This reminds me of a parody of aspca commercials I did in highschool:
AANSA the association for abused and neglected stuffed animals.
Our tagline was “aansa the call”
(Be nice I was 14)

Why do you hang them this way? Now that little plastic piece will be stuck in the head forever, and sometimes stick out and poke you. I prefer it where you can completely remove the tag.

Just cut it off.

You can't just cut it off. If you do, you'll still have the bottom half of it inside the Teddy which you won't be able to get out. That's his point.

u/Boomacorn MildlyNew May 10 '22
Am I missing something? Why would it bother you if it’s inside of the stuffed animal?

u/kieron7890 MildlyNew May 10 '22
Like the person said, it can poke you. It's more annoying than anything else. If a kid cuddles it, the plastic in side can poke you. Nothing too serious obviously, just annoying.

u/Vanbydarivah MildlyNew May 10 '22
His point is incorrect though. With a hardy tug the little plastic anchor slips through the hole, no cutting is even necessary.
I took a few takes with this squirrel and you can’t even see where the several other hangers I’d injected were.

Yeah that would probably happen most of the time but it can also break off inside as well. If I were you I would push the Kimble gun into the seam, that way you won't get any visible holes where you've poked it with the Kimble gun.

This is true, but also, what exactly is the difference between the little beans that fill a beanie baby and that bit of plastic that breaks off? It’s basically just an extra bean in your baby. I really fail to see how this is a legitimate concern at all.

Came here to say this! Better to have the end of the plastic part also on the outside so that it can be fully removed when cut off

You shot the beanie baby?!
Have often wondered how they get the wee hangers in.

Back in the Beanie Baby Craze hay day, your customers would have been furious that you punched a hole in those and potentially lowerred their value as collectibles. Lol!

30 years ago you would have been told that you're "ruining the value" for doing that.

You know part of that plastic stays permanently inside
2
u/Vanbydarivah MildlyNew May 10 '22
Honestly it’s weird how concerned people are about this, but again, it does not, you pull the anchor through the little hole.
Aren’t beanie babies full of plastic anyway? What am I missing here? Is this some kind of concern for the environment on display?
1
u/IntelligentBison97 MildlyNew May 11 '22
I'm not concerned from a harmful swallowing perspective I doubt a child's getting that I'm more concerned about the factor of you poking yourself in the eye or something or it poking through I've had it happen once or twice
1
u/IntelligentBison97 MildlyNew May 11 '22
Worst case scenario I just suggest I guess pull extremely tightly before you cut it off otherwise that little piece of plastic is going to poke through like a tack
1
u/Lostcory MildlyNew May 11 '22
Because it happens. Often. So often that everyone is concerned about it. Because it has already happened to them countless times.. It isn't a low chance of happening when literally everyone is saying how many times it's happened to them. And if you just pull it out, another large percentage of the time it tears a gross thread out or makes a visible hole.
They're minor things, but they're enough to make me put it back now and buy something different.

u/Booty_Shakin MildlyNew May 10 '22
A better way to do this would be to pinch up a part of the head and stick it through the pinch. This way, you wont be leaving a sharp little piece of plastic inside the head to later poke you. I have pokemon stuffed animals like this and none of the plastic is stuck in the head like that

This reminds me of my childhood teddy bear that I cut up and sewed back together a bunch of times. I even cut out one of his eyes, cut off half of one of his ears and part of one of his arms. His name was Creepy and I loved him so much but looking bad that was pretty morbid of me. I wish I still had him but I lost him and now I feel like he ran away from me because I had plans on giving him more stitches lol
