Extremely Rare - 1997 Iggy The Iguana - Beanie Baby - 3rd Variation

US$8,000.00

There are many variations of Iggy the Iguana and Rainbow the Chameleon and the 2 beanies often cause confusion. It is erroneously thought that they were miss tagged, Iggy as Rainbow and vice versa, but in fact they were tagged correctly. Iggy is Iggy and Rainbow is Rainbow.

It was their fabric that was mixed up. Iggy had Rainbow’s fabric at first. Rainbow had Iggy’s fabric at first, a blue/green, but logic tells you that Rainbow should be rainbow colored.

 

Iggy – 3rd Variation – Tie-dyed, with tongue, Pastel color, stamp inside tush tag is perpendicular to writing on outside of tush tag OR Sherbet or Neon color, stamp inside tush tag is parallel to writing on outside of tush tag.
Errors:
