COUNTERFEIT ALERT

Counterfeit versions of Zip (all black) exist. Check for the following common indicators before purchasing this Beanie Baby:

1. The counterfeit version of Zip (all black) has a shorter body than the authentic version.
2. The whisker threads of the counterfeit version are a lighter shade of pink and thinner than the thread used on the authentic version.
3. The plastic pellets used in some of the counterfeits are not round. They have flat ends and are shaped like a small can.
4. The eyes on the counterfeit version are positioned too far back on the head.
5. The tush tag on an authentic version of the all black Zip is black and white. The all black Zip was never produced with a red and white tush tag. The first red and white tush tag for Zip was on the white paws version.
6. The third generation swing tag on a counterfeit all black Zip is made from a shiny, slick, orange-red card stock common to many of the counterfeits. The color on an authentic version is 100% red.
