The Care Bears Beanie Plush, also known as Care Bears Fun Size Plush, is one of the major product lines from Basic Fun!. Each plush is 9 inches in size.
These plushes have large toy tags attached to their right ear and an embossed Belly Badge.
Standard Beanie Plush[]
Series 1 (2020)[]

Retail display box.
The initial range of Beanie Plush were released in August 2020, consisting of the main six Bears as the standard size. Even though each Bear has an individual UPC, they may still be listed as an assortment meaning if you order them online you are not guaranteed to get the one you want.
The UK and Canadian versions have larger, multi-language tags, although these have since been replaced with smaller ones, and the current releases have Care Bears logo tags.
