If Care Bears won’t make it then I DID! MY VERY OWN BAD CROWD JACKET!

Kinda wanna make more. But I don’t know if anyone would buy them, to be honest. But it’s so cool that I own this now!

Hi today I'd like to talk about the reveal of the Loungefly merch for the Care Bears x Universal Monsters collab!! In summary, we got 6 new pieces in total--2 backpacks, one card holder, one wallet, one crossbody bag, and one bomber jacket!

I'll be adding pictures into the read more with more "analysis" and opinions :3

First off we have the Mummy Bedtime Bear backpack and card holder!! I love the design of both of these. The backpack's mummy wrappings glow in the dark, too! It looks like it'll be a soft backpack, which is nice, and I'm in love with the art for the cardholder--I feel like the colors they chose are very harmonious and pleasing to the eyes, though I don't have much use for the cardholder (it is still a very tempting purchase)

Next up we have the Sweet Dreams backpack and zip-around wallet!! I already mentioned how much I love the official art for this collab but I have to say it again because wow these are beautiful and stunning. The background stars on the backpack glow in the dark, which could be a fun effect! Personally, I don't think the green glow fits well with the rest of it, but it's definitely something I can overlook. Something fun about this one is the usage of Sweet Dreams Bear, who I rarely see added to merchandise, and especially Loungefly merch! At first I thought she was Share until I noticed she had a totally different belly-badge. There's so many fun details on this one, and I just. I am obsessed with these designs I love them all so much. I also love the usage of the actual star characters and how they gave them monster designs, too! Honestly, I'm hardcore debating getting these--or at least the wallet, because they're just so cute and it can be kind of hard to find merch in darker colors for these guys, and most of my wardrobe is incidentally pretty dark

Next we have the Bride of Frankenstein Cheer Bear crossbody bag! The design of this one is super pleasing to me, it kind of gives Sailor Moon vibes, and I just think it's awesome. Definitely one of my favorite pieces for the collab! It's hard for me to envision the actual sizings and how much would be able to fit in it, so I don't know how practical it would be, but it's very cute! The colors all-around work very well together and are also super nice to look at. I especially love the pattern on the inside of the bag--the art of Cheer and Grumpy hugging is so sweet! It could probably do without the lightning bolts they added, but I don't necessarily think they take away from it either. I don't really like the debossed details on the outside of the bag--I think it could've definitely been done without those--but it doesn't impact my overall opinion too negatively, and it's overall pretty fine--I do like the star details. I'm very tempted to get this one

And finally, we have the all-over print bomber jacket! I have some mixed feelings about this one. I absolutely adore the patterns on the outside and inside (the return of the stars!! and Care-A-Lot!!) but I'm not so sure how well this pattern works as a jacket. Like it's fine, and I like it, but the collars, cuffs, and pockets kind of clash and there's not really a color that wouldn't clash, plus it's a lot to look at in a way that I'm not sure works for this kind of clothing. A friend of mine suggested that it would look better as a Hawai'ian shirt, and I'm definitely inclined to agree. That or some other form of button-up. Maybe even leggings, or a skirt or dress, perhaps a headband--or even a tie would be super fun, if a bit unpopular. That isn't to say it's bad though! I still do think it's cute, and maybe seeing it in person would change my opinions on it--it looks pretty good on the models in the photos. I suppose time will tell!

On one hand, I'm a little sad that we didn't get TenderHeart, GoodLuck, and Grumpy as solo items like we did Cheer and Bedtime (for the Loungefly drops in specific because there's a bunch of other merch too that I haven't gotten a good look at yet), but I feel like solo Bedtime merch is really rare nowadays and I'm glad to see that we're not putting all the attention on Grumpy again because he's pretty much the most common one for pop culture merch (which has always kind of peeved me). I'm very excited to see GoodLuck appearing here, too! Their design is adorable, and so is TenderHeart's (I didn't have the chance to mention this earlier, but I love how they subtly altered all of the Belly Badges!!)

All in all, I think this is a very awesome collection, and I'm absolutely dying to get these (and my wallet is weeping because Loungefly is expensive)

Thinking about them

Right now Cheer, Grumpy, Good Luck, Harmony, and Laugh a Lot are in stores

Togetherness, Friend, Bedtime, Care a Lot, and Hopeful Heart all have prototypes. Safe to assume they’ll be the next line

Which ones do you wanna see made small?

This is important

Sometimes radical acts of self-love and asserting your adulthood mean that despite surviving a horrific year in your personal life, no one in your life bothered to buy you the Matrix Build-a-Bear you want need in your life and which will definitely go a ways toward healing your wounded spirit, so when it goes on clearance, you learn your lesson from all the times you tried to be """fiscally responsible""" and missed out on something you now can't have and you BUY YOURSELF THE DAMN BEAR because you DESERVE IT and because no one else cares and you're an ADULT so you take care of your GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL AND UNDEFEATABLE SELF YEAH dammit

I have too much kny drinkware for someone who only uses the same 3 cups in rotation...

Do I have 15 cups and 3 water bottles? Yes. Do I think they will ever have liquid inside them? Very doubtful.

My parents keep a pretty good collection of toys and books at their house for when the grandkids come over. Here are some of the plushies.

The sheep is actually a plush sound machine from Cloud B. In addition to being cuddly, it also makes nature sounds.

care bears !!

I found this neat little Dogmatix plush whilst thrifting, tagged as Quick 2014. I'm super nosy and love to look up the sets and advertising of fast food toys, so I was super surprised when I wasn't able to find a single photo of this guy?

It might be because I'm UK Google and Quick isn't really a thing here, but if you've seen this and have any info on it- I'd love to know!

[cheshirette]

its been tough for me lately but im at least glad i can just doodle care bear stuff in my spare time to keep me just a lil happy

[carebearscomfort]

My package came in today!!! Mini haul!

Out of all the figures I could’ve gotten I am SO happy that it’s Grumpy, he’s my fav bear 💙💙

[that-care-bear-family]

Hey look what I found today!

If you guys are looking for some Care Bear room decor… you won’t believe it but Kohls online has Care Bear rugs for sale! And they come in different sizes and are adorable! I know this is totally random but I’m just really happy Care Bear stuff is in “mainstream” stores, or at least there is a ton of merch online.

Here’s an example:

I really want to get a rug or 2, 1 for right in front of my door and another for in front of my bookcases/“wall of happy”.

Quite an interesting find in my opinion. Its fun looking for merch while we wait for more Bear plush to be released.
