Poem
In the mountains, where it’s snowy and cold
Lives a beautiful tiger, I’ve been told
Black and white, she’s hard to compare
Of all the tigers, she is most rare!
Collectors note
Blizzard the White Tiger was introduced on 11th May 1997.
There was a rumour that Blizzard was to be retired prematurely because Ty was being taken to court by Dairy Queen over the use of the name “Blizzard” as they produced frozen treats of the same name. This proved later to be just a rumour and nothing more.
Blizzard was in fact, in production for around a year, retiring on 1st May 1998.
Item Special Note
Ken and Phyllis Hoy have owned this collection of Beanie Babies since they were released in stores during the 90's and early 2000's. They have been stored safely since they were purchased, with plastic tag covers protecting each of the TY heart tags, so they are in 100% like-new condition.
