Meanies are small stuffed animals made by The Idea Factory, starting in October 1997 and lasting until 2000. A Meanie is a 5-8 inch bean bag stuffed animal toy. Unlike Beanie Babies, the Meanies line is humorous in nature, and were made to target a older audience than Beanie Babies. This new breed of mean beanbag toys grossed out the competition, giving those nice, cuddly Beanie Babies a run for the public's money. The Meanies -- the soft, plush, bean toys that hit stores in 1997 -- are a disfigured, disgusting and slightly distorted version of your typical beanbag toy. The first line of toys was generally based on bodily function or gross-out humor, including Splat The Road Kill Cat, Fi & Do The Dalmutation a two-headed mutated Dog, and a flatulent Elephant named Bart. When a Meanie design ceased production, it was "Exterminated" instead of Retired.
