Vintage 1983 Coleco Cabbage Patch Kids Doll

This is a vintage Cabbage Patch Kids doll manufactured by Coleco, dating to approximately 1983. The doll features the iconic soft-sculpt cloth body with a molded vinyl head. Its physical characteristics include blonde yarn hair styled in pigtails with white ribbons, blue eyes, and a classic dimpled facial expression. The doll is dressed in a vibrant red and white gingham check dress featuring tiered ruffles, white lace eyelet trim, and rickrack detailing. The outfit is completed with original white socks and white plastic lace-up shoes. Construction is consistent with early 80s production, showing a high level of mass-market toy craftsmanship from that era. Markings include an embossed '1983' and a number '9' on the back of the head, and an intact body tag dated '1982'. The condition is assessed as very good to near mint, displaying excellent preservation of fabrics and vinyl. There are no major stains, tears, or significant degradation of the elastic or yarn. A minor surface blemish is noted on one shoe, which is common for plastic of this age but appears treatable. The doll retains its original aesthetic integrity and represents a prime example of the 1980s soft doll craze.
