hum..define '1990s' please.The cartoon from the 80s was still going on super strong in the 90s..I was watching it up until I believe the mid 90s--after MLP stopped completely.
I'm not sure the year/series either. but this toy said 1991 and it was different than any official CB I've ever seen. when my girl first showed me I was like "meh, CB Fakie"... but then I did a double take when I saw it was official!
The Environmentals have their fans (Dewprincess on this forum is one of the foremost experts on them) but they burn my eyes every time I look at them (I don't and won't collect them).There was no new cartoon for this batch of bears, they just continued running the '80s DiC and Nelvana series (they didn't even modify the cartoon like Generation 2 Transformers did with the stupid Cybernetic Space Cube). There were, however, books, Valentines, cards, etc. like usual.They weren't the only Care Bears of the 1990s, as a Midwestern chain called Shopko put out a line of three bears in 1995 (these were not Environmentals) and at the tail end of the decade six beanlings came out (and sold well) which is what really brought them out of hibernation a few years later.Also, of note, the white bear in the picture isn't America Cares (who didn't come out until the 2002 relaunch of the franchise) but Proud Heart Bear (yes, the reused the name from Proud Heart Cat). There are two different versions - one with an American flag and a rarer Canadian flag variant (only available in the large 36" size).
Just noticed you have Friend Bear listed as Forest Friend (a different bear who was only available in the UK).Here's a good reference guide for the Environmentals:http://kingdomofcaring.net/me/collection/1990_27s_20Items/index.htmlAnd here's Forest Friend:http://kingdomofcaring.net/me/collection/13_20Inch_20Vintage_20Plush/images/thumb07.jpgAnd the matching Sea Friend:http://kingdomofcaring.net/me/collection/13_20Inch_20Vintage_20Plush/images/thumb05.jpgKingdom of Caring and Care Bears Forever are the best CB resources on the web:http://kingdomofcaring.net/http://www.wishbear.net/
