Talk:Kenner Products

message: Kenner was also famous for the Care Bear line of toys, books and plush bears and bear cousins.  The original bears and their cousins, from the early 1980s, were machine washable and driable if slipped into a pillow case first.  They all had a red hard plastic heart on their tushes that read, "Care Bears" or "Care Bear Cousin".  They were between 12 and 13 inches tall and had embroidery on their bellies to identify which one they were.  
These are just a few:  Love-A-Lot Bear, Good Luck Bear, Cheer Bear, Funshine Bear, Care-A-Lot Bear, Birthday Bear, Grumpy Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Friend Bear, Make-A-Wish Bear, Bedtime Bear, Secret Bear, Share-A-Lot Bear, Grama Bear and Champ Bear. Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs were smaller, 6", versions.  The cousins were other animals such as Brite Heart Racoon, Proud Heart Cat, LOTS-A-HEART ELEPHANT, GENTLE-HEART LAMB, SWIFT-HEART RABBIT, and COZY-HEART PENGUIN.  This list is not complete.
The Care Bears was a television show that taught social ettiquite.  The Care Bear name was copywrited by American Greetings.
Care Bears were reissued in the 1990s but not by Kenner.
Removed Beast Machines. This line was produced in 2000, released in December during the post-Xmas reset.  Transformers packaging switched over to "Hasbro" from "Kenner" as Beast Wars winded down with TransMetals II in 1999.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.161.231 (talk) 07:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Should it be noted in the article that Kenner also made the Special Blessings dolls in the mid 1980s?  These dolls are an example of a commercial product intended to provide religious guidance to children.  I lack a "reference" for that information, but did find this non-credible site that describes them.  This site about Special Blessings Dolls is accurate from my memory of having owned one.

message: This company was frequently referenced on the Toy Hunter show, and the guy himself went to by some toys off some Kenner employees. I remeber that...

message: I've seen some photographs of Dawn of the Dead (1978) action figures with the Kenner logo on them.  I've seen others that do not have said logo and appear to be modern creations that mimic the vintage style.  If the former did exist, however, it might be worth a mention.  Alas, I don't know enough about the company or their products to do so.  So, I figured I'd toss it out there.  Thanks.--Surv1v4l1st (Talk|Contribs)  03:03, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Am rather surprised at the lack of info on this diecast series.
To me, the vehicles were different enough from Matchbox and Hot Wheels to merit their own page if not a section here. 2600:8800:204:C400:14FB:E14C:E9EE:7BDE (talk) 14:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
