Title: Care Bears Thread
Post by: Dreamer on December 17, 2017, 09:07:19 AM
There was one here before, but it seems it's no longer here, so... let's get the party started again!  :frolic: :woohoo:

Talk about Care Bears, show pics of your collection or tell the latest news of everything and anything Care Bears!

I'll chat for a bit to start the thread. I only got interested in Care Bears quite recently, but my favourites are Hopeful Heart (my first plush!), Cheer, Lotsa Heart and Do-Your-Best. I also quite like Birthday, Tenderheart and Grumpy (who doesn't like Grumpy?)

I loved these as a kid and had all the little plastic ones;

My first-ever one was Tenderheart, so I do have a soft spot for him... then I managed to collect the whole lot through birthdays/Christmas gifts. I even had the duvet set and a roll of the wallpaper!

We had the HUGE Panini album craze at school, even the boys traded cards with us girls! Ah, the special fuzzy stickers from earlier releases, then followed by the inferior, non-fuzzy versions later. Memories!

Then on to the cousins - Cozyheart Penguin was my first and only... then life got in the way and I grew out of them...

...since then, I have picked up a few of the cousins second-hand but have not yet completed my collection - maybe one day!

I was never a huge fan of the plush versions (I generally am not a teddy-bear fan, I appreciate their super-cuteness but don't have desire to own them).

The recent reboot has got my kid into enjoying them too, but they are not *quite* the same  ;)

I love Care Bears, but sadly I had to donate them all when we moved, and have yet to replenish my collection. ;__; My favorites were Cheer Bear, Harmony Bear, my classic Brave Heart Lion and Gentle Heart Lamb.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, my little beanie Cheer Bear was the very first Christmas gift I can remember getting!

Hope some people post some pics so we can all drool over their collections! :lol:

I used to love Care Bears when I was growing up. :) I got out of them for quite a while but recently started getting back in to them again. Here's a few pics.

This Love a Lot was a swap gift. She is one of my favorites so I was very happy to finally have a vintage plush of her.

retro Care Bear beanies. I have several of these also, but only seem to have pics of Share and Grumpy right now. :)

I had Care Bear sheets on my bed at one point and also have a few DVDs, a VHS of the Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings and a set of the A Tale from the Care Bears books. :) I also have the Care Bears Panini album completed will all the stickers.

So I was browsing the Care Bears tag on Tumblr when I stumbled upon these! (original pic by neptunableu)

I'm so excited for these! I can't really afford to collect large plushies (have Care Bears always been this expensive?! plus lack of space!), so I'll be definitely looking for these pocket-sized plushies!

(psst, also hoping they make World's Smallest of our hoofed, brushable friends too! ;) )

OMG I love these! I'll have to keep an eye out. I have the Pound Puppies and I'm glad they're making some other toylines.

I've discussed in the previous thread, but I have a pretty much complete collection of the bean bag plushies from the 2000's reboot, along with some others. They've been in storage for many years, but I plan on keeping them! There's quite a few bears from the 80's I'd love to get my hands on as well.

My favorite bear is Wish Bear, and my favorite plush-only bear is Work of Heart bear. My favorite cousins are Braveheart and NobleHeart!

Out of the cartoons, I prefer the DIC series. Not a super big fan of the newest CGI show honestly, but I do like the Nelvana series!

I'd love to get some new Care Bears stuff, it's my more quiet obsession but it's something very important to me. I especially love the new plushies they have at Nordstrom and the Care Bears x Hot Topic collection from earlier this year.

My collection is not organized yet so don't mind the mess. I recently got a collection room and it is in chaos being unpacked. So for now they are up but not put in order yet. I'm thinking I need another shelf too and possibly some risers. I mainly collect the 80's 13" and 6" Plush and the 20th Anniversary 13" Plush. I have some other misc gen plush and merch. I'm also loving the new 35th Anniversary Bears. I have Share and Cheer. Hoping for Funshine and Tenderheart to show up soon. I also love the Land of Nod bears and have Grumpy and Funshine on the way so will just be missing Cheer. I'm missing the UK cousins and True Heart still since they are out of my price range.

