1999 4229 Retired Kicks Green Soccer Teddy Bear Plush Ty Beanie Baby MWMT

I was a big collector of Beanie Babies from about 1998 - early 2000's. I am going to start offering some of my collection as auction-style listings - I have a wide variety! If you are looking for a particular Beanie, feel free to contact me. Most are MWT, having had the swing tags in protectors. Not all tags have been protected though - each listing will have the pertinent details for the Beanie. Questions welcome. This is Kicks, teddy bear style #4229. He was introduced on 01/01/1999 and retired almost a year later on 12/23/1999. A cute teddy bear plush, whether you're a collector or not. Perfect for the soccer-lover, Kicks was the first Beanie Baby to represent a sport. He has mint green colored plush with an embroidered soccer ball patch on his chest. The poem on his swing tag reads: "The world cup is his dream Kicks the bear is the best on his team He hopes that one day he’ll be the pick First he needs to improve his kick!" Always kept in a non-smoking environment, Kicks is in mint condition with a mint condition tag. I am listing Beanie Babies from my collection as time allows; if you are looking for a particular Beanie, please reach out! Thank you.
