I am having a hard time finding these, especially now that EVERYONE has jumped on the bandwagon! They are also cousins on top of the bears, and these are just as hard to find for the same reasons.
For more information, there are different types of Care Bears being re-released, but you'll have to check information to find out more.
This doesn't include all the other stuff out there, colouring books, blankets, pillows, lunch boxes, stickers, plastic figurines, etc. The books, movies and TV shows are even being re-released. I already own a blanket, colouring books, notebooks, pens and a DVD version of the first movie: The Care Bears Movie. Apparently this movie is VERY hard-to-find, on VHS or DVD. I have also seen the 2nd and 3rd movies on DVD, as well as TV shows.
As for the older Care Bears, I have one. Found at a thrift store. This is a TEAL (not blue) Care Bear, making him a 1983. For those who might not know, for about a year, Bedtime Bear was teal and Wish Bear was aqua. Finally, someone noticed there was a mistake and the colors were switched back. Still a story was written about the color switch to explain it. A teal Care Bear does not make him more valuable but does make him an early bear. Mine is in mint condition, his letters are all perfect on his red heart on his tush. He even has curl in his hair!
For the rest of you out there, keep trying to find them, new or old...these Bears are back and everyone is buying them up!!
