Funko has announced a new wave of Funko Pop! vinyl figures to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Care Bears franchise.
New Care Bears figures to celebrate the 40th anniversary.
Care Bears are multi-colored bears, originally painted in 1981 by artist Elena Kucharik to be used on greeting cards from American Greetings. In 1983, the characters were turned into plush teddy bears and the Care Bears franchise was born.
The characters headlined their own television series called Care Bears from 1985 to 1988. The Care Bears also appeared in three feature films: The Care Bears Movie (1985), Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986) and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987).
Each Care Bear is a different colour or shade and has a unique “picture on the stomach” that represents its personality.
The Care Bear characters have been transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl figures and are part of the Pop! Animation series. The newly announced wave features new Funko Pop! vinyl figures of five different Care Bears, all with flocked, glow in the dark or glitter chase variants.
