Sandra Boynton designed
plush animals for three companies that I know about - Carousel by Guy,
Recycled Paper Products, and Gund. Carousel was the very first, and the
bears still have the original beady eyes. Other later ones had her famous
trademark wide eyes. Recycled Paper Products produced her "Zoominary" line
next, then Gund produced a large number of animals in several sizes, including
some beanies. I've broken up this page to keep the load time down.
If you have pictures of any animal here that I don't have, please send it to
me and I'll include it here, with a credit to you! I'm always interested in
finding out about critters I don't have (or don't know about)!
Some pictures show up as missing or "broken". They're not mistakes - I just
don't have pictures of those (yet).
| ZOOMINARIES (RECYCLED PAPER PRODUCTS) |
|---|
| Sandra Boynton's line of plush animals for Recycled Paper Products was called "Zoominaries" (luminaries), and their names were all puns on famous people. |

Albert (Einswein) 10" tall |

| GUND |
|---|
| Sandra Boynton did several lines for Gund over a few years, beginning in 1992. She did the regular-sized animals, a line of small boxed beanies called "Minimals", a line of Christmas animals and beanies, and a series of dinosaurs - the Boyntosaurs. If you have any of these and can give me text from the tags, please do so! Also, I'm looking for the names of ones that I don't have the names for. I would greatly appreciate it! |
