POEM:
Maple the bear likes to ski
With his friends, he plays hockey
He loves his pancakes and eats every crumb,
Can you guess which country he's from?
Maple's poem had two versions of the last line, one with "which",
the
other having "what":
Can you guess which country he's
from?
Can you guess what country he's from?
The ribbon on the real Maple should
be approx. 3/16" wide and should not be attached to the bear!
Maples nose is brown not black! The thread on the ribbon matches
almost identically.
The photos above are of a 4th generation
Maple.
BIG difference between
Generation 4 and Generation 5 Maples
Chris from Alberta Canada shares different photos of a 5th generation
Maple. Her Maple has the number inside the tush tag while my 4th
generation Maple does not. PE Pellets now replace the PVC pellets.
The tush tag now has a star and the word Maple is now trademarked.
The trademark symbol for (Beanie Babies Collection) is now registered)
The font of the front of the tag also has a change.
THANKS CHRIS!
