Obviously you can never have too much of a good thing when it comes to nostalgic TV shows from your childhood, which is why the sickly sweet My Little Pony Care Bears figurines are so amazing.
SammyTVR, a deviantART artist, decided to combine the various characters from the My Little Pony series with the Care Bears and came up with a whole new collection of adorable, pastel characters.
With names such as Birthday Bear which features a Care Bear blowing out a cupcake candle on the back of a yellow pony, Cheer Bear which is pink and covered in rainbows and Bedtime Bear with a Care Bear snoozing on its back, the My Little Pony Care Bears figurines are a perfect mix of both cartoon worlds.
