no that is extremely rare you should sell it
I have an original mint condition Snort with the name Tabasco in the poem and ear tag. No star on the tush tag and reads the name Snort on there. Interested in the possible value. PVC pellets and original 1995
woah dude that is crazy snort is extremely rare you should look up the price of it. wowowowoowowo!!!
it cant be too rare i have tabasco as well
Tabasco was the original name when released and then it was changed to Snort, so well Tabasco isn’t super rare, there were far less of them than sold than Snorts.I don’t know if this is really true, but I’ve read many places that the name change Was due to a licensing or trademark infringement type dispute over Ty using name Tabasco, because the sauce is a trademarked brand name (kind of similar to the Garcia to Peace change)
We have an Iggy toy with both swing tag and tush tag labeled “rainbow”. Is this meaningful?
I have a spinner that was made in Indonesia that has spooky on the tush tag
I have Vanish the ghost with silver stars and moons on him. The swing tag has 3 pages. The whole heart plus half a heart. Does anybody know if this is an error? And if so is it rare? The half a heart is blank .

On his swing tag his star is white not yellow. I haven’t found info on dating a tag with a white star and I haven’t found any with one either. Can you help me with this? Is it an error or does it mean the same as the yellow( mass produced)?. I appreciate any help you can offer❤
