At some point during the fifth generation, probably early in 1997, Ty stopped producing clothing with buttons, most likely because the buttons were thought to be a choking hazard for small children.

When Ty introduced clothing to his collectibles line in 1996, a decision was made to ship clothing to the warehouse to dress much of the remaining inventory.  Hence, we can explain the existence of clothing on first through fourth generations.  We have reason to believe that when Ty ceased producing clothing with buttons, he also removed the buttons from any attics stored at the warehouse.  While most 1st through 4th generation dressed Attics are found with buttons, Brewster and Murphy can be found in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations both with and without buttons. All twenty-five Attics first produced with buttons on their clothing can be found in the 5th generation both with and without buttons.
