Plush toy 'Snort the Bull' by Ty Beanie Babies

Snort the Bull was released by Ty Inc. as part of the original Beanie Babies collection in May 1995 and retired in September 1997. This red bull with white accents became one of the iconic early Beanie Babies during the collecting craze of the 1990s. The visible hang tag shows style number 4002, and certain tag variations with manufacturing errors can dramatically increase value. Beanie Babies like Snort hold significant nostalgic and investment value for collectors who seek rare tag errors and early-generation specimens. These plush toys are particularly appealing to vintage toy collectors, 1990s memorabilia enthusiasts, and serious Beanie Baby specialists who understand that specific hang tag errors—such as misspellings, incorrect birthdates, or production mistakes—can transform a common toy into a highly valuable collectible. The combination of nostalgia, the historical significance of the Beanie Baby phenomenon, and the rarity of specific error variations makes certain Snort specimens exceptionally sought after in the collectibles market.