I've got a very small Care Bears collection. There's only three!

I've got a Cheer Bear beanbag plush from the early 2000s with her tag still attached (best thrift find in a while!), a really tiny Bedtime Bear (?) figurine carrying a blanket and wearing a cute hat (I believe this is from the late 2000s) and a Joke A Lot (?) from the new blind bags. 

I really want to get more and have been looking at them at thrift stores and flea markets, but I've got no clue about how much certain bears are worth, let alone the space to keep them.

Another long time Care Bear collector here.  Been there, done that, retired (put out to pasture?) to the MLP community.  I still pick up the occasional piece here or there (this year was Rainbow Heart Bear, last year I picked up the 'they should have done these years ago!' Build-A-Bear Care Bears).  Really though, I only pick up one of each new character as they show up.  Until the day when they make every single character all in one series so they match I just can't support the endless repeats of Tender Heart, Cheer, Grumpy, etc.

I'd like to hear more about the Nordstrom and the Care Bears x Hot Topic bears.  Any pics?

You can see the Land of Nod/Nordstrom Care Bears here https://www.landofnod.com/care-bears (https://www.landofnod.com/care-bears) Lots of people aren't liking them but I think they're adorable. Can't get them in Canada though so I'm waiting on a few to come in the mail from some fellow collectors. I also have the 3 Hot Topic Bears, forgot to mention those. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Post by: prancingstag on December 20, 2017, 01:52:31 AM
I always loved the designs and characterisation of the Care Bears but never got into collecting physical toys of them until the Build a Bear ones came out. I like the original 10 bears, the 10 cousins and also True Heart bear. Tenderheart and Wish have to be my top favourites though. I have Tenderheart, Funshine, Grumpy and Cheer from the BAB line. I'm hoping that they expand to include more - I can't fathom why they haven't done common favourites like Good Luck or Birthday or Bedtime yet!! Perhaps Good Luck will make an appearance one Patty's day in the future. :P
Title: Re: Care Bears Thread
Post by: Dreamer on December 20, 2017, 02:14:46 AM
Awww, I love the Build-A-Bear ones! But only Tenderheart and Share are available online and there's no BAB stores in my country. Plus, it would be a little too weird to ship a plush in my household  >_<

Here are the Hot Topic bears. They're pretty cute. I'm not sure where I'm going to display them yet since they look really off next to the other bears.

I won a Cheer Bear at the carnival today. I think it's a fakie because she's wonky here and there, but i still love her  :P Besides, it's the first time i win something decent at a carnival stand and i'm pretty glad.

(plus it only took me 3 tries, Care Bears are soooo expensive here! 33 euros a medium bear. Did that always happen?)

Great pictures, everyone! I'm loving all the adorable bears in this thread! :D
At long last, I got some pictures of my own Care Bears! The lighting in this room is awful today (patchy sunshine at a bad angle, now it's overcast and gross again) but the general jist is there. :P
My sister and I only ever had one Care Bear when we were kids, a little plush Love A Lot. She went missing at some point, I vaguely remember we'd taken her on a trip to the park and she disappeared. :/
I have a small collection at the minute because there's just a whole ton of different things that I'm into, and in my area, Care Bears are as scarce as hen's teeth - not to mention expensive when you actually can find them!

Here they are all together on the shelf; Rainbow Heart does come out of her box, I just kept it as a display case because she was a Christmas present and I thought it'd be nice to keep the whole kaboodle so she looks a bit glam. (Likewise with the Cosmic Cat Pinball, it looks great on display but it does get played with - you can't beat a bit of noisy fun.)

Itty bitty bears! The miniature Grumpy is the only old-school one in my collection thus far, but I am keeping an eye out for more of the old figurines.

