As the final season of Stranger Things draws to a close, Basic Fun! teams up with Netflix to create a horrifyingly huggable line of Care Bears inspired by the heroes from Hawkins.
“Stranger Things captures the essence of what it meant to be a kid in the 1980s — and what better way to show up in that world than with an icon of that decade, Care Bears,” said Robert Prinzo, Head of Global Licensing at Cloudco Entertainment.
The line includes two limited-edition, full-size Care Bears as well as pint-sized plushies, each blending the classic characters with pals from the Party. The collectibles are full of dimensional details, from outfits inspired by iconic Season 1 looks to their upside-down belly badges. The entire collection is available at Walmart.

For supernatural snuggles, fans can collect a 12-inch Cheer Bear dressed as Eleven — complete with a jean jacket, short tufts of hair, an Eggo waffle paw patch, and Eleven’s signature nosebleed — or grab Grumpy Bear, wearing a soft hoodie featuring the Demogorgon’s flower-like face. Rounding out the party are five 9-inch plush: Funshine Bear as Dustin, Cheer Bear as Eleven, Bedtime Bear as Mike, Tenderheart Bear as Lucas, and Good Luck Bear as Will.
“We’re always excited by new creative expressions of the iconic Care Bears and love pushing the envelope on how they can show up in the world,” said Lisa Doiron, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Basic Fun! “This collection merges Stranger Things and Care Bears, with thoughtful, playful details fans will love.”
The Stranger Things x Care Bears collection is now available, exclusively at Walmart. To browse the entire line, visit walmart.com.
