I have a huge plush collection but sadly they are all in boxes right now until we develop the basement and I can set up my pony/toy room. I have a couple pics of my special ones.

Mine are all in boxes too. Been collecting for 16 years but stop with vintage and the 20th Ann editions only.

Zzzova, I like your display case and it looks like you have awesome toy collection! You should show the rest!

Shy Violet, awesome collection of rare bears! What are the names of the 3 on top? I don't have any rare ones just the commoners ;)

Yeah, I collect the 80's ones and the 20th anniversary ones, too! I'm not real sure where my 20th anniversary ones went- they might even be at my parents' house still. I still need to take pics of my bears.

I checked my phone and photobucket and I do have some pics!

Very old pic-

Was just passing through after a several year hiatus, figure I'd share a few of mine. These are from various setups I've had, and currently, much like everyone else mine are packed away!

As well, lovely UK exclusives shy violet, I have a surprise bear (though not nearly as in nice condition) but still waiting to get daydream and harmony.

I have MANY more pics on https://www.flickr.com/photos/97583013@N02/ mostly to look at all the stuff that's packed away, as well I'm always moving stuff around to make room.

Mine are also packed away :( If I can find photos from when I was younger I'll also post them.

I do have a (complete?) collection of the 2000's reboot bean bag plushies, some larger bears, and lots of VHS's. I plan to move them into my pony room one day.

This one is special because my mom never really cared(no pun intended lol!) for or supported my toy collecting.  But she saw this Grumpy bear at an auction and bought him for me!

Beautiful collections..

I finally managed to get photobucket working. Still got LOADS of gaps to fill. This is only a small portion. I"m holding off collecting the newer bears... so long as they don't turning up around here I should be fine :)

I love all of your collections!  :inlove:

Thanks! They are Daydream Bear, Surprise Bear and Harmony Bear. My preciouses.  :hearts:

I have the 20th Anniversary bears too. Can't wait to have them all displayed again.

Your bears all look in such beautiful condition and I love your Grumpy! Most of mine were garage sale and flea market finds back in 2000ish so they vary in condition. Once I get them all out of storage I can see who I need to upgrade.


As well, lovely UK exclusives shy violet, I have a surprise bear (though not nearly as in nice condition) but still waiting to get daydream and harmony.


Thanks! The best part is I found them at a thrift store for $5 each. And they are mint! Luckiest find ever!
I have a couple more UK bears but don't have pics. I'm slowly working on collecting all the UK bears.

Your collection looks amazing!

[Insert expression of desperate longing someplace in here]

Even as a Kid I thought Noble and True heart were the BEST...loved the second movie that introduced them, still do. He's SO amazingly awesome...*sighs* absolutely stunning. The only Care Bear I'd want more is the 'Harmony bear' prototype...she was gorgeous, and I always really liked her in the movie too, least they made an anniversary retro one.

These aren't the greatest photos, but I was finally able to take some pictures of my CB plush collection. :) I do have some keychains, minis and posables, but I'm still working on the collection corner so they're kinda scattered here and there.. :lol:

My collection was HUGE - I loved the Care Bears growing up and still do. :) Sad to say, most got ruined via mildew/mold in a [not water proof!] shed out back of our home in the early '90s. The only ones I kept inside with me were my big Bedtime (first bear I had gotten), Share and Secret and so they are the only ones from my original collection. I saved the 13" Bedtime, Birthday, Friend, Love-a-Lot, Tenderheart, (and another Bedtime, that I traded away) along with the bigger (MINTY!!) Tenderheart, and the mini Grumpy & Love-a-Lot all from the trash/impending doom!
Long story in spoiler! :D

Spoiler
I had just started working at a newspaper, and one of my co-workers got fired my second or third day there.. I was in a shocked state as you can imagine, but she didn't think it was a big deal (another long story!) :lol: So anyway, I felt sorry for the girl, who started loading up her belongings in boxes on the spot. I asked her if she needed help, and she accepted, so I grabbed a box and followed her outside to her car. She popped the trunk and my jaw dropped.. I saw Care Bears in garage bags. I squealed and asked her, "CARE BEARS!! What are they doing in your trunk?!" She said, "Oh, I was gonna trash them or give them to Goodwill.. . . You want them? "YES!" I shrieked.. So after I helped her load her stuff in her car, she helped me load all the bears she had in my trunk and there they are with me! :D The same girl also gave me that nice 13" Grumpy as a birthday present a few years later..I figured it was one of the ones she kept for herself, but she knew I collected Care Bears.. :P

I really don't have any rare ones, but I'm pretty proud of that minty Share Bear and nice 'still talks!' Secret Bear I kept inside, both my mom picked picked up for me at a garage sale back in the late '80s for 50 cents each. :) ^.^

So I dug through my boxes and sadly I don't have an I Love You Bear (but now I'm on the hunt, lol) but I do have this funky Maverick. I included my little Sea Friend and True Heart for the picture. I also have a 12" Forest Friend in another box somewhere but he was a newer addition so he's in a box with dolls from when we moved last Fall. I'm so excited to develop the basement and finally unpack all my ponies and bears. So back to the Maverick, he has a tush heart but not a tag. And he has that silly looking face that a lot of the Maverick bears have.

Yeah, funny..I've found more Care Bears in the wild than ponies..  :P Another cool thing, I found a mini Wish Bear while out antique shopping on my birthday last year... I didn't have him - ever, not even as a kid, so it was a pretty exciting find. :biggrin:

...Me three, just last year I found THREE, count 'em three vintage brave heart lions, and they were all mint...at the same goodwill. How nutty is that? Used to be when I was younger, I'd only find well loved bears in the wild, lately it's been all mint, never touched or played with bears. I even found a champ bear, friend bear, and a wish bear last December...then another wish bear earlier this year. Not that I'm complaining of course, it just seems that it would've been the other way around, finding more 'loved' bears now and 'mint' ones earlier on...Definitely barely ever find ponies as often, and NEVER in pristine shape...

oh and shy violet, loving that Cheer-ish bear...reminded me I have a really goofy goodluck bear, with birthday bears mouth! I'll have to get a photo of him he's buried in here...someplace.

I found a Cheer bear last night at Goodwill and I left her behind. She was faded and missing some clumps of fur :( It wasn't easy to leave her. I sat her up on top of the pile in the front hoping someone would find her. I think I have only left one other Care Bear behind at a thrift store.

The worst one I ever found was a cheer bear too, she was terribly faded, thinning fur, snagged symbol that was almost unrecognizable, torn off nose, scratched eyes, missing her tail, cut kiss curl...

still bought her though *lol* I don't think I kept her, but she was in a big garbage bag at a garage sale with a gentle heart lamb that was in only 'slightly' better condition, still have her I think.

I saw some of the care bears themselves last night, no cousins yet...I already learned my lesson not to bother with those things when they first started putting the care bears in there back in '05. So many lost quarters...

They're supposed to be coming out with 'actual' boxed plushes of the cousins, so I'll just wait for those, least I'll spend $20 and actually GET something :-p

admittedly I've never been a big fan of 'play alongs' take on the bears, they just were never that great and their noble heart mini plush looked like a hippo...*lol* But I'm REALLY digging this companys take, and I love the brave-heart plush...almost as much as the vintage one. And true heart, too...

Still missing those elaborately detailed silk-screened tummy symbols of yesteryear though...

I know right? I love these new ones, they're my favorites of all the company's that've made them more recently.

Oh and neat! Are they newer patterns or older ones? I used to have the older care bears 'ornaments' patterns, wish I still did I made quite a few of those when I was younger, too.
