Mystic the Unicorn TY Beanie Baby Buying Guide

Beanie Babies were a huge hit in the 1990s. The adorable toys consisted of mostly bears and a few creatures and animals that instantly became highly sought-after because they were different. Mystic the Unicorn Beanie Baby was created and released by TY in 1997, and it can be purchased in museum, new, and play condition on eBay.

Mystic the Unicorn is a collectible TY Beanie Baby. In total, there were five generations of Mystic created and four different looks. Mystic toys with an iridescent horn and coarse mane hair were created in the fourth and fifth generations. Fifth-generation Mystic has an iridescent horn and rainbow-colored hair.

There are first-, second-, and third-generation Mystic creations with brown hair and fine hair. There's also a bit of overlap with some third- and fourth-generation Mystic releases that have brown horns and coarse manes.
