Ask Ty Question: When you make the Beanies, what do you think about most? As in the most important feature? (froglover93)
Answer: There's really no set feature that I concentrate on or that is more important than another. Sometimes I may design the Beanie to fit a name I like. Other times, a design comes first and then a poem. With Pappa, the orange and yellow stubbly fabric was created first with a Father's Day theme in mind.

Ask Ty:
Question: Is there a book or checklist of Beanie Babies from day one to present day beanie babies? And if so, how can I order one or get my hands on one?(submitted by mikes4x4s)
Answer: There are several different places to go for this information. Our website has a listing of all the Beanie Babies past and present.

This week's ASK TY:
Question: Why did you pick a heart for the hang tag/logo of the Ty products? (song bird)

This week's ASK TY:
Question: How can I purchase the new Beanie Baby called Punxsutawney Phil?
(ninna15781)
Answer: This little guy has become quite a celebrity. As many of you know, there are 2 different versions of Phil. There was a limited number of Punxsutawney Phil sold by the Punxy Chamber of Commerce . . . I think this version may be sold out. The second version, PUNXSUTAWN-e PHIL is available at the TyStore. Keep an eye on this little guy . . . . you never know where he might pop up.
Sparkles has been shipped and PUNXSUTAWN-e PHIL has been delivered to many who had ordered the online Beanie Baby. Presales of Captain and Hotshot are going higher and higher on Ebay. The silhouette of a leprechaun appeared last Monday along with Kiss-e. His green buckled shoes are seen at the small curtain opening. Valentines Day will be on February 14th and St. Patrick's Day will be soon after in March! Smitten has two nose versions, pink heart and black button!

ASK TY:
Question: Was the fabric used on the Punkies the most difficult to manufacture & if not, which fabric was?
Answer: The fabric I created for Punkies, TyTips, was challenging. I wanted a fiber that would spring back into shape but was soft to the touch. Many of our fabrics have special characteristics . . . Tylon is cool to the touch and can be produced in millions of colors and TySilk has a wonderful sheen and softness.
