The 10 Original Care Bears (names and pictures)

The original Care Bears were a group of characters created by the American Greetings card company in 1982. They were designed as cute, colorful bears that each had a different symbol on their tummy, called a "tummy symbol", that represented their personality or power. The Care Bears were featured on a wide range of merchandise, including stuffed animals, clothing, and a television series. They became popular in the 1980s and have remained a beloved children's brand to this day.

Here's the ten original Care Bears and their descriptions.

The highly renowned and widely acclaimed comic strip known as Peanuts, created by the esteemed Charles M. Schulz, and also referred to as the Charlie Brown comic strip, is a syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip that commenced on October 2, 1950, and eventually culminated on February 13, 2000, a mere solitary day after Schulz's death.

The comic strip's overarching themes encompass a vast spectrum of subjects, including but not limited to friendship, school, holidays, and family, and it is celebrated for its simplistic yet profound observations on life. Furthermore, this comic strip has been translated into an extensive array of more than 25 languages and has undergone numerous adaptations, including television specials, films, and stage productions, amongst others.

Traxxas TRX-4 : Marc's build planner

I'm trying to decide between the RTR version of this popular RC crawler and the new assembly kit. The kit comes without a few necessities, so I am trying to work out the best value when comparing the RTR, the kit with the same components as the RTR, and the kit with some popular components that are budget friendly upgrades from the RTR version. Required extras are transmitter & receiver, ESC, motor.
