Care Bears fans can now find exclusive apparel and giftware at pop culture retailer, Forbidden Planet, following a new partnership with Cloudco Entertainment.
Launching in time for the Easter break, the collection has been designed for nostalgic adult fans and features a range of apparel and accessories including t-shirts, hoodies, sew-on patches, enamel keyrings and pin badges.
There is also a variety of giftware such as art prints, postcard packs, mugs, tea towels, magnets and travel pass holders.
A second range of Care bears merchandise is set to launch later in 2025, with more details to be announced soon.
The deal between Forbidden Planet and Cloudco was secured by Bulldog Licensing.
