Style #4162

Named after Australian Mel
Gibson, Ty is rumored to be
sued by Mel Gibson for this
particular Beanie Baby,
although I doubt this to be
true. Mel was never one of
the most sought after
Beanies, perhaps due to the
drab gray color of his fur.

How do you name a Koala bear?
It's rather tough, I do declare
It confuses me, I get in a funk
I'll name him Mel, (after my favorite hunk!)

Mel the Koala was introduced January 1, 1997.
Mel the Koala retired March 31, 1999.

His birthday is January 15, 1996.
