This version is the hardest to find because Ty discontinued manufacturing in Indonesia due to quality issues & ceased using PVC pellets so there are far fewer of these than any other version. In early January 1998 Ty Inc. Began talks with Greenpeace to cease usage of PVC pellets & begin using PE pellets.

This corresponds with the Princess timeline. In early January of 1998 Patricia Roche of Ty UK wrote in a letter to retailers to please let collectors know that there would be plenty Princess Beanies available shortly. In the 1998 Ty Retailer's Catalogue, given out at the beginning of the year, Princess Beanie Baby appears, and is listed on the order form. On Feb 9, 1998 Greenpeace protested at the New York Toy Fair to halt the usage of PVC in children's toys, and they announced that Ty Inc. Would be using PE Pellets for all future products.

Greenpeace had commissioned a study of PVC ending in late 1997 and Ty Inc. In mid to late February of 1998 some people claimed to have received Princess with PE pellets. It was never confirmed through photographic evidence. It never came from any reliable source. There is only one change to the swing tag other than the location they were made and that is on the last 4 lines of the inside right that refers to the Memorial Fund.

Later versions had a space between the 2nd & 3rd lines of the reference to Diana's Memorial Fund. All versions prior to that had no space. In early May of 1998 collectors noticed yet another change. Beanies were showing up with red stamps inside the tush tag.

It was first noticed on Peace and later confirmed on Princess. All Princess Beanies have a red star on the tush tag.
