I had 3 carebears. One was funshine bear and my mom made that one for me. The other two were the same and had rainbows on thier bellies. One of the two had a weird eye and that was the "evil" one.

I used to hold it in my arm when I sleep in my bed as a kid one time.

Vintage Care Bears were SO much better than the ones they have today. Their eyes weren't all shiny and the symbol on their tummy was actually embroidered instead of cloth sewn on. There are plenty on eBay and they are a lot cheaper now that there are new Care Bears!

Loved the Care Bears. My mom used to make me Care Bears pillows! I think I still have a few. I also had the Care Bears board game!

One of my favorite 80s toys! I had PVC miniatures, poseables, plush bears, books, VHS movies... I still buy "new" plush Care Bears. Dare I say I like them better now? ;)

They are back!

I had a stuffed Cheer Bear and it was a little one. She was smiling and her tongue was hanging out. I still have her.

I had birthday bear, and still do. I remember my neighbor that I grew up with , in their basement over the fire place was a rainbow like structure made out of bricks. She had all the care bears and we would put them at one end of that "rainbow" and crawl over it and pretend we were in "care bear land". Oh the memories.

I loved the care bears

I never forget the time 23 years ago when I was 7 years old when my father gave me a blue Care Bear when I was in a foster home. The lady that was taking care of the foster kids took that Care Bear, and gave it to her granddaughter and claiming that she bought it for her. Nevertheless, I remember those Care Bears and the cartoons.

carebears rock!!!!!! i may only be 11 but i still now alot about carebears. i have over 30 care bears. and blankets, clothing, and a backpack.

wait a minute, where are the small little plastic ones?

By the time I was 6, I had Bright Heart Raccoon, Lotsa Heart Elephant and Funshine Bear. I don't know where I got them all from. I don't know what happened to them. I'm glad they made a come back. I have Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs, Swiftheart rabbit all of Ebay, Funshine Bear with rabbit ears headband, Carebear figurines made just a few years ago, Cheer Bear and Care Bear vhs and DVD sets. When I was a baby, I used to have the care bear sheets and pillow cases. I also have a metal Care bear Cousins metal lunckh box with thermos from a flea market two years ago that I bought, along with the sheets.

another family hand me down, my cousin Jen had them, I got them, and now my little cousin Kara has the same ones that have been handed down from Jen, to me, to her, and some of the 2000s carebears, I'm a senior in HS and grandma bought me one cuz I was like all "you should get this for Kara its limited edition!" and grandma knew I wanted it, I wanna buy another one so I can take one out of the box and keep the other one in the box so I can sell it to a toy collector in the future. Its so cute and its got swarovski crystal accents in like the eyes.

My favorite bear is Wish Bear. I always felt so connected to him(her?) because I was a big dreamer as a kid. ^^

The newer ones are still cute, but not as cute as the classic. They brought out a 25th anniversary one with a DVD. There's a new Care Bear show on television now, and you can see a few clips or episodes on youtube, but it looks stupid. I've seen a few.

I always have been and still am a big Care Bear fan! I love Tenderheart Bear and even have done mascot appearances as my favorite Care Bear. You can see videos of some of those on YouTube.

I got Bedtime Bear for my 10th birthday (I'm 35 now). I still have him along with few of the newer bears. Hehe he still looks good for a 25 yr old bear, and gets a hug now and then still.

I had lovs a lot bear as a child in the 80's now I have an 80 cheer and Grams bear too. Grams is missing her shal.

I have Harmony Bear!!!

i used to have an original love a lot bear when they first came out with them. now i have a newer big version of love a lot. i want to get a grumpy bear and he is hard to find.

My dad's friend gave my older sister & I Care Bears. I had a blue one & my sister had a pink one. My younger sister didn't get a Care Bear instead she got this toy dog dressed in a scottish outfit (haha). Eventually my dog got the Care Bears & thw toy dog.

Care Bears rock! I got one of the original 80s plushies (Friendship Bear) as a child, and still have her today. I like seeing these cute little bears in stores and I watch the new tv series as well.

I use to have them

had a dozen or so plastic bears and a house that was the shape of a heart with an outside slide.

I used to have a lighted hard plastic ... nightlight (??) that sang Brahms Lullaby. It had the bears happy as can be on their rainbow. I'm 27 years old and nothing has ever calmed me like that nightlight did. If anyone remembers this toy or has any suggestions on how to search for a new one, please email me. luckie_lucie@hotmail.com I would do almost anything to replace the toy, as neither of my parents remembers what happened to the original. Thanks

I had all the 80's care bears when I was little. My family was too poor to buy them new, so I would go to the thrift stores every week and search through the huge tubs of toys for care bears. My mom gave them away without telling me, and I was devastated. Now I'm 21 and I have started buying the vintage ones off of ebay. The new ones are nowhere close to the great oldies!

