Cabbage Patch Appraisal

Cabbage Patch Kids Doll

This is a vintage Cabbage Patch Kids doll, identifiable by its distinctive plastic head and soft fabric body and limbs. The doll features bright orange, acrylic yarn hair, styled in a shaggy, full manner around its face. Its head is made of a flesh-toned plastic or vinyl, with molded facial features including a small, open mouth, recessed nose, and chubby cheeks. The eyes are round, blue, and painted, giving the doll a wide-eyed expression. There are also faint pink blush marks on the cheeks and small, dark dots visible that simulate freckles, particularly on the left cheek. The body and limbs are made from a soft, light tan fabric, stitched to create rotund, baby-like arms and legs, with visible stitching lines on the feet. The hands are molded into a fist-like shape with visible finger details. The doll is dressed in a green and white gingham-patterned dress with a white bodice. The dress has a ruffled white lace trim along the neckline and a green patterned lace trim accenting the seam where the bodice meets the skirt. A small, pink floral emblem or patch is visible on the upper right side of the bodice. The doll appears to be in good overall condition for its age, with no significant tears or major staining visible on the fabric body or clothing. The plastic head shows minimal wear, though there might be some slight surface grime or subtle scuffs consistent with play use. The yarn hair appears to be largely intact, though some strands may be slightly frizzy or disheveled. This doll exemplifies the popular toy trend of the 1980s, belonging to an estimated age between the early 1980s and early 1990s. The quality of craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced dolls of this era, characterized by durable materials designed for children's play.
