Coleco Cabbage Patch Appraisal

Cabbage Patch Kids Doll

This item is a vintage Cabbage Patch Kids doll, characterized by its soft body, sculpted vinyl head, and distinctive facial features. The doll has a rotund face with brown painted eyes, a small upturned nose, and a simple smile. Its hair is made of brown yarn, styled in short, curly tufts around the head. The limbs, including the arms and legs, appear to be soft-stuffed fabric, consistent with the typical construction of these dolls. The doll wears a white long-sleeved shirt with pink and white lace trim on the cuffs, and a pair of blue corduroy-like overalls that fasten with white buttons on the straps. A small rectangular tag, possibly indicating the brand or doll's name, is visible on the chest of the overalls. The overall condition appears good with no obvious major damage or repairs, though some minor wear consistent with age and previous play might be present, such as light scuffs on the vinyl head or subtle fading of the clothing fabric. The doll's hands and feet have stitched details to suggest fingers and toes. Based on its design and clothing style, this doll likely dates from the 1980s or early 1990s, the peak period of Cabbage Patch Kids popularity. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced play dolls from that era, focusing on durability and child-friendly aesthetics.
