China the Panda Plush (7") - Ty - Original Beanie Babies Series - (2000)

China the Panda is a charming vintage Ty Beanie Babies collectible from the 2000 Original Beanie Babies Series, bringing the classic appeal of a traditional black-and-white panda to a compact plush design. Measuring approximately 7 inches, China features a soft, fuzzy white body contrasted by black legs, rounded ears, distinctive eye patches, and a bold black stripe across her back. Her seated silhouette gives her the instantly recognizable look of classic Ty Beanie Babies, while the simple color palette makes her especially appealing for panda lovers and vintage plush collectors.

Detailed facial stitching adds personality to China's gentle appearance, with black button-style eyes, a black button nose, and stitched mouth details completing her expression. Her polyester-fiber construction with P.E. pellet filling provides the lightweight beanbag feel associated with the original Beanie Babies format. Introduced on July 8, 2000, and retired on April 19, 2001, China also carries a September 4, 2000 birthday and an original hang-tag poem describing her resting near a bamboo tree in the mountains, adding a nostalgic storytelling element to this retired collectible.
