<P> Nine original Beanie Babies were launched in 1993 : Legs the Frog , Squealer the Pig , Spot the Dog , Flash the Orca , Splash the Whale , Chocolate the Moose , Patti the Platypus , Brownie the Bear ( later renamed `` Cubbie '' ) , and Pinchers the Lobster ( with some tag errors with `` Punchers '' ) . They were not in factory production until 1994 . Sales were slow at first to the point that by 1995 many retailers refused to buy the products in the bundles Ty offered them while others outright refused to buy them in any form . Their popularity soon grew however , first starting locally in Chicago before growing into a national craze in the USA . </P>
