here are the rest of them for the exception of duplicates, beanie buddies and Erin the bear + Buckley the deer, who I got a week or two after I took these photos.

thats an impressive collection! i used to have about that many actually... before we moved i brought about over half my collection of 100+ beanie babies to savers. even after getting rid of that many i still have tons. i've mostly resorted to just ones i liked rather than grabbing whichever I didn't have yet i collected them over the years as a kid but I've kinda stopped since ive been busy, and mlp has been my main focus now. i had a single cardboard box that i kept them in and that thing was OVERFLOWING, heres pics of all the ones i ended up getting rid of, more or less:

i ended up keeping the frankenteddy in the first pic for halloween time. i dont know what teddy the purple one with the yellow ribbon is in the 3rd, but i shouldve kept it

These are absolutely amazing! Thank you both so much for sharing! I bet if I had both my boxes of Ty’s out the loft to display them they’d look something like this. I only ever managed to keep mine under my bed as little kid me would carry the box outside during the day for play.
Here’s more of mine. Not pictured from display are the zodiacs who are on my higher shelf. All zodiacs minus Dragon, Horse and Snake who I am still yet to track down in my charity shop hunts

Please excuse the Care Bears, they’re my old McDonalds ones who are not Ty’s. The one with the red nose is my first ever one Poopsie who little kid me chewed so much his nose came off so little kid me attempted to fix him. I am not a fan of the Boos but Slush and Safari were from when the line first started appearing in stores. I got them not expecting the line to continue and they were new. I got the figure of Kiki from a blind box. She’s hand painted and I was curious what the figures were like

i dont know what teddy the purple one with the yellow ribbon is in the 3rd, but i shouldve kept it

Is that bear like the dark purple one here? If so, that’s 2000 Signature Bear! I actually got all of my signature bears out the loft when rotating but there was no room so they had to go back up…

i've mostly resorted to just ones i liked rather than grabbing whichever I didn't have yet

I now have a list of my Ty’s so if one does catch my eye, I have to load the list up on my phone just to make sure I don’t have that one even though I am fairly sure anyway who I have. It’s just I used to collect with my little sister so there’s duplicates

@StormMaeker yes thats 2000 siggy bear! i checked beaniepedia earlier and figured out it was her. also the both of you have a confetti the bear! i'm jelly! been wanting that one for awhile
here's most of the beanies i brought with me... some buddies, some attic treasures. i have almost no "boo's". i dont like them, lol. there's some more that are not in this pic- like Quivers & Shivers the ghost bears who are out on our halloween shelf right now.

some big names in this photo... the 3 angel bears, bunch of ebay/internet bears, "old face" beanie buddy in the back, "i minnesota" bear, color me beanie (i drew on it with sharpie forever ago and i think i contend for coolest design on a color me bear), navy bear, "the end" beanie baby and teeny beanie, princess diana and 2 bday bears. among the rest


honestly i may go through my beanies again and rethink about finding some new homes. there's a few that i'm still not as attached to as the others. that'll be a bit hard but i need the room... for ponies

My old face (who I call Teddy Teal even though the tag just says “Teddy”) is like yours except he was found sun bleached but only underneath are still teal. He has an interesting fur shade though, the tips are like purple.

My newest ones are Celebrate and Mugungwha. I know I’ll never see every single beanie which makes seeing them all so interesting and Mugungwha is an example of that… she’s Korean!
My Punkie tiger there Tropics was found in a skip along with zodiac Rooster. I see you have Dragon, that’s so cool!
I have two The Beginning bears because little kid me didn’t know that the first one can’t go in the washing machine and then the second one was somehow surface washed wrong. Yeah, the stars turned yellow and came off

There was India the tiger in a charity shop recently. I almost got her, saw she wasn’t on my list then decided I shouldn’t for space… but she’s so nice

since I'm currently sorting my beanie buddies I thought I would be a good opportunity to show the rest of my beanies.

my beanie buddies, I adore these guys.

heres my, My little pony beanies/buddies (and a ty baby called pretty pony, they are very cute)


and the rest of my beanie babies (for the exception of duplicates) as well as my beanie boos.

I love Buddies, they’re so lovely soft it’s just a shame they’re so big and take up so much space

Snowboy is one of those Ty’s I’ve made an exception for in my collection for not being an animal (which is why I never got into collecting Kidz, no humans allowed) but sadly he’s in the loft with the rest…

 

[Daintress]

All the sudden I ended up collecting push lawnmowers, I have three right now but I'm gonna be getting another one, and as it stands right now only one runs and the others haven't run in twenty years so I'm not sure if I can fix those ones.

Anyone who saw my yard would think I collect riding mowers. I don't. But I also can't seem to get rid of them when they break, so....

