Anyone collect the current Care Bears plushies?

[Lucky_Ladybug]

I'm after a few of them, specifically Bedtime, Wish, and Good Luck. I'm wondering if they have been released in all three sizes (small, medium, and large) and how long they've been out. I saw one huge Bedtime a month ago, but couldn't get him at the time, and now that Wal-Mart doesn't have him anymore. I haven't seen him anywhere else, either, so I'm wondering if they're newly out and I'll have many chances to be able to find him in the future. Also, I'm starting to question whether those three have come out in all sizes, as I can't find all sizes listed online. The big Bedtime is the only one eBay has, as well as small Wish and medium Good Luck. I believe I saw a medium Wish on Amazon, but now I'm not sure. I don't suppose there's a website that shows all the Just Play releases? Their own website was no help.

Not yet but, I some really nice throw back style Care Bears at TrU and if they'd only made some of my personal favorites and reintroduced the Cousins, I'd definitely snag a few

I am seriously trying very hard to resist the urge to start collecting them but Grumpy and Funshine Bear are catching my eye too much (they're always been my favourites.) Good luck with finding the bears you're looking for!

Thank you!

I don't really care for Funshine's personality in the most recent cartoon, but I do feel very nostalgic and sentimental about him for remembering merchandise with him (her? I heard s/he was a girl at first) from the 1980s. I'm seriously considering getting a plushie of him if my Wal-Mart still has him on Monday.

Grumpy I got this past week. I was very excited to find him at the Wal-Mart we went to, since he hadn't previously been at that one!

I would but I don't really have the space.

At this point I only pick up new Care Bear plush if it's a new character.  I have enough of the same six characters to last a lifetime...  If they ever decide to issue all the characters in one consistent style of plush that's similar to their original 1980s design I'll get all of them.  Until such time as my dream of a complete matching set in one size is realized, I must refrain from wasting money chasing endless variations on Cheer, Funshine, Grumpy, and Tender Heart.

Um, I seriously keep coming across Care Bears (and cousins) all over! I think they're all the ones from the early 2000s, though. I just bought two at Walgreens on clearance and their tags say 2004...

Anyway, I don't collect them, so most of them are available for trade, if anyone is interested. My sales page (in my signature) is also stuff I can trade, and the Care Bears are all there. I don't know all of their names, so take a look and see if any are the ones you're looking for.

I pretty much only want one plush of each character, as per my usual habits, but I might break said habit if I particularly like a character in two sizes. I sympathize with your problem, though; as of now, the line is spread out across the three sizes, with some only available in one or two of them, and it can be puzzling trying to decide whether to focus on only getting ones that align, size-wise, or to just get a character I want even if they come in a lesser-desired size.

Thanks for your offer! I actually prefer the newer designs and that's what I'm after. But you definitely have some nice ones.
