Cabbage Patch Kids were recently recognized as one of the hot dozen toys for the upcoming 2004 holiday shopping season. Play Along relaunched the yarn-haired, dimpled-cheeked dolls this year with the promise that the plush toy is exactly the same as the earlier mass-produced versions, which became a national phenomenon in the 1980s.

If you grew up in the 80’s or the 90’s or even the early 2000’s, chances are you or your sibling loved and cherished a Cabbage Patch Kid. You wouldn’t have been the only kid in your street to be loving your doll though, as these dolls similar to Barbie’s became a global sensation with many keen collectors still holding onto their original dolls 40 years later.

What is a Cabbage Patch Kid?

For those of you who did not grow up in the time of Cabbage Patch Kids, you may have not even heard of them prior to stumbling upon this article. While dolls such as Barbies are recognized globally, what saw the Cabbage Patch Kid stand out against other dolls was their cuddly nature. While the Baby Alive Doll produced around the same time had many interactive features, the simplicity of the Cabbage Patch Kids (CPK) was what little girls during this period were seeking.

The Cabbage Patch Kid is by no means the most valuable collector’s doll to date, although it was their cuddly and soft nature that set them apart from other big brand dolls during their initial production. The original dolls had woolen hair, plush bodies, and somewhat chubby fingers. Xavier Robert’s who was the designer and craftsman of these dolls stitched them in a similar way to how his mother would make quilts.

While the Cabbage Patch Kid may sound like ‘just another doll’, what added to their popularity was the fact that each doll came with their own adoption papers, the dolls were soft, meaning they could be taken to bed just like a fluffy animal and they were somewhat ugly but in a cute way. The legend (story) behind how the dolls had came to be also made it feel as though the adoption process was real for many little girls who had been gifted a Cabbage Patch Kid. In the earlier years of production, the company also stated that no two dolls were identical. This meant every child in the street had their own unique doll.

While the dolls have been around for many decades, they still sport the same look. Cabbage Patch Dolls can be distinguished by their:

The History of the Cabbage Patch Doll

The very first Cabbage Patch Dolls were released in 1983. The official Cabbage Patch Dolls came many years after Xavier Robert’s original designs which he handcrafted and titled ‘Little People Originals’. While Xavier’s first creations were popular, the introduction of ‘Cabbage Patch Dolls’ saw 3 million of the dolls being adopted by the end of their first year of production. During late 1983, the doll even makes the front cover of Newsweek due to their popularity amongst young girls and boys alike. While there have been thousands upon thousands of different Cabbage Patch Kids produced over the past 40 odd years, the dolls that represent a person or special event such as the US Olympic Team Mascot Dolls remain among the most valuable. Each of the dolls tells it’s own story and even comes with a birth certificate.

By 1999, 95 million Cabbage Patch Dolls had been sold around the globe.The amount of these dolls that exist globally significantly reduces their overall collectible value.

While the Coleco company produced the dolls between their primitive years, 1982 until 1988, the craze of the Cabbage Patch began to decline and in 1994, many years after Coleco filed for bankruptcy, Mattel began producing Cabbage Patch Kids. Mattel mimicked the original dolls in their re-release of Cabbage Patch Kids. Many mothers and fathers who had fond memories of these dolls during their childhood purchased one for their own children.

The First Cabbage Patch Doll

Cabbage Patch creator Xavier Roberts copyrighted his design in 1976 and sold the rights to company Giant Coleco in 1982. Dolls that were made prior to the Coleco handover are worth the most.
