Rainbow the Chameleon’ was born on October 14, 1997. He was not a rainbow hue at all, as described in his hang tag. He was blueish greeen! Before him,’Iggy the Iguana’, born August 12, 1997, was rainbow colored in his first release? But, iguanas are not chameleons. There was a fabric mix-up in the Ty Beanie Bag factories! In any event, a year later, Rainbow had the correct version of his color. It was corrected the second time around. It appeared in August 1998. Iggy also appeared in his correct blueish green version in August 1998. Rainbow was retired March 31, 1999.

He had made history! A rare find, this Ty Beanie Baby will only increase in value. This mint condition item was stored, untouched in an air condition box for close to two decades.
