Ty Beanie Baby — Swoop the Pterodactyl (2000, Retired)

Swoop joined the Ty Beanie Babies lineup in February 2000 and was retired in June 2001 — one of only a handful of dinosaur Beanies ever produced, making him a standout piece in any Ty dinosaur collection alongside Rex, Steg, and Bronty.

This Swoop is in excellent collector-grade condition with both original tags attached. He's a 6-inch beanbag plush featuring a mottled tie-dye body in earth tones, deep green and purple wings with black felt tips, a charcoal felt beak, and bright yellow reptilian eyes.
