Bottom Line: "Religious collectors, especially Christians, were Beanie Babies’ target audience when Hope The Bear entered the market. Unfortunately, the little praying stuffed toy had way too many errors to remain in circulation, so it had a short-lived existence. This praying bear was first released on March 23, 1998. She is on her knees, and with folded hands, she is praying for world peace. Hope comes in multiple colors and has a Ty heart with a poem that reads as When you go to sleep tonight, Pray everything will be all right. And if you keep Hope in your heart, We’ll stay together and never part! Without an Existing Identical Liasting to Compare it to" According to Microsoft's A.I .