 

[Sassarazzmadazzles]

All of my beanie babies are in a tote in my closet, they were one of my first collections

 

[Draco]

I collect a variety of cat sculptures from places I’ve visited or my parents brought back for me.

Also gnomes and skulls/sugar skulls. Not a whole lot, most were gifted to me

Photos of just a few of the items

No place to collect much else anymore. I’m out of space!

 

[Skycakes]

I got back into collecting the old strawberry shortcake and carebears. I was able to find a little a week ago. I was so happy. I still havent found a decent strawberry short cake and blueberry muffin. Maybe down the road. I havent bought anything in so long it was nice to pick something I lost back up again. I decide to collect the old stuff and nothing new anymore.

 

[strawberrypony32]

I already posted a list of some things earlier but I'll add more!!

I also collect victoria secret dog plushies bc I always looked at the pretty displays and wanted one so bad while all the popular kids in school got them. We couldnt afford any so I was the odd one out. Now when ever I see one thrifting i have to get it if im able, I have maybe 6 or 7 now? I saw a metallic blue one the other day I wasnt able to get bc I bought a pony instead but if its still there when i go back in a month or two I might! :0
However I do wanna make it known I do not support the brand for reasons, but I dont mind collecting the dogs second hand. Its both bc I love them, and out of salty spite that everyone teased me over it. Up yours, all you highschool bullies I have more than you now lol!
They looked like this only smaller if anyone doesnt know!


I also collect specific DanDee valentines dog plushies bc they were so pretttyyyy and only got sold for one year. They have floppy ears, heart noses, and crushed velvet fabric. I got one for valentines day that year and they were SOO gorgeous I wish I could have had one in every color. Ive managed to get a few! I cant find any pictures online, I'll have to get them out and take pictures one day.

Wish I could help with that because I was wanting the motor from one of those for something I was wanting to build.

I only have about 95% of my Ty collection out of storage because it’s the biggest collection I have. I want a chance to enjoy them all so I’ve began rotating some. I have a few that I’ll never put away though, those being my original 4. I don’t buy as many now because of the size of the collection and space but I will let myself off if it’s something really nice or one of the zodiacs as I’ve been collecting those since childhood. Here is Rainbow Dash with my first rotation of Ty’s!

Ooh you’ve got the birthday bears nice! I got one of them at a yard sale and they’re really nice
@strawberrypony32 I stopped getting new Betty Spaghetti’s when they changed the design, not because it was bad or anything but because it wasn’t interchangeable with the old ones that I had (still have actually ) so many of! It was silly of them cause the whole thing with her was swapping the parts around lol

My first one I got was August. I really like the gem noses but little kid me disliked how the neck ruff was attached to the neck so little kid me snipped it so it became removable. Now I wonder why did I even do that.
I really hunted down February when I was a kid since it’s my birthday and the one I found was the most played with condition one ever. I can’t really see the gem sparkle sadly but I got February so I was pleased.
I only have Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jul and August

I’ve always really liked November though because that one’s yellow. An old childhood friend I collected with had that one

The noses are really pretty I have September (not my birth month, it was just the one they had).
Haha oh no! Kids do such weird things
Aw I hope you’ll be able to find November then

Aww! Yea I never got any of the new ones, just the original ones. To be honest I had never realized they released newer ones until I was an adult. I just had assumed as a kid that they stopped selling them. ;-; I remember the last set I ever got was a slumber party pack from.. I think it was an Eckerds pharmacy? It could have been CVS that pharmacy building has changed several times. It was my favorite pack I ever got! I remember we were only stopping in for a quick errand before heading to my moms friends house I believe, we were cutting through aisles to get to the register and I saw it and said LOOK MOMMY BETTY SPAGHETTY. We hadnt seen them in a while since they had started to discontinue my mom was *GASP* and got it for me! I guess the pharmacy had a few left!

I collect singing synthesizers (and dabble in speaking synths as well)! I was a huge Vocaloid fan as a teenager and never got to fulfill my dream of owning Rin and Len's V2 software (which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise, their Act1/Act2 releases are quite difficult to use and I would've gotten super discouraged at the time), so as an adult I decided to indulge in that dream. Here's my physical collection, which makes up for about 75% of it!

 

[MysticFeather]

Breyer horses! I have no idea how many i have right now but...quite a few. Here's one shelf in one cabinet

 

[Hard Rock 1]

I collect dollls (Barbie, Rainbow High, Shadow High, Monster High & Ever After High) I mostly collect the dolls for customs (like Doctor Who characters). Our Generation, Bulid-a-Bear.

Doctor Who (Blur Rays, figures, books, magazines).
