There are two variations of swing tags. The first generation was found of the first group released in September 1998. The second generation swing tag appeared on the second group of Buddies released on January 1, 1999. On January 4, 2000, a large number of Buddies were released. There was also a swing tag change. A multicolored star was added to the tag.
Unlike with Beanie Babies, there is no birthdate listed inside the Buddies' fifth generation red Ty heart tag. On the left side of the tag are the words "The Beanie Buddies Collection" and a list of the Ty, Inc., locations in the United States and Canada. On the right side of the tag is a trivia statement about the Beanie Baby that the new Beanie Buddy is modeled after and the Ty, Inc., world wide web address for a quick link to retain.
All of the words on the inside of the hang tag are printed in black ink except for the words "BEANIE BABY," which are in red ink. The front of the tag has the yellow star with type that reads "BEANIE ORIGINAL BUDDY." The tush (or sewn-in) tags are of the same type (white with red heart and black letters) used on the Pillow Pals and the Ty Plush collectibles. The copyright year is 1998, for Beanie Buddies.
