Happy debuted in June 1994 in a light gray color, making him one of the first Beanie Babies released after the original 9. This early version featured small ears, tiny eyes, and a broad, flat face that gave him a distinct charm. The gray Happy was retired in 1995 and replaced by a softer lavender version. Because of his short production run and status as one of the first Beanies, gray Happy is especially sought after by collectors, with value depending heavily on tag generation and condition.
