in which the user can gather points and communicate with other users through chat services. The chat is similar to other child-friendly games, such as Club Penguin
, which allow pre-selected prompts to be used if the user has not given permission (presumably from their parents) to access the full chat. Full chat is simply typed chat.
Prompts may also be used in addition to full chat. The website offers various acitivites including opportunities to make friends. Buyers with a Ty Girlz
account and a Beanie Baby 2.0 also have access to the Beanie Babies 2.0 site..
With Bo the Portuguese Water Dog being the last official Beanie Baby 2.0 announced in April 2009, and the introduction of a new offshoot line of Beanie Babies called Beanie Boos, it was unclear as to whether Ty had discontinued production of Beanie Babies 2.0 or whether future releases would be announced. In January 2010 in the new Ty spring catalog, the Beanie Babies 2.0 styles were shown to have been merged with the regular Beanie Babies, thus confirming that the line had been discontinued. However, the online site still maintains its functionality and many Beanie Baby 2.0 styles still remain current. However, many styles such as Ming the panda bear and Topper the giraffe now sport original Beanie Baby hang tags without codes.