Plushes all together with some photobombing cetaceans. I was lucky enough to find Grumpy and Heart Song in a sale while I was out of town (It would've been nice to get Braveheart Lion as well, but they didn't have any of the cousins!)

I got my first Bear in years last week! Found him in an antique store. Champ Bear NIB. I had Funshine NIB about 15 years ago but I was a kid and unboxed her. I don't usually like keeping toys in the box but having a care bear in box is special. My sister got Good Luck bear NIB back then too (also unboxed hers) and his tag said Birthday Bear!

As a kid, I had all 10 original 1984 bears, from ebay and antique stores, as well as 4 cousins (Lotsa, Swift Heart, Cozy Heart, Bright Heart). After they got washed in hot water when I was 9, only my mom's Love-a-lot bear survived perfectly, and swift heart rabbit and Tenderheart were mangy but salvageable. My mom replaced Grumpy, my favorite. I still have several 2000s bears but only intend to keep white anniversary Tenderheaet, mini Lotsa, mini loyal heart, and all my Grumpy bears.

I still want Proud Heart Cat but he seems even more rare than he was 15 years ago.

What's the going rate for vintage plushes?  I found a basket of 5-6 at a flea market yesterday, and they wanted $12 a bear.  Two baby Tugs plastic figures with bad muzzle rubs, they wanted $5 each.

Last I saw, $8-12 USD per plush, as of a year ago, $8-10 being most common.

They're in the Easter section with a bunch of small toys for Easter baskets. There are usually some other World's Smallest Toys in the same bin with them.

Re: Care Bears 25th Anniversary by Carlton Cards

Ive tried searching on the internet but didnt really find a list for the 25th Anniversary Care Bears that were avail at Carlton Cards. 

Ive seen many beanie 8" Panda Twins and beanie 8" Care Bear Cousins on Ebay.  My question is, were the Panda Twins and Cousins available in the larger 13" plush (non-beanie style)?  Or do they only exist as beanies?

Thank you :-)

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253618107194

ENDED auction.  I think I can remember the panda bears. Can't remember cousins... I was after the smaller beanies at the time.

It's so hard to remember because there was another collector type set at normal dept stores too (like at Target..) at the same time.

Here is some more info. You can dig on her page for a full list. Looks like there were a few cousins.

oH thank you BanditPony :heart:  Those are the Panda twins in 13"!!!  I need those :drunk: 

Yes, you are correct, it is the 20th anniversary

I went to KingdomofCaring, in the list it doesnt specify bears from Carlton Cards but Im assuming all the 13" bears are (there are 26 listed).  As far as the CB Cousins, I couldnt find anything re: Carlton Cards Care Bear Cousins or if they even exist in the 13" form???  (I know Target did release their CB Cousins in the larger 13-15" box w/ VHS). 

I have a set of 8" beanie cousins as well, but noticed some 20th anniv. 8" cousins for sale via Ebay listed as plush and others listed as beanies.  I would assume the coordinating cousins(same style bears as Carlton Card edition) were all beanies, because I only see pig and horse on Ebay in beanie form (both I dont have).

Is this correct?  Thanks :-)

The smaller Carlton Store 8inch size were all beanies.

And here is a 13" Cozy Heart Penguin, who looks to be from the Carlton Stores --

(Also an ENDED auction, just for reference) :( I feel like it's going to be annoying to figure out which ones actually had a release and which ones didn't.

I'm pretty sure I have almost all the 13" 20th Anniversary Bears (Missing America Cares, not sure he was released in Canada), I bought them all straight from Carlton Cards back when they were new and I worked in the mall. For cousins, there is Perfect and Polite Panda, Braveheart Lion, Lotsa Heart Elephant, Playful Heart Monkey, Loyal Heart Dog, Bright Heart Racoon and Cozy Heart Penguin. Here's a photo of my 20th Anniversary Bears, not the best but it's what I happened to have on my phone. They're all displayed by color, I've been playing around with how best to display them.