As a child I had Tenderheart Bear and the pink one with hearts on it's tummy (the name escapes me). As an adult, I started collecting them, and I now have quite a few besides those two: Bedtime Bear, Share Bear, Wish Bear, Good Luck Bear, Grumpy Bear, Funshine Bear, and Friend Bear. I also have a handful of the cousins and a couple of the new bears. I have always wanted one of the baby bears, but finding one nowadays with the diaper and in good shape can sometimes be hard. The Grandmother Bear is worth a lot more than the regular bears I've noticed. So if you have one, hold onto it! Generally you can find them on Ebay or even better (no shipping necessary) at estate sales and antique malls.

I loved Care Bears so much! That was one of my favorite tv shows as a kid, and I loved collecting Care Bear stuffed animals. Even as an adult I still buy them if I see them at a flea market or something. I especially love finding the old ones from the '80s. Here are the ones I have: (80s Care Bears): Friend Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Bedtime Bear, Gentle Heart Lamb, Brave Heart Lion; (90s environmental Care Bears): Cheer Bear, (Care Bears from 2000s): Funshine Bear, Goodluck Bear.

I search 80s toys. One of the 80s toys is care bears. Today, I saw care bears first. However it is very very beatiful

I have all of the original ones from the 80's. My first one was birthday bear, my brother gave him to me. Thats when birthday bear used to be yellow. The ones that they make now he is orange(YUCK)!!!

I had two care bears when I was little- Bedtime bear and Love-a-lot bear. I also had the tenderheart posable bear. I also loved the care bear cartoons. :)

I still have some of the poseable ones. And I think I actually used to have that necklace and ring in the picture!

I had and still have Birthday Bear. I've since bought Good Luck Bear and Funshine Bear on eBay for my little boy, who tucks them both under his arms to fall asleep! I hate to say, but when they resurfaced this past decade, I was not pleased with their updated, bright features (of both the dolls and illustrations); even worse is what they've done to them in the past few years! They look like little aliens! My favorite part, anyhow, was the beautiful embroidered tummy patch -- it actually looks like time was put into it and true, untainted-by-computer-animation artistic ability was actually used! Sigh!

I'm 11 now and still have Care Bears. I gave osme of mine to my sister and still kept some for myself. I remember when I was little I used to collect Care Bears!

While the new Care Bears found in places like Wal Mart are radically different from the originals, the ones sold at Carlton Cards are much closer. They are the same basic shape with white paws, a curl of realistic hair on the head and embroidered symbols. I have both Loyal Heart Dog and True Heart Bear from this group. Sadly, I don't think Carlton sells Care Bears anymore.

I don't own any real vintage Care Bears, although I did see a Tenderheart for sale once. He was out of my price range, though. I own some of the newer Care Bears-Heartsong, Best Friend, Hopeful Heart, Do-Your-Best, and Laugh-A-Lot, as well as Funshine, Wish, Cheer, and my favorites Harmony and Tenderheart. I have a couple of cousins, too. I can't stand the all-new Care Bears with the redesigned faces. They look like aliens. Give me my care-worn Harmony Bear any day.

i loved care bears as a child. i had the duvet cover, wallpaper and big blue bear that used to sit on my pillow

Grumpy Bear is my hero! I remember loving the Care Bears cartoons as a kid. I remember being so excited when I saw an ad for the upcoming Care Bears Movie in a magazine at the bookstore. I didn't get to go to the theatre to see it, but when it premiered on TV, I was right there. But the channel went out and I was pissed because I thought I was going to miss the Care Bears. Fortunately the channel came back on just in time. I never had a plush Care Bear as a kid, but I borrowed a friend's Love A Lot Bear for awhile, and got to play with yet another friend's wish bear for a day. I loved that bear. I did have a few of the poseables, but it wasn't the same as having the plush. When the Care Bears were rereleased I bought a ton of them. I wish I still had them but I stupidly gave them away.

i see no one posting about secret care bear that you pulled the string and it would say "your my secret friend", "want to tell me a secret", or "you can tell me anything". I would say that vintage care bear are much better than the new ones. I still search when ever I have the money to. Thrift stores are still cheaper than ebay just rare finds.

I have been looking 4 the pink care bear fleece throw. i have no idea where to look or if anyone is looking to get rid of one if u can help me out it would be appreciated.

I am trying to find a Care Bears board game that I used to have in the early to mid 80's--it is NOT the Warm Feelings game or the Calling all Care Bears game...all I remember about the game is haveing many many small cardboard star pieces... can anyone refresh my memory? Thanks!

I adored Care Bears! I had all the figurines, including the Cloudkeeper, some poseables (Grams and Tenderheart Bear), keyrings, a Care Bears video, fridge magnets, books, a coin purse, a soapdish that came with a Funshine Bear sponge, a few plushes - Bedtime Bear, Friend Bear and Love a Lot Bear. I even had a figurine of the bad guy - was he called Professor Coldheart? But I buried him in the backyard! Birthday Bear was always my favourite. The new Care Bears just aren't the same.

I have been collecting Care Bears off and on since 1999. I had one as a child(I'm 36 now)and was elated to find them on ebay. It is tedious constantly watching for them but worth it. The new ones do not hold a candle to the original vintage ones!! THE 80'S RULE!!! BTW..the post above me is HILARIOUS!!!! SOOOOO funny burrying Professor Cold Heart in the back yard!! My sides are hurting from laughing! So glad I found this site!

