Vintage 1982 Coleco Cabbage Patch Kids Doll with Collectible Pin

This is an authentic vintage Cabbage Patch Kids doll manufactured by Coleco, dating to the early 1980s peak of the brand's popularity. The doll features the classic hybrid construction of a molded vinyl head joined to a soft, stuffed fabric body. The head is characterized by blonde yarn hair neatly styled in two braided pigtails with white ties, framing a face with bright blue painted eyes. Key identification markings include an 1982 copyright date embossed on the back of the head, a '12' mold number on the neck, and the 'Original Appalachian Art Works' neck stamp indicating its Coleco manufacturing origin. The doll is wearing its original light blue/teal knit outfit, consisting of a sleeveless dress with pink horizontal stripes and a prominent duck applique, plus matching bloomers. A small collectible enamel pin is affixed to the bodice. In terms of condition, the doll shows age-appropriate play wear, including surface soiling and minor blemishes on the limbs. Notably, she is missing her original birth certificate paper tag and is incomplete, lacking one white shoe and one sock. Despite these losses, the structural integrity remains sound and the original cloth body tag with the 1982 date is present, maintaining its status as a desirable early-production collectible.