I saw the pics but wasnt sure.  Thanks SO MUCH for the clarification!  Love your collection as well  :inlove:

Each bear was around $15, how much do you think each care bear (no cousins) is worth as of right now? 

I had purchased a few CB with VHS, but those are worth pretty much nothing -_-  If i had a niece who loved CB, I woulld just gift her these for bdays and xmas (lol).  Also, sadly with this flodding of CB merchandise, the value of vintage 80s CB have dropped significantly.  Would it be better to hold or sell???

My sister is the carebear collector in my family, so most of the care bear stuff I have was either given to me by her and if I pick something up, she usually gets to keep it :)

But I do have a few things of my own.

Naynie gave me the elephant because she was given him and the lion at a carboot sale and she already had him so I got him.

I have Share and Champ from the original small range. I don't really know why. I just never could part with them.

As a child the only thing I had was a Gentleheart poseable which I do still have now, somewhere.

I also had a glass with Good Luck bear on and it was one of my special treasures as a kid. I still have it somewhere I think. Because of that, I have little plush Good Luck bear in his box, and I also have a poseable, and a few ceramic and other GL bear things. I guess if I was going to collect CBs properly, it would just be a Good Luck collection.

All this is G1 stuff except I have a more recent 2000s GL beanie somewhere.

Dang, Proud Heart sewing pattern from Butterick is $25 on Etsy while the other care bears are mostly  $5-10. Anyone seen the pattern for cheaper anywhere? I may need to take on a commission or two to help cover the cost. Doing Butterick commissions probably would be a good idea on a forum like this, anyway.

I don't collect Care Bears, but I do like squishies and I found there are squishy Care Bears.  I don't know if they'll sell out.  But I thought Care Bear fans might be interested:

Good luck! He shouldn't be hard to find. I got a nice one for $8-12 on the MLPTP within the past year.


In other news, I got a Proud Heart pattern in the Halloween swap on here and the fur I got for it had a misleading description so I don't have nearly enough. However, I did get a commission! Someone wants Proud Heart but with a magnetic stomach for interchangeable symbols, white main color, and teal for paws/stomach/muzzle. It's gonna look neat.

I got the 25th anniversary Tenderheart Bear and the fuzzy Funshine Bear on Sunday, and the other three today, all five from the antique mall. I'm trying to think of how I can give myself space for more bears. Thinking about maybe putting a lot of my fakies into storage and just keeping out my favorites, perhaps. That would give me a lot more space for bears.

This antique mall is the second place she's had a spot in, but it didn't work out at the first place (kind of a long story so I won't get into it), and now we've got her space set up there. Anyway, so I'm going to be spending a lot more time there now so I'm probably going to be getting a lot more bears there lol.

The 25th anniversary Tenderheart looks great on display. It's not the softest so mine always ends up either in a box or on display. XD I ought to dig out the DVD that came with mine. The pilot episode is particularly nostalgic for me cuz I got it on VHS accidentally as a kid, recorded over a Scooby-Doo tape I got from a friend.

Hello, I only have a small  collection of care bears but i do hope i can add to it as the year goes by. :biggrin:
 For starters i have, Tenderheart and Sunshine bear by Kenner, both 7". 3 Macdonalds bears, sunshine, Cheery, and Make a wish Bears, and lovely Harmony Bear by hasbro. bacck in the 80's i had some of the small plastic bears, but i'm not too sure what became of them. :blush:

Amanda34 your collection sounds cute. The old Kenner plushies are my favorites.



 I got a small Champ Bear plush for Christmas  (from the same antique store where I got my NIB Champ plush) but more importantly, I finished my custom Proud Heart Cat plushie commission!

Hello Khoufu, Oh your champ cat custom plushie is so lovely!!!. :)   I made a mistake in my list though :blush:I said my 2007 harmony is by Hasbro, oooops no, It's sunshing merchandising (I think!) it's worn off the label and so hard to read.

