In
January 2008, Ty introduced Beanie Babies 2.0, a line
of plush toys with a Web-ready scratch-off code on every
heart-shaped tag. Like Webkinz, the code gives users
access to an online virtual world. But unlike Webkins,
the games only unlock with the purchase of a second,
third or fourth pet and you can't
name your pet or decorate their house.
