"Facts of Life" Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins

['80sSitcoms]

What a marriage in 1980s heaven---Kenner and American Greetings meet NBC in a line of plush Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins mixed with your favorite "Facts of Life" characters! (all for fun of course, these are not real, haha)

I've doctored up some prototypes of what could have maybe been some sensational crazes flying off of toy store shelves in the 1980s.

Feel free to try your hand at your own creations!

A care bears FOL crossover! What a rad '80s topic!

I had no idea there was a care bear... rabbit.

And I'm laughing very hard at the modified quotes!

You didn't?? Are you unfamiliar with the Care Bear Cousins, or did you just not know that one of their cousins was a rabbit? (the Care Bear Cousins live in the Forest of Feelings, which the Care Bears discover in "The Care Bears Movie")

Those were fun---if we manufacture these for the public, I'd love to put those quotes in word balloons on the boxes!

Here are the 10 original Care Bear Cousins, from 1985:

Move over Love-a-Lot Bear, and make room for:

Love-Myself-a-Lot Blair

("I'm Bear Warner, and you're not!")

Like, totally!

My younger cousin watched the movie, so I remember a song about the Forest of Feelings, which she sang constantly, but I don't think I ever saw the movie myself.

Haha, yeah, there are a few songs in that. It's a good '80s kid's movie, you should watch it!

I'm just very surprised though, as prevalent as the Care Bears family was, that you totally missed that they had cousins?? They were in the cartoon, on toy store shelves---oh Retro, I'm sorry you missed! But you can get to know them now!