I also forgot to mention my lovely vintage Jigsaw that i have, by Jumbo. and a vintage video, which sadly i can no longer watch! both have lovely artwork on them.

Since the 2000s reboot according to the wiki. So that would be 2002 I think?

I don't recognize the style that Secret Bear & Tenderheart have... when were they made if you know?


They posted a teaser for the new series. The art is cute but I'm pretty unhappy with some of the voice choices honestly.

I agree but I'm still looking forward to it. :) Even if I'm sure it'll be *shrug*

I'm hoping they dump the series all in one go so I can binge watch it. I don't really do streaming services.

It sounds like it's actually going to be "streaming", so it might end up available through VRV to binge? I'm not sure when/how I'll get to watch though, since I don't have cable or VRV to acess boomerang  :cry:

I’m also a little hesitant about the new show. I tried to get in to the last show “Adventures in Care a Lot” (the one with Wonderheart wanting to get her “belly badge” ) but it didn’t hold my interest for very long. 

I never understood why Champ was changed to blue. I think the original Secret Bear was light orange?

Post by: Khoufu on January 09, 2019, 03:53:40 PM
Yeah old Secret looked a lot like Friend Bear. I still regret not being able to buy the old Secret Bear I saw at an antique store in the early 00s. It even worked.

Champ Bear's color has always been an odd issue. On my original NIB Champ, the art is yellow but he's tan?

I have to sadly walk away from 99% of the CB stuff I find because I don't have the money right now. There are very few exceptions if I found them at  thrift store, but most purchases have to wait.  On my collection side of things... I have some really cute things for babies :)

This thread makes one tempted to collect way more CBs. That is one slippery slope though. The 20th Anniversary plush are especially tempting. Shy Violet can you name all the bears in your picture of 20th Anniversary CBs too?  Wish Bear, Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs, Grams Bear and vintage style Share Bear are my favorites. I had Lotsa Heart Elephant and Tenderheart (thrift find) as a kid. I also had a folding comb with Cheer Bear on it and a purple suitcase with Bright Heart Raccoon and another character on a raft on a rainbow river on it. I have quite a few vintage characters and a few newer ones here and there. I mainly collect the pvc minis and have 2 of the collectors cases too. I find way more CB stuff than MLP. I also have the movie soundtrack.

Does anyone know if the Nelvana series was ever released? I have both movies and the DIC series but not those.

Care Bears are a great collection and I find they're not expensive (for the North American releases) and come up at thrift stores quite often. So for 20th Anniversary bears I have there: True Heart, Harmony, Share, Grumpy, Grams, Good Luck, Wish, Bedtime, Surprise, smaller Bedtime, Day Dream, Cheer, Love a Lot, Tender Heart, Friend, Funshine, smaller Funshine, Hugs and Tugs, Champ, Birthday and Secret. I'm pretty sure I have them all except America Cares, as I mentioned before., but I have had trouble finding a good list of all the releases.

I'd love to see pictures of all your stuff!

I have both the DIC and Nelvana series on DVD. I'm not super familiar with all the episodes so I looked them up. I have lots of doubles it looks like, lol. Hopefully one day they'll release the Wonderland movie on dvd.

Thanks Shy Violet. Where did you get the Nelvana series? Do you have a purchase link? So, the two specials look like they’re not on DVD, or is that the one LBS was talking about? It looks like your Nelvana set is possibly incomplete? I don’t see Grams Thanksgiving on there or the food trivia episode listed. My collection is currently in storage but hopefully within the next year that will be remedied as I finally have the space for a collection room!

