Osa Johnson set the Toy world on fire with her line of stuffed Jungle Babies in 1939 and won the approval of the World Wildlife Fund by making sure the animals were adorable...but scientifically accurate so children would have fun and really learn about her Jungle Friends.
We think Osa would have loved the line of Beanie Babies developed by American businessman Ty Warner, who founded Ty Inc. in 1986. Created in 1993, Beanie Babies emerged as a major fad and collectible during the second half of the 1990s. They have been cited as being the world's first Internet sensation in 1995. They were collected not only as toys, but also as a financial investment, owing to the high resale value of particular ones.
This auction item includes a set of 6 Jungle denizens:
Roary the Lion
Cheeks the Baboon
Mooch the Spider Monkey
Congo the Gorilla
Spike the Rhino
Bongo the Monkey
The set also includes two fun Safari Sun Hats so you can take your new crew on safari in style!
Thank you to Judy and Conrad Froehlich for donating these fun, collectible friends!
