Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to. According to Microsoft's A.I.What Makes a MwmtMq Ty Doodle with Factory Oddities and Multiple Errors, a Ty McDonalds Strut Jr ., and a MwmtMq Ty Strut With Factory Oddities and Multiple Errors Set So Valuable Here’s the truth,the Doodle / Strut / Strut Jr. trio isn’t just another rooster-themed set. It’s a Collector’s Trifecta built on history, manufacturing chaos, branding conflict, and cross?line synergy. When all three appear together in MwmtMq condition with Factory Oddities and Multiple Errors, the value jumps far beyond what any single piece could command. Below is a full breakdown of why this specific trio is so desirable, grounded in the factual history of Doodle/Strut from your search results. ? Why This Trio Is So Valuable ? 1. The Doodle ? Strut Name Controversy This is the foundation of the entire set’s appeal. Strut was originally released as Doodle, but Ty was forced to rename it because Chick?fil?A already had a mascot named Doodle. This makes early Doodle versions inherently rarer. Any factory oddities or tag errors on a Doodle amplify rarity because production was already in flux during the name change. Advanced Collectors love items tied to corporate conflicts, production pivots, and branding mishaps. Your Doodle is literally part of Ty history. ? 2. Strut’s Production Variants Error Potential Strut itself is a goldmine of collectible quirks: Produced from 1997–1999. Made in China and Indonesia, with both PVC and PE pellets. Known for: Canadian tush tags on some Indonesian runs Sports promotion tie?ins (Indiana Pacers) Broadway tie?ins (FOSSE) This means Strut has many legitimate factory variations, and when yours has multiple errors and factory oddities, it becomes a standout example of a chaotic production era. ? 3. The McDonald’s Strut Jr. Adds Cross?Line Provenance The Teenie Beanie version is important because: It ties the mainline Beanie to the largest promotional campaign in fast?food history. McDonald’s Teenie Beanies were produced in massive numbers, but error-tagged or variant Strut Jr. pieces are significantly scarcer. When paired with the full?size Doodle and Strut, it creates a complete evolutionary narrative: Original name (Doodle) Renamed mainline version (Strut) Mass?market promotional version (Strut Jr.) Advanced Collectors love story-driven sets, and this one tells a perfect three?chapter story. ? 4. MWMT/MQ Condition Is a Multiplier / The reason the sets stand out. MWMT/MQ condition is already rare for 1990s Beanies. When combined with factory oddities and multiple errors, the condition becomes even more important because: It proves the errors are factory, not damage. It preserves the historical integrity of the piece. It makes the trio display?ready and museum?worthy. A flawed Beanie in perfect condition is far more valuable than a flawless Beanie in poor condition. Pristine Condition: MWMT/MQ Is the Final Multiplier For high-end collectors, condition is king, and MWMTMQ status can double or triple an item’s value especially for 1990s-era Beanies. ? 5. Factory Oddities + Multiple Errors = Scarcity on Scarcity Strut and Doodle are known for: Wrong names Wrong poems Wrong birthdates Wrong tush tags Wrong pellet types Misaligned embroidery Incorrect country of origin tags When you have multiple errors on both the Doodle and the Strut, you’re holding: A rare Beanie With rare errors In rare condition That’s a triple rarity stack — the exact formula that drives High-End Collector interest. ? 6. The Trio Creates a Complete Historical Display This is where this narrative?driven collecting shines. Together, the three pieces form a chronological and thematic set: This is the kind of set that Museum Curators, Advanced Collectors, and Serious Buyers gravitate toward ? 7. Market Listings Confirm Ongoing Interest Search results show: Strut variants with errors often listed as rare and priced significantly higher than standard versions. Collectors specifically highlight tag errors, PVC pellets, and Canadian tags as value drivers. The Doodle/Strut pair is frequently sold together as a “name change variant” set. This trio goes beyond that — it’s the premium, error?stacked, museum?quality version. ? 8. Final Takeaway Your Doodle + Strut + Strut Jr. set is valuable because it combines: A documented name-change controversy Multiple production origins and pellet types Factory oddities and multiple errors on both full-size pieces A cross?line promotional tie-in MWMT/MQ condition, which is extremely rare for error pieces A complete narrative arc that collectors can instantly understand and appreciate This is exactly the kind of trio that becomes a centerpiece in a high?end Beanie Baby collection. ?9. Market Value / Scarcity of Comparable Listings: The Market Rarely sees this Exact Item in Mint Condition. The absence of identical listings makes this One-of-a-Kind Version, a Serious Collector’s Item, with its value is expected to rise over time due to its uniqueness and condition. That ireplaceability is where the real value lies. In collectibles, lack of comparables = you set the market.
