How do you name a Koala bear?
It’s rather tough, I do declare!
It confuses me, I get into a funk
I’ll name him Mel after my favorite hunk!

All the Beanie Babies are new, directly from Ty to my mother’s business. She was a Ty Beanie Baby dealer in the 90’s before she passed away and she had a lot of them. They have been stored in a sealed container until now and have never been sold or displayed until now! Perfect condition!!
