Both of the prototype's feet were black. Frankenteddy's poem was written by Vicky Russell. Vicky's poem won the Mary Beth's Beanies & More magazine "Be a Winner" Halloween poem contest in 2002. Vicky is the first Ty collector (other than Ty employees) to write a poem used for a Beanie Baby swing tag. Articles about the prototype auction and Vicky's winning poem are featured in the September/October 2002 edition of Mary Beth's Beanies magazine. The Frankenteddy prototype signed by Ty and sold in the auction modeled for the front cover.Shortly after Frankenteddy was auctioned off, the following notice appeared at the Ty Internet site.
