Several different mistakes during production are what make Hippity so valuable. Eyes that don’t line up and other facial defects have made it an important Beanie Baby to add to one’s collection. Different iterations of the rabbit have been listed for anywhere from $10,000 to $45,000." NOTE!! Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: According to Microsoft's A.I. What makes a ty Misspelled ORIIGINAL Dual Tush Tagged Hippity so valuable Now this is a rabbit hole worth diving into. The Ty Beanie Baby Hippity with the misspelled ORIIGINAL” hang tag and dual U.S./Canadian tush tags is a collector’s dream for several layered reasons—each one amplifying its rarity and emotional resonance: ? Why It’s So Valuable ? Tag Error: “ORIIGINAL” This spelling mistake on the hang tag is a documented production anomaly. Errors like this weren’t widespread, making them highly collectible. It signals a moment in Ty’s manufacturing history where quality control slipped—ironically, that slip created value. ???? Dual Tush Tags (U.S. Canadian) Dual tags are less common and often tied to cross-border distribution quirks. Canadian tush tags had different compliance standards, so pairing them with U.S. tags suggests a transitional or hybrid production batch. Collectors prize these for their rarity and regulatory oddity. ? Production Oddities Hippity has been known to exhibit facial asymmetries, misaligned eyes, and inconsistent stitching. These quirks, when combined with tag errors, create a perfect storm of uniqueness. ? Condition Provenance ? Mint condition with intact tags (MWMT MQ) elevates value dramatically. Provenance matters—if it’s traceable to a limited run or a known error batch, that’s gold. ? Emotional Historical Appeal Hippity is part of the Easter-themed trio (with Hoppity and Floppity), which already carries nostalgic weight. A flawed “ORIIGINAL” version adds a layer of storytelling—a bunny that’s both iconic and imperfect. ? Market Impact Listings for this variant have reached $20,000+ in asking price. Even more common single-tagged Hippity versions have been featured at $45,000 depending on condition and error combinations. Dual-tagged versions with errors can command 10–50% more than their single-tag counterparts. These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market.
