History
As some collectors could not afford rare Beanie Babies such as "Peanut the royal blue elephant" and "Humphrey the camel", Ty Warner created Beanie Buddies, which are based on some of the most popular members of the Beanie Babies toy line. Beanie buddies were introduced in 1999. Today, Ty makes Beanie Buddies still as a bigger version of Beanie Babies. Sometimes, Beanie Buddies even serve as an "extra" Beanie towards its regular Beanie Baby form if a consumer has both, just in case the other form gets sold, ruined or lost. A Beanie Buddy has not been made for every single Beanie Baby made.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