I have no idea where I got them. I looked through all my amazon purchases back to 2003 and it wasn't from there so I probably bought them at HMV at some point or another store in person. Looks like I bought some Rainbow Brite and MLP dvds 10 years ago so I could have bought the CB dvd's at any point in the last 10 years or so. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I tend to buy things as I come across them, hence why I have some random dvds with random episodes. According to wikipedia, it's missing King of the Moon and Giving Thanks. But I have not gone through and checked all the episodes yet even though I have a hand written list in my wallet, lol. And it looks like this dvd set was released in 2012 so that's probably when I bought it. And I just found it on Amazon so you're all set. I'm also missing the 2 specials.

It'll be so nice to get your collection out of storage! That's how mine has been for 15 years. We finally developed our basement a year ago and the bedroom is my collection room. I am already out of space though, lol. Lots of organizing still.

Original Proud Heart was $500 last I checked. I wish I'd have gotten her 15 years ago when she was $50 on ebay. That's why I got a pattern and will be making my own instead. Already made a white version with teal tummy/etc.

It's very weird. Originally when they were announced there was a Tenderheart shown but I've never heard of anyone finding him. Both Tenderheart and Funshine are on the box art so maybe they planned to make more and then they didn't do well?

Any Care Bears experts out there who can show me the cutest Secret Bear and Wish Bear plushies? They are my favorites and I feel lost in a sea of bears, old and new.

Is there a visual guide to compare plushies or something?

What’s been happening with Care Bears recently?? Is there a currently running show? I was walking through the toy aisle earlier and picked up an adorable 8 inch True Heart plushie, they also had older characters like Love-a-Lot and Birthday who I didn’t expect to see, but I love them. Trying to do some googling now to see if I can pick up all 10 original characters but the assortment listings are not giving me much joy, lots of pictures of new bears but no names!

Yes, Unlock The Magic on Boomerang. It's super cute with a neat soundtrack.
I hope they'll do a second season.

They seem like new style beanie plush toys. They’re small, super soft and squishy, and have a piece of felt for the tuft on their head, instead of hair strands. I think I finally figured out the assortment... wave 1 seems to be True Heart, Birthday, Daydream, Share, Cheer and Shine Bright. Wave two seems to be Love-a-Lot, Funshine, Bedtime, Sweet Dreams, Best Friend and Cheer (again).

Grumpy, Funshine, and Bedtime are my faves. I still have my childhood Baby Funshine, and I love them a lot! I would try to get Grumpy and Bedtime but I’m a huge germophobe/scared of bugs so I don’t buy plush secondhand. If I had the experience to clean and restuff them maybe...

Post by: Ragamuffin on November 23, 2019, 08:42:11 PM
My favourite bear is Friend Bear, who always gets left out of merch, so I wouldn't be interested in picking anything up that isn't her. I care more about the Cousins tbh, but they never seem to want to do anything with them. :rolleyes: Luckily Brave Heart is probably my #1 Cousin, and he's the Main One, so he gets merch over the others. But then there's Proud Heart that gets next to nothing, and Noble Heart and Treat Heart who actually DO get nothing... They always bring back True Heart, but NOT Noble Heart...?! Where's the logic in that?


I bought Kenner figures of Brave Heart and Friend Bear over the summer. I'd like to maybe get as many figures as I can if I regain interest (Treat Heart and Proud Heart are apparently impossible to get a hold of so they're out of the question). I'd probably get Grams next but I've been keeping my eyes peeled for Champ Bear too.

Plushes are sort of off-limits because I don't have the room and, like Ponyboy, I don't really trust secondhand plushes.

Ragamuffin, I think I have most of the old figures too except the ones never made, hard to find or were just test figures (Proud, Loyal, Playful, and Treatheart, as well as Secret Bear).  If I had the money I would like to have some customs made.  There are some nice ones out there.

Weird, I swear they had all 4 for over a year now. I remember seeing them awhile ago and asking for Share for Christmas a year ago. I was disappointed when I saw a box last week that only showed Share and Cheer. Meanwhile I saw the set of 4 on clearance at another Target a couple days ago.

