The miniature Beanie Babies, made for McDonald's in 1996, arrived and were better than I had even anticipated. Each was factory sealed and thus brand new with no funny smells or suggestive spots.
Here is Claude the Crab (with clauws). I started on him on Monday and by last night I had only gotten this far. I think I picked the hardest one to do - he has ten legs! What you cannot see is the plastic bag I tape him into with only one leg exposed at a time. That tames the time I need to untangle my thread from him. There are 12 more of the various animals, plus four bears, so I am feeling very rich at the moment.
