Get Ready to Care-A-Lot!

The clouds over Care-A-Lot are drifting toward Aurora - and they're bringing some very familiar faces with them! We're thrilled to announce that the Care Bears are officially joining Aurora's licensed plush family.

This is a meeting of two brands beloved for their lovable characters, their collectability, and their beautifully soft plush. And because it's Aurora, we're not stopping at just one style. Fans will get to experience their favorite Bears in three distinct formats: traditional Care Bears plush, tiny Palm Pals, and adorably chunky Spudsters.

Whether you grew up with these cuddly friends or you're meeting them for the very first time, there's about to be a whole new way to bring the caring home. Let's take a peek at what's coming!

Who Are the Care Bears?

The Care Bears are a beloved character brand built around kindness, friendship, sharing, individuality, and the joy of expressing how you feel. They live in Care-A-Lot, a cheerful cloud-filled home where each Bear uses their unique personality and special abilities to spread caring wherever they go.

Every Care Bear wears an iconic belly badge - a colorful symbol that shows off their personality, special qualities, or outlook on life. That's part of what makes them so instantly recognizable.

The best part? Care Bears speak to everyone. Adults who grew up with them feel a warm wave of nostalgia, while kids and younger collectors adore how colorful, expressive, and relatable they still are today. That character-driven charm fits perfectly with Aurora's love of collectible, personality-packed plush.

Meet Some of the Care Bears

Care Bears are so much more than a rainbow of colorful bears - each one has their own look, personality, and message. Here are a few friends you might recognize:

• • Cheer Bear: The optimistic pink Bear who brings positivity wherever she goes.
  • Grumpy Bear: Proof that you don't have to be cheerful all the time to care! His grumpy attitude and rain cloud belly badge make him one of the most recognizable Bears of all.
  • Funshine Bear: Energetic, playful, and always ready to brighten someone's day.
  • Share Bear: A caring friend who reminds us that good things are even better when they're shared.
  • Good Luck Bear: The green Bear who brings a little extra luck wherever he goes.
  • Tenderheart Bear:  Sweet, thoughtful, and full of heart, Tenderheart is all about showing kindness and reminding everyone how powerful caring can be.

With so many personalities to choose from, everyone can find a Bear they truly connect with!

Care Bears, the Aurora Way

Here's where things get exciting. Aurora isn't bringing Care Bears into just one plush collection - fans will be able to discover them across multiple Aurora styles, each offering a different way to collect. Let's meet all three!

Care-A-Lot Fits in the Palm of Your Hand: Care Bears Palm Pals

First up, the Care Bears are joining the ever-popular Palm Pals collection! If you love Palm Pals, you already know the drill: these little cuties are palm-sized, bean-filled, and understuffed for that relaxed, squishy shape that sits perfectly in your hand.

Care Bears and Palm Pals are a natural match. Both are all about character and personality, so you can pick the Bear that best represents you. Their signature colors and belly badges keep each Bear instantly recognizable, while giving them that unmistakable Palm Pals look. And thanks to their smaller scale, building a whole collection is wonderfully easy!

The Care Bears Just Got a Little More Potato-Shaped: Spudsters

Now for something extra playful. The Care Bears Spudsters are one of the most fun interpretations in the entire collection!

Never met a Spudster before? Picture your favorite characters reimagined with rounded, potato-shaped bodies and soft, squishy construction. That adorably chunky silhouette gives each Bear a whole new charm - and the Care Bears' bright colors and belly badges translate beautifully into the Spudsters shape. It's the perfect combination of nostalgic characters and Aurora's distinctive plush design.

The Bears You Know and Love: Classic Care Bears Plush

Of course, we couldn't forget the iconic Bears themselves! Alongside our unique Aurora formats, the collection includes traditional plush interpretations of your favorite Care Bears.

These classic plush feature signature character colors, recognizable expressions, iconic belly badges, and that irresistibly soft Aurora plush construction. They offer the most classic Care Bears experience - perfect for longtime fans, kids discovering the characters for the first time, and collectors who want those recognizable Care Bears designs on their shelves.

A Collection Made for Every Kind of Care Bears Fan

Three styles, one wonderful world of caring. Here's how they come together:

• • Palm Pals: Tiny, personality-filled collectibles that fit in the palm of your hand.
  • Spudsters: Squishy, rounded Care Bears with a playful Aurora twist.
  • Classic Plush: The iconic Care Bears fans know and love.

Because every Care Bear already represents a distinct personality or emotion, this collection naturally invites you to find your Bear, collect your favorites, and build your very own little Care-A-Lot.