Looked for the Toy Fair 2020 new bears and OH MY GOSH I didn't think of them getting EVEN CUTER, the new cartoon style has been really kind to them in toy form! I love all the little new expressions! And the plushes and the figures and the keychains - ooooh this is going to be an amazing year for Care Bears! My poor boy Tenderheart is back to being orange but I can get behind that

I do think they look cute, but still no Friend Bear. I guess that's sort of the fault with Unlock the Magic being focused on a few characters, but it seems like they never make Friend Bear merch anyway.

:zzz:
Title: Re: Care Bears Thread
Post by: Dreamer on February 24, 2020, 10:17:36 AM
That's too bad, Ragamuffin, Friend Bear is so nice... recently I got a capsule figurine of them, and it's the nicest one I got so far! All I got before was two silly-looking Good Lucks, a Bedtime and a Funshine.

But I do agree they should expand the line later on. Bring back the rest of the bears! Especially the rest of the main 10 ones (Birthday, Friend, Love-A-Lot...), although I'd love it if they added some of the 2000s bears (as I said before, one of my faves is Do Your Best) and the cousins!
Title: Re: Care Bears Thread
Post by: Rychu on February 24, 2020, 10:33:04 AM
If the release of this line is going to be anything like the last line, they will probably release more and more characters as time goes by. By the time the last line stopped producing bearing a couple years ago, they had made products for nearly every single bear, plus a few new ones. Friend bear took a while at first to come out last time but she got her fair share of merch. I expect this time will not be much different
Title: Re: Care Bears Thread
Post by: Khoufu on February 27, 2020, 08:17:59 AM
Yeah some bears definitely get more merch than others. I don't see much of Birthday, Friend, Secret, Tenderheart, Champ, or the cousins.

I mostly  do the Poseable vintage Care Bears, as they're the ones I used to have wi the childhood collection. I have picked up a few plush over the years, but for me the poseables are the better ones as they integrate wi my Pony collection. Here are mine (minus cousins & plush) in the Lullabye Nursery. As you can see they're very busy bears!!!

I'd looove to add more plushies to my collection! So far I've got a Tenderheart, a bootleg Cheer Bear I got from a carnival, a small Hopeful Heart, and a World's Smallest Share Bear (who can resist such a lovely milkshake symbol?). They're all from the most recent release of Care Bears, and I'm not necessarily looking for retro bears.

I'm very tempted on the BAB Care Bears but I don't know if I should get those or wait until the Unlock the Magic ones come here. I'd especially love another Cheer Bear. I have a soft spot for Carnival Cheer since she's a funfair prize, but she's stiff and scratchy  :yikes:

My collection is not organized yet so don't mind the mess. I recently got a collection room and it is in chaos being unpacked. So for now they are up but not put in order yet. I'm thinking I need another shelf too and possibly some risers. I mainly collect the 80's 13" and 6" Plush and the 20th Anniversary 13" Plush. I have some other misc gen plush and merch. I'm also loving the new 35th Anniversary Bears. I have Share and Cheer. Hoping for Funshine and Tenderheart to show up soon. I also love the Land of Nod bears and have Grumpy and Funshine on the way so will just be missing Cheer. I'm missing the UK cousins and True Heart still since they are out of my price range.

Thank you! 5 of them are childhood bears and the majority of the rest I collected in high school from flea markets and garage sales and the 20th Anniversary bears I bought new as they were released. The UK bears have been my main focus as an adult collector  :)

I had some Care Bears as a child. Cheer Bear, Share Bear, and Swift Heart Rabbit. I think there were a few more but I can't remember for sure. Sadly my mom gave them away. I don't even remember when one day they were just gone. I gave her a hard time about it for a long time. She thought i didn't want them anymore.

Care Bears were actually my gateway to collecting MLP and Littlest Pet Shop. My BF was tired of me complaining about my mom giving away my Care Bears (it had a big impact for some reason). So he told me to just go on Ebay and replace them. I'm sure he regrets that over 250+ ponies and LPS later.

