New or secondhand?
| Where you buy | Listings priced | Cheapest | Median | Dearest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New at US retailers | 48 | $6.00 | $19.99 | $29.99 |
| Peer-to-peer resale | 11 | $10.00 | $15.00 | $58.00 |
New and secondhand sit remarkably close here — $19.99 against $15.00 at the median. That is unusual, and it means something specific: buying secondhand saves you nothing, so buy secondhand only when you want a bear the current line does not make.
Which bear do you actually want?
Care Bears are identified by the belly badge, not by fur colour, and every listing worth buying names one. Cheer Bear carries a rainbow, Grumpy Bear a rain cloud, Tenderheart Bear a heart, Share Bear two lollipops, Funshine Bear a smiling sun, Bedtime Bear a crescent moon and star. If a listing describes a bear only by colour, the seller does not know what they have — which is occasionally an opportunity and more often a warning that the badge is worn off.
What we would buy: a current 6.5-inch character plush at around $19.99 for a child, and nothing else new. If you are buying for yourself, the current plush is smaller and thinner-piled than the bears you remember, and no amount of correct badge art fixes that. Spend the same money on a secondhand one with a legible badge.

How much does a Care Bear plush cost?
New plush at US retailers had a median of $19.99 on 1 September 2026; secondhand asks a median of $15.00. The two markets are close enough that price alone should not decide it.
How do I tell Care Bears apart?
