Is Care Bears
still made?
Confirmed through Basic Fun!’s current Care Bears range, including classic characters and newly introduced bears.
The short history
Care Bears moved from greeting-card characters to plush toys and television in the early 1980s. Each bear’s color, personality and belly badge made choosing a favorite feel strangely consequential.
What survived
Color-coded plush bears with expressive faces and character-specific belly badges remain the defining form.
What changed
Current sizes, fabrics, collaborations and character roster extend well beyond the original 1980s lineup.
Current versions
Basic Fun! offers familiar characters in several plush sizes plus new bears, miniatures, sustainable fabrics and licensed collaborations.
