******Turtle mission*******

I am on a mission to find one of these turtles for my son.
I think this is it from McD's if you have one could you take a pic of it to show me if it is the right one. I don't really want to buy of e.bay but if it is the right one I will.

He left it along with another toy in the cimema about a year ago. He has had a few tearful moments about him but I though he had forgotton about it, he wrote a letter to santa and asked for turtle to come back, he got all emotional again. He is nearly 9 but very sentimental.

TIA

I meant to explain I can't tell if this is the right one because it is in the packet.

OOps I meant to add a . I am just so happy, I actually cried when I saw it.

OK I am still crying but that is because I got the wrong one . The one I got is an american version and its eyes aren't as big, I am now thinking that it wasn't a beanie but very similar perhaps without the beans. More like this but about 8cm not 16cm.

I'm hunting again, just to stop the pleading threads

WigWamBam · 16/11/2005 12:07

I've been looking for you too but have only found the one that you already found.

Still hunting though.

Thought the pleading might work, I am going to out to a shop in a nearby town that I think has the beanie baby one at 16cm. I might get it anyway but I really think it wasn't filled with beans.

Can anyone remeber IKEA having little turtles. We have a few of the little stuffed toys and i can't think wher else he could be from.

They have a couple of different Speedy turtles here but it doesn't give their sizes.

Skribble · 16/11/2005 12:20

I ahve tried e.mailing them because I think the beanie buddy is different from the beanie baby, and the teenie beanie. Heres hoping

Fingers crossed!

Mummyvicky · 16/11/2005 12:53

The buddy is smaller I think !! I really hope so !! GoodLuck!

Mummyvicky · 16/11/2005 13:37

No Ive looked the buddy is bigger, the beanie baby is the smallest. it looks just like Speedy the turtle by ty..strange

Skribble · 16/11/2005 16:06

Yes the buddy is bigger I went to a dhop I though had the turtle but it didn't.
I think the teenie beanie is smallest.

I checked with DS and he is sure it didn't have beans in it , just stuffed. so perhaps not a TY. The one I got id the american version of the Mcdon toy but I suspect the UK version will have beans in too.

Just to check beanies and TY are the same thing yes?

OP posts:
WigWamBam · 16/11/2005 19:13

TY make Beanies, yes.

Skribble · 16/11/2005 22:02

I am not an expert on these things just wanted to check it was the same thing.
