A famous artist, he hopes to be
But the tide came in and his paints fell
Now his art is on his shell!

Released in 1997, Claude quickly became a collector’s favorite due to his striking tie-dye pattern—no two are exactly alike. His mix of orange, green, and blue hues, combined with bead eyes and detailed claws, made him stand out. Claude is one of the most well-known Beanies associated with the 1990s boom, and certain tag errors (like missing commas or incorrect dates) increase his value. His creativity-themed poem helped solidify his quirky appeal.
