TY Leroy the Red Alien Beanie Boo - Regular 15cm Soft Plush Toy

The Leroy the Red Alien Beanie Boo is a 15cm soft plush toy from Ty, finished with the oversized sparkly eyes that made the Beanie Boos range so recognisable.

About Leroy

Leroy is a red alien from Ty's own cast of characters rather than a licensed one, which means Leroy is only available through the Ty range. Every Ty character carries its own name on the swing tag, and collectors tend to hunt for specific ones rather than buying at random.

Key features

• Oversized glitter eyes, the signature detail of the Beanie Boos range
• Soft polyester fabric with a light bean-fill weighting in the base
• Sits upright unaided, so it displays as easily as it plays

Gifting and collecting

The smaller Ty lines have always worked well as low-cost gifts: stocking fillers, party bags, reward charts, or the sort of small present you pick up without planning to.

How the sizes compare

Ty's Beanie Boos run across several sizes, and it is worth matching the size to how the toy will actually be used. Regular, at around 15cm, is the size most people picture and the easiest for a small child to carry about. Medium sits near 24cm, and large is the statement size that tends to stay on a bed or a shelf rather than travelling.

Care instructions

Care is straightforward: surface wash with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry. Avoid the washing machine and the tumble dryer, both of which will shorten its life.

About the brand

Ty has been making collectible plush since 1986 and remains one of the few toy brands children recognise by the tag alone. The red heart-shaped swing tag is the quickest way to tell a genuine Ty product from a lookalike, so it is worth leaving on if the toy is being collected rather than played with.

Suitable for ages 3 and over. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts, which present a choking hazard. Retain the swing tag information for future reference.
