Care Bear Poseables of the 1980's

WHAT IS A POSEABLE? A figure that is able to "pose" because it's limbs are moveable. This is the title given on the packaging for these types of figures. It was a popular term in the 1980's, and is no longer used on toy packaging.

Poseables are one of the most popular of the Care Bear products, as well as my personal favorite toy line of all time. They were sold in many different kinds of packaging and changed throughout the years. Learn about each one by clicking the links below.
