Pinchers was one of the first two Ty Beanie Babies ever released along with Brownie (Cubbie) under the name Punchers.
It is believed that the Punchers name was just a typo mistake and was quickly changed to Pinchers on 1st Generation tags. Most of the Punchers were originally sold in the UK.
Versions with the misspelling are worth good money but are very rare and virtually impossible to find.
