ATTACHABLES - Attachables were made in the 1980's and were sold individually. They were meant to hang off a zipper, key chain, bag, etc. Most children of the 80's wore these on their coat zippers (I know I did). Several differant types were made. The rarest attachables include Swift Heart Rabbit, and the five Christmas attachables. I Generally take off the clip on mine because that is the way I like them, and that is what I did to mine as a child. Clip-ripping hurts their value, so I do not reccomend it. Collection Incomplete, I am looking for one last attachable, and that is Brave Heart holding a present.

CANDY LAND KIDS - These few pieces are from Candy Land Kids playsets that were produced in 1984 by Playskool. They have nothing whatsoever to do with the Care Bears, but are very often mistaken for Care Bear items because of the way they look. They are about the right size for poseables. I collected these two pieces because they look like they belong right in Care-A-Lot! Other pieces in the Candy Land Kids collection do not look similar to Care Bear items, only these two pieces fit the look! Collection Complete.

CHARMS - These charms, made in 2003-04 are from a few separate places. Some are from charms sold in four-packs that hung off of large chains.

I have detatched all of their hardware, turning them into stand alone figures. Collection Complete.
