Ty Beanie Babies plush toys collection featuring Roam the Buffalo and other characters
History
This collection of Ty Beanie Babies includes several plush characters from the late 1990s, with Roam the Buffalo (the brown buffalo with tag visible in the foreground) being from the 1998 release. Ty Beanie Babies were created by Ty Warner and became a massive collecting phenomenon throughout the 1990s, with limited releases and retirements driving a secondary market frenzy. Beanie Babies remain popular among nostalgic collectors and toy enthusiasts who appreciate their cultural significance from the 1990s collecting boom. The Roam buffalo character is particularly sought after by Beanie Baby collectors focusing on animal-themed plushes or those completing sets from specific release years. These plush toys represent one of the most notable collecting crazes in modern toy history.
