Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: What makes a TY MwmtMq Indonesian Made Dual U.S. Tush Tagged Prance with Factory Oddities and Multiple Errors So Valuable? In short: A TY Prance that is Indonesian-made, dual U.S. tush tagged, and loaded with factory oddities plus multiple tag errors is valuable because it combines scarcity, provenance, and uniqueness—three pillars of Beanie Baby collecting that drive serious collector demand. ? Key Factors Behind Its High Value ?? Indonesian Production (Not China) Most Beanie Babies were mass-produced in China, while Indonesian-made versions were far scarcer. Collectors prize Indonesian-origin items because they represent limited production runs and often show distinctive quirks. ? Dual U.S./Canadian Tush Tags Dual tush tags are unusual since most Beanies carried only one country’s tag. These dual-tagged versions were produced to meet different labeling requirements, making them rarer and often commanding 10–50% higher value than single-tag counterparts. ? Multiple Errors Misprints Errors such as misspellings, punctuation mistakes, or mismatched tag details are highly collectible. Error Beanies typically sell for 1.5x or more compared to standard versions. In Prance’s case, documented oddities include uneven eyes, crooked nose/smile, and unusually long whiskers—physical quirks that make each piece one-of-a-kind. ? Factory Oddities (Physical Quirks) Uneven stitching, asymmetrical features, or unusual whisker placement are considered “production anomalies.” These oddities elevate the item from a mass-produced plush to a unique collectible artifact. ? Limited Production Retirement Prance (#4208, released in 1997) was retired, meaning no further units were produced. Retirement plus limited Indonesian runs magnify scarcity, which is a key driver of value. ? Condition: MWMT MQ (Mint With Mint Tags, Museum Quality) Condition is critical. “MWMT MQ” signals pristine preservation, with tags intact and no handling wear. Collectors pay a premium for museum-quality examples, especially when combined with rarity and errors. ? Market Impact Listings for Indonesian-made, dual-tagged Prance with errors and oddities have been seen at $5,000 asking prices. While actual sale prices vary, the combination of country of origin, dual tags, factory quirks, and error tags makes this version one of the most desirable Prance variants in the Beanie Baby market. ? Why Collectors Care For Elite collectors this isn’t just about monetary value—it’s about storytelling through rarity. An Indonesian Prance with dual tags and oddities embodies the quirks of TY’s global production era, where small factory differences created legendary collectibles. It’s the kind of piece that anchors a display, showing how history, error, and scarcity converge in one plush. ? Bottom line: The value comes from scarcity (Indonesian origin), rarity (dual tags), uniqueness (errors oddities), and pristine condition (MWMT MQ). Together, these factors transform Prance from a retired plush into a museum-worthy collectible. These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market.
