Spangle the Bear is a distinctive patriotic Ty Beanie Baby that brings a bold stars-and-stripes design to the Original Beanie Babies collection. Measuring approximately 9 inches, the white-face version features a clean white head with classic black button-style eyes and a rounded black nose. His ears use contrasting patriotic patterns, with red-and-white stripes on the left ear and navy blue fabric decorated with white stars on the right. The body continues the American-inspired theme through contrasting stars-and-stripes sections, while the red, white, and blue ribbon around his neck completes the festive presentation.

The white-face version was introduced on August 16, 1999, and retired on December 23, 1999, making it a short-lived release from the late-1990s Ty era. Spangle’s swing tag lists his birthday as June 14, 1999, and identifies his theme as USA. He is particularly notable as the first Beanie Baby to feature two different patterned fabrics and was produced in three face-color variations: white, pink, and blue. With polyester fiber and P.E. pellet construction, Spangle has the lightweight, flexible feel associated with classic Ty Beanie Babies. His unusual fabric combination and patriotic styling make him an appealing collectible for vintage Ty enthusiasts and Americana-themed displays.
