Cabbage Patch Kids Baseball Player Figurine

This item is a small, hand-painted ceramic or porcelain figurine depicting a Cabbage Patch Kids character dressed as a baseball player. The figurine features a light skin tone, rosy cheeks, and light brown, sculpted hair visible under a dark blue baseball cap. The character wears a horizontally striped shirt in alternating green and yellow colors, topped with bright orange overalls that are detailed with brown straps and buckles. The character's hands are sculpted, with the right hand (from the viewer's perspective) holding a tan-colored baseball mitt. The legs are depicted in the same orange as the overalls, with dark blue shoes painted on the feet. The figure has a generally rounded, youthful appearance characteristic of the Cabbage Patch Kids brand. Its construction suggests it is a solid piece, likely cast from a mold, with painted details applied afterward. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant paint loss, indicating good overall condition. The quality of the paint application appears consistent, with clear lines and vibrant colors. Given the Cabbage Patch Kids association, this figurine likely dates from the 1980s or 1990s, a period when such collectibles were highly popular. The item appears to be a decorative collectible, possibly part of a larger set or series, showcasing typical children's play themes.
