I Love You Bear was a limited edition bear that was only made as a plush in the original 80's toyline.

They were a UK exclusive that was given out to childhood-based charity groups. There are multiple variants of this plush that were released.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

I Love You Bear has golden yellow fur and their Belly Badge depicts a red heart with the words "I Love You" inside it. In the original release of their plush, they had a completely white belly with the heart being a plastic clip on located around the upper right of their chest. The letters of this version where written in white.

Eventually, a different version was produced that gave them a standard Belly badge. This new edition had the letters written in yellow, as well as there being a yellow border around the heart. Another variant featured the red heart Belly Badge centered normally, but without the yellow border and with text in smallcaps. A few other variants exist, including belly badges without the text (the badge of Tenderheart Bear), some with the badge of Love-a-Lot Bear, and others colored differently with cursive text in the heart.

In the Unlock the Magic style, their belly badge was redesigned and the nose color changes. The red heart has no words in it, and it has a white smiley face. Two pink hearts without faces revolve around the red heart. Alongside this, the design lacks any eyelashes, possibly meaning that I Love You Bear is a male in this incarnation.

Trivia[]

  • I Love You Bear's Belly Badge is very similar to Tenderheart's and/or Love-a-Lot's symbols.
  • Due to the plushies essentially being hand-outs, they were made with less standards than the usual Care Bears plush toys for the first time.
  • Because of the rarity and scarcity of information in regards to this bear, they're often mistaken to be a fake.
  • These toys were made using Birthday Bear's plush as a base.
  • I Love You Bear's 80s plushes are considered Mavericks by collectors.
