82003 Banana

Bananas the Monkey is a classic plush from the Ty Beanie Babies line, inspired by a playful monkey/orangutan theme. These toys are beloved by collectors and fans of Ty products for their quirky designs and classic bean-filled feel.

 Description

• Appearance: Bananas is a soft plush monkey with a brown body and contrasting details (face, hands, and feet usually in tan or lighter brown), with sparkly, colorful button eyes and stitched facial features that give him a friendly expression.

• Size: Measures around 8.5 inches tall — slightly larger than many standard Beanie Babies, making him great for both cuddling and display.

• Material: Made of plush fabric and filled with the classic PVC “beans” that give Beanie Babies their signature feel and pose-ability.

• Tags: Original versions come with both a heart-shaped swing tag and a tush tag with his name and birthdate (e.g., June 30, 2000 on many versions), which is important for collectors.

 Tag Poem

Bananas often features this light-hearted poem printed on his swing tag:

“If you’ll come and play with me
We will swing from tree to tree
Then we’ll go and have some lunch
We’ll eat bananas by the bunch!”
