TY Lara the Tan Capybara Beanie Boo - Large 40cm Soft Plush Toy

Lara the Tan Capybara Beanie Boo is a 40cm collectible plush from Ty, instantly recognisable by the big glittery eyes and the soft, slightly firm feel of the range.

About Lara

Lara is a tan capybara from Ty's own cast of characters rather than a licensed one, which means Lara 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. This one is an exclusive release, so availability is more limited than the standard line-up.

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
• Genuine Ty product, supplied with the red Ty Heart swing tag

Gifting and collecting

Ty plush sits in a useful price bracket for gifting, cheap enough for a party bag or a stocking and recognisable enough that it does not feel like a filler.

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

Surface wash only: wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and the eyes.

About the brand

Founded in 1986, Ty built its reputation on the original Beanie Babies and has kept the same formula since: small, affordable, character-led plush with a name on every tag. That red heart tag is also the simplest authenticity check, which matters if the toy is destined for a collection.

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.