My stuff animals and Care Bears are packed away to keep them safe from my dogs. I need to get them back out soon so I can complete my collection :)

I saw that too (whilst searching for new pony news) but would have to see them in-person first before deciding to buy them; my childhood originals will always be so special to me, but if my kid falls for the new ones then I will happily buy a few for her (and indulge in the fun through her!!)  :biggrin:

There's no poseable Proud Heart to add to my collection, but I found this little ceramic cutie.  Now I just need Playful and Treat Heart if they make one.

I dont like them as much as i liked the 2014 line but they are still super soft and expressive (even if sometimes bordering on creepy lol). Just waiting for inevitablely Australia getting some amazing exclusives like they have with both care bears and ponies in the past. They were releasing new 2014 style bears in Australia right up till these new ones started popping up in the US

Does anyone know if the new (modern style/2020)blind- packaged figures (from Walmart) have codes? I really want to get the set but I don't want to end up with duplicates and people on ebay are charging almost triple for out of package ones.

If anyone is willing to sell the tenderheart and/or wish bear from this set to me, please send me a message! These are the last two mini figures I need to complete the set. (I can pay using paypal or buy from you on ebay or mercari)

I was commissioned to make a Treat Heart Pig plushie. I made him using a vintage Butterick pattern, I did modify the tail as I wasn't keen on the one the pattern suggested.

Spied these in Walmart the other week, ended up looking them up online, and now I might have a new collection, oh dear. I don’t have the money or room for the plush, and smart toys make me antsy (also they’re really expensive, also the heat here has a habit of melting anything with internal wiring (RIP my Shine Bright Fluttershy and both my Nintendo DS’s, victims of global warming)), so I’m looking at the minifigs. I haven’t seen the blindbags anywhere, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout - otherwise I’ll just buy the rainbow set of 5 from Walmart.

I know I had some figures when I was a kid. I wonder if any are still floating around here...?

Found a special collector plush edition at Walmart. I don't like Harmony Bear's new design. $25 for 5 is a good deal, but I have no one to share the ones I don't want with.

Helpful Heart Bat was designed by Veertje on the UKPC Discord. I saved the pic of her art, but here is a linkie to her Discord submission

I loved it & suggested it be glow in the dark & Kitty & Veertje both went YEP!!!

I am the proud current owner of brushable Nobleheart & the other four cousins as well as future owner of watermelon Care Bat.

In case you missed it Kitty I will need a Trueheart as well...

It started off with just the left half of the top row, but the more i put up the more...i wanted to put up XD. I had to take down a few posters, move my diploma to a new wall, and even move a few thing on my desk shelf around. Worth it. Now i want to try to remove the tiny white shelf and put even more on the wall XD

Can you believe this is less than 20% of my collection!?!?! I have over 400 now. Ever since i was kid i dreamed of being in a room where every wall and the ceiling was covered in care bears, not empty space, just care bears. This display is the closest ill probably ever get to that XD. At least until i have a place where i can dedicate a whole room to them haha.

I don't think I ever saw the Care Bears cartoon. I read one or two of the old books (which I think are a different universe) when I was little and wanted the bears because of that, but I never got one.

Looks like it suits dolls of her size, but not so much the bear, & I'm not sure a Soft Newborn could sleep in one either. They tend to fit in baby doll sleeping bags

I can understand why no ponies but I wonder why they went with Care Bears instead of Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brite?
Title: Re: Care Bears Thread
Post by: lovesbabysquirmy on October 02, 2020, 02:38:33 PM
Probably because Cloudco is a business that Mattel has had successful business relationships with in the past.  Strawberry was sold from Cloudco's IP portfolio and went into the hands of another company that Mattel has not had a great business relationship with in the past.  And Rainbow is owned by its original company still, and has no plans to partner with anyone.
