Recently new designs of the beloved Carebears have been released. There are small plushies and larger plushies to collect. I personally picked these up for my son and for myself.

The new look and design hold true to the original with a slight modernization to them. Currently, many of the bears can be found at Target in the toy section. Be sure to stop by and pick one up or pick up the collection of bears from Walmart.
