Post by: teacher316 on March 01, 2012, 07:07:36 PM: Not vintage. I think they were made in 2000 or 2002. Anybody have one?

Post by: RAMChYLD on March 01, 2012, 11:17:14 PM: hmmm... 2000-2002... I don't think Play Along made plushes that big... Most likely Nanco, Betesh Group or Carlton Canada? (Betesh Group bears usually have embroidered eyes tho).

Post by: teacher316 on March 02, 2012, 07:10:42 PM: I think your right. I have the white one with stars and stripes and it's labeled Carlton Cards. Your birthday bear is yellow and yellow hearts so maybe it was american greetings or play along that made that one? They are VERY hard to find!

Post by: fingerpaints on March 03, 2012, 02:31:35 AM: I had an orangey coloured one but get rid of it years ago, he was a 13" with orange feet. I remember because he was the only birthday bear that has passed through my hands. He was a real cutie too.

This is what he looked like (thanks google! lol!)

To the OP, good luck in your quest. I've been meaning to pick Care Bear collecting back up ... when I run into some more money, haha.

Post by: teacher316 on March 03, 2012, 07:03:22 PM: fingerpaints-that is adorable! I have a pic of my daughter when she was 2 dressed as a care bear sitting next to 1 of the jumbo ones. They are the same size so it's too cute:)

Hmmm... I thought the largest Play Along Toys bears were 24". Or was it only in the AiCAL generation that the largest was 24"?
