Ty Warner Does the Impossi-Ball, Reinventing World's First Toy with 'Beanie Bouncers'

New product bounces into the world at Atlanta Market show; combines soft, durable fabric with a timeless shape, creating endless possibilities for active play.

OAK BROOK, Ill., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ty Warner, owner of the largest manufacturer of soft toys in the world, today unveiled Beanie Bouncers, his fresh take on the #1 selling toy of all time: the ball. A brand-new product from the maker of Beanie Babies, the Bouncers bounce sky-high and are totally wrapped in the softness of plush. The result is a toy with maximum play value – unveiled today for the first time at the Atlanta Market trade show.

The four-inch Bouncers will come in 12 initial characters. Fins (a shark) is featured here.

"Beanie Bouncers usher in new possibilities for creative and active play," said Warner. "Modeled on our best-selling Beanie Boos, they unlock the imagination and endless possibilities for fun. Kids can invent games and create stories about why they bounce so high. The possibilities are endless."

"This is plush you can toss, catch, bounce, roll, kick, bowl, and collect," Warner added. "It's a great way to get kids out of the house and away from screens, too."

The four-inch Bouncers will come in 12 initial characters: Gilbert (a giraffe), Fins (a shark), Buzzy (a bee), Swish (an axolotl), Leggy (an octopus), Katy (a koala), Checkers (a panda), Mystic (a dragon), Banana (a chimp), Sammy (a Siamese cat), Purry (a cat), Spots (a leopard).

Additional Beanie Bouncers will be introduced later this year, said Warner, who has a worldwide patent pending for the product.

Beanie Bouncers will be available for $5.99 in the U.S. starting in August and will also be available in the United Kingdom.
