Product Information

These things increase the worth of dolls. Some of the ones that have sold for high amounts have their adoption papers complete and most come in their boxes. If your doll has adoption papers, then you should post pictures of the papers along with the dolls. Collectors will buy the doll higher. The Condition Created by artist Xavier Roberts, who used quilting skills learned from his mother as well as the more historic needle modeling technique, the first Cabbage Patch Kids were simply known as The Little People. Roberts originally sold his Little People dolls at art shows. Instead of handing over a set amount of cash, interested buyers only needed to pay an adoption fee for one of his carefully made dolls. As Roberts received positive reception for his handmade dolls, he moved his operations into a former clinic, dubbing the renewed facility as Babyland General Hospital, where even today curious travelers can watch Cabbage Patch Kids be taken care of by sale employees roleplaying as nurses and medical staff. One appealing point about the dolls was that they weren’t bought, but rather, adopted, and the adopter would have to take a vow to care and love their doll. It wasn’t until 1982 when Roberts reached a licensing deal with toy production company Coleco that the Little People dolls were rebranded as the dolls we know today: Cabbage Patch Kids. The doll is made of plastic materials that provide a distinctive design that kids enjoy for its head. In this way, they can play more creatively. 5. Vintage Retro Style They thus have excellent chances of developing their creative thinking skills. Also, they love the vintage look of this doll.

Originally, Cabbage Patch dolls reached the peak of their popularity in the 1980s since that was the time when most kids wanted one. In 2014, Cabbage Patch dolls were re-released, and they proved to be quite popular – which shows that kids still love them. Cabbage Patch Dolls were produced in their millions. There were two categories that were produced; the ones that were specialty or handmade. These ones are more valuable because there weren’t many of them.

The Cabbage Patch Popcorn Girl is a rare Christmas doll for all theme-based collectors. It has yellow hair, hats, and flowery dresses to uplift the festive spirit. This is a special doll made by the Jesmar Toy Company. The toy became popular overseas, and the company needed a supplier, so Jesmar Toy Company stepped up to help make the demand for Spain, Italy and West Germany in the 1980s. The Jesmar doll was one of their signature dolls during the highlight of the cabbage patch kid crazy. Stephanie Vivian- Little People Doll Genuine cabbage dolls have soft bodies and vinyl heads. The ones Robert Xavier first created on the other hand had soft heads and bodies. In 1989 Mattel introduced dolls with all vinyl bodies and 2 inches smaller than the original dolls. Craftsmanship Every authentic Cabbage Patch Kids comes with a Xavier Roberts signature, typically on the doll’s left butt cheek. In very rare instances, the signature may be on the right butt cheek or upside down. In addition to this signature, there is also a year printed—if there is no year, the color of the signature indicates the year. The history of cabbage patch dolls began with a 21 year old Robert Xavier, an art student at a missionary school in North Georgia. He discovered the dolls made by a woman named Martha Nelson and wanted to sell them but the woman rejected the idea of selling dolls she fondly called Doll Babies.

But by the end of the first decade of their existence 65 million kids have been sold around the world. The place where they are supposedly born, Babyland General Hospital still exists. It was originally located in Cleveland. In 2010 the hospital moved to the North Georgia mountains. It now sits on 650 acres of land. In some limited edition makes of the Cabbage Patch Doll, porcelain or an all-vinyl body can be noted. By 1982, Roger L. Schlaifer had acquired the unique worldwide licensing rights to the brand and renamed it ‘Cabbage Patch Kids.’ These cabbage patch dolls broke toy industry sales records three years in a row.Cabbage Patch Dolls were alleged to be unique. Each one looked different due to the different shapes of their heads, eyes, hairstyles, and clothing. Robert would tell people the dolls weren’t for sale but that they could be adopted at a price ranging from sixty to as much as a thousand dollars. Robert sold the dolls at arts and crafts shows before opening a clinic that he called BabyLand General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia where the employees dressed up like doctors and nurses and took care of the dolls in cribs as if they were real babies. They now mass produce cabbage patch kids, soft faced and hand stitched like the old times. Employees in the Hospital still dress in scrubs like doctors and nurses, and the kids are still laid up in incubators and cribs, like real babies.

Coming in many different designs, the 25th-anniversary Cabbage Patch Kids all came in a green outlined box that states 25th anniversary. Each of these dolls came with a silver spoon. Unlike some of the other big brand toys produced during the 80s and the 90s, Cabbage Patch Kids were often well marked with their year of manufacture. Consequently, your child will be able to play with more imagination, which improves their imaginative thinking abilities. The adoption certificate and birth certificate that come with it is also appreciated. 8. 1985 CPK Doll Cabbage Patch Anniversary Dolls 10th Anniversary Cabbage Patch Kid (Zora Mae) Collectible Doll’s Auction Price
