Cabbage patch kid cake

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. For example, during a true Cabbage Patch Kid or Little People will have a black signature, green was used in , blue was used in , red was used in , aqua was used in , lavender was used in and rose was used in If you have one of the earlier produced dolls, or you are looking to purchase one as a vintage collectible, ensure that the signature color matches up with the proposed manufacture date.

When the Coleco company sold the Cabbage Patch Dolls, the boxes were often marked with the year of manufacture. While the style of the boxes changed over the years, the date was often front and foremost. The Coleco boxes do not sport a banner while those produced in the years following do.

The original Cabbage Patch Kids stood between 16 and 18 inches tall while the Preemies measured between 14 and 15 inches. During , Coleco produced special edition kids such as twins, world travelers, and western kids and later in specialty kids such as the astronauts and all-stars were released.

Following this, in , Coleco released a Cabbage Patch Kid designed to be able to be bathed and another kid that could talk. While many of the Cabbage Patch Dolls can see their owner making back their money or making a small amount of money, those handcrafted by Xavier himself prior to see the biggest return. The condition of the doll, the rarity, the skin and hair color, whether or not the original accessories are included as well as the birth certificate and box all determine how much someone may be willing to pay come auction.

For most of the Cabbage Patch Kids, no two are the exact same. Whether they have different eye colors or hair colors, it was their uniqueness along with their adaptability that made the world fall in love with them time and time again. While in more recent years, you can find identical Cabbage Patch Dolls, in their earlier years, especially when they were handcrafted by Xavier himself, the dolls were each their own little people. This means that each doll does not have a set collectible value and the price of each really depends on supply and demand.

There are a number of things that can make one doll more valuable than another and we mention those in the section above.

She came with me when I was six to get my tonsils out. The dolls became a popular toy because of the unique adoption process which made it personal and special. Each doll came with their own unique name and birth certificate.

Names could be officially changed but it was a process and this added to their charm. With a soft body to cuddle, sweet clothes to accessorise, adorable facial features and the iconic signature on the butt, the Cabbage Patch Kid dolls hit the spot for retro kids. See the signature of Xavier Robert on the bottom?

I was reading on My CP Collection about identifying the date from the signature, and it looks like this one was from Any feedback?

Just leave it in the comments. The only thing I was curious about is the signature does not seem to be the traditional one from Xavier Robert like the doll pictured above. However, it does seem to be one of the earlier signatures used by Xavier. When we asked the BAFM community what your cabbage patch doll was called, we were blown away with the names. Some of them are hilarious. Although this doll does not come with any of the original adoption papers or birth certificate, she is in great condition with no pulls or tares in her clothing or body.
