Meanies were first released in October 1997 with a 12 animal run. They were an attempt by The Idea Factory and Topkat LLC, to capitalize on the Beanie Baby fad by providing a humorous alternative to collectors and a younger crowd. The first line of toys was generally based on bodily function or gross-out humor, including Splat The Road Kill Cat, Fi & Do The Dalmutation a two-headed mutated Dog, and a flatulent Elephant named Bart. Keychain versions of 9 of the Series I Meanies were made available at 7-Eleven stores in 1998. They were small versions of the characters on a small chain with a standard keychain clasp. When a Meanie design ceased production, it was "Exterminated" instead of Retired. Infamous Meanies were takes on celebrities, such as "Donkeyng" for Don King, "Mike Bison" for Mike Tyson, and "Bull Clinton" for then United States President Bill Clinton.
