Brown Hair Doll Appraisal

Vintage Cabbage Patch Kids Doll (Brown Hair/Brown Eyes)

This is a vintage Cabbage Patch Kids doll, likely dating from the mid-1980s mass production era by Coleco. The doll features the classic large, rounded vinyl head with a matte finish, paired with a soft, peach-colored fabric 'stuffed' body. It has dark brown hair made of looped yarn strands, which appear slightly matted and frayed due to age and handling. The doll's facial features include printed brown eyes with star-shaped highlights, a small button nose, and a wide, dimpled smile characteristic of the brand. The soft-sculpture body includes a prominent outie navel and detailed fingers and toes with white painted fingernails/toenails. The overall condition shows significant signs of play wear and aging; there is visible surface soiling and grayish discoloration on the fabric body, particularly around the limbs and torso. The vinyl head shows light scuffing and small dark marks, common with long-term storage and use. A white manufacturer's cloth tag is visible on the side of the torso, though the text appears faded. The doll is missing its original clothing and birth certificate documentation, which are key for a complete collector's set. Despite the wear, the structural integrity remains intact with no visible structural tears or missing limbs, though the yarn hair shows some thinning.