I have a T-shirt of Good Luck Bear. I wear it on St. Patrick's Day.

i bought about 5 80's care bears recently from 80stoyshop.com they have a shop in cardiff which wan't too far from me, they have a wide selection of new and old bears and the prices are reasonable.

I still have my Bedtime Bear form when I was young. I have him on the top of a bookcase sitting next to my little hard plastic Grumpy Bear. I still love them!

My sister still has her champ care bear. It is the same age as her 27 years :)

i had a couple of these as a kid. i remember having one that had a string in the back that you pulled and it must have talked. i think it was funshine bear or something like that. i had to give that one to a sick friend.

just found a vintage Share Bear on ebay for 5 dollars SCORE! only problem is her fur is faded to almost white, practically perfect condition otherwise (considering getting some spray on fabric dye) sleep with her and my Love-A-Lot Bear pajamas every night, yeah I'm a 33 year old who never grew up

I had the ENTIRE Care Bears collection (except for Birthday Bear I think) but my favorite was Bedtime Bear. I took him everywhere I went(even in Walmart!). I wanted to bring him in the bed with me when I slept but my parents said no because they thought it would get the bed dirty. I unfortunatly don't have it anymore or my other Care Bears but I still watch the Care Bears with my little sister (who's practically an 80s child stuck in the modern days of crap). She only has one Care Bear and its the bear with the music note on her chest and its buried somewhere in her toychest. She named it Kyoko since Kyoko is the Japanese word for music. I love my sister and sometimes I feel sorry for her that she wasn't born in the 80s. She's 12 and people call her weird since she's 12 and not into the Hannah Montana stupid crap or boys and much prefers to play Barbies and Victorian Teddy Bear Tea Party with her sister and wear some of my old American Girl historical clothes (anyone remember Samantha?). But she doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks and just carries on with her life.

I have all the original carebears except share bear. All are in Good condition. I am actually looking to sell them. Does anyone know a good place to look up prices for my bears?

i have lots of carebears and the original birthday bear that is yellow

I had the pink one with the hearts on it. I also remember I had a care bear playground ball. It was yellow so I think it had sunshine bear on it. We used to play with that thing in the back yard all the time. Wasn't there a care bear show or movie? I remember seeing one and there was a creepy, mean old man in the movie (a cartoon) who used to scare me all the time!

hey if anyone has any original care bears they want to sell please email me! star1emma@hotmail.com

sorry my email above is wrong! duh! i mean star1emma@hotmail.co.uk !

Someone gave my daughter the care bear collectables cheer bear with the silver nose and crystal nose. It's brand new in the box. It's selling for $89.00 on Amazon and $99.00 on ebay. If anyone is interested, make a reasonable offer. Email me at bwinter1 at prodigy dot net

I have collected tons of 80's care bears items over the past five years. I even have one of the original cartoon cells from the first movie to see a picture of it as well as a whole bunch of my other eighties items at my blog. retrocloset.blogspot.com

Ok-- I had a cloud-mobile toy and I had some type of "car wash" for it. You put water in it and when you pushed the button, water would shower down on it.. did anyone have this? I am trying to find a picture of it to show my kids! holdentwins2@aol.com

I have love-a-lot. I still have the bear but no boyfriend. I thought that was her job. her curl sticks straite up like almost all my dolls.

I found a big Funshine bear in almost mint condition at a little thrift store in Prescott (AZ). I paid $1 for him. He's from 1983.

I have been collecting those things for a while now. For me, it doesn't matter what generation they are I still love 'em.

have a collection of original kenner bears to sell mbdesignsinc@aol.com

i have a four foot tenderheart bear my mom got me when i was two, im now 26 and he is still my fave toy

I had Bedtime bear for my birthday when I was 9.

I had the Funshine Bear in this toy. Have it around here somewhere! Love it!

I found a Funshine Bear in a little out-of-the-way thrift store in Prescott (Arizona). He's in mint condition, tush tag says 1983, and I paid only $1.00 for him.

If you want to buy a carebear and an original, try sifting through the pages on eBay.co.uk you can find the poseables and plush bears on there. As well as other vintage related carebear items. They're not expensive either. I have a question I really need help with. Me and my sister had a hard bear about carebear size poseable and it had a picture of a piece of fruit on its belly. Does anyone know what these were?

I AM 32 I GOT MY GOOD LUCK CARE BARE WHEN I WAS 3 AND I STILL HAVE HIM HE IS LIKE 30 YEARS OLD AND HE STILL IS IN GOOD SHAPE HE LAYS WITH ME STILL TO GIVE ME GOOD LUCK

Are you interested in buying coin operated horses or spring rocking horses??? They are sold on Ebay. Most spring horses are made by Blazon, Wonder, Flexible Flyer, and Radio Flyer. Feel free to buy as many as you like. Good luck!!! :) Ebay account required.

I had all 4 care bears and I use 2 watch the show too.

I only had one of the stuffed bears (birthday bear), but we had all the plastic poseable ones. I still have them. I think a few are in my son's room and the rest in the garage. We had so much fun playing with those!!
