ok this is not even an authentic Cabbage patch… the authintic ones did ot have plastic faces…. and Xaiver personally autograhed their butts…. wow I am old!
u are right about the butts being signed, but the authentic ones did have plastic heads and the rest of the body was cloth and the hair was yarn, unless it was a cornsilk kid and then the hair was like barbie hair that u could comb. i know cause i had five of them and i probably woulda taken a pic like this if i had thought of this first and it was still 1985.
Actually, the first set of dolls were called “Adoption Dolls.” They were all fabric (including the head) and about two feet tall. They had yarn hair, painted eyes and their butts were stamped/signed by Xavier Roberts. I got “Tina Merle” (she came with the name and a set of papers that I had to sign, as her new adoptive parent) as an Easter present in the early 80’s. These dolls were rather expensive. A few years later, the more budget friendly “Cabbage Patch Dolls” were created. They had plastic faces, fabric bodies and were much smaller than the “Adopition Dolls.” The “Cabbage Patch Dolls” also had the stamp/signature of X.R on the butt. The “Adoption Doll” series is still around, I believe, because there is a doll hospital in Georgia at Xavier Roberts headquarters. I’m not completely sure if they continue to make the doll or if they just repair/retouch existing dolls. As to the above picture: now, you know, every good doll parent has a picture of them and their “Adoption/Cabbage Patch” doll… I don’t, however, believe they carry it around and show it to co-workers! lol! Got to love some 80’s!
HA! HA! born 1970 had a fake Cabbage Patch Kid that their mom said was real!
J/K! My aunt made me a fake one, and i liked it better… CPK had a weird smell!
I think that one in the pic is a “preemie” from the early-mid-80s. They were still authentic/limited edition and signed on the butt. But they were smaller than the original cabbage patch dolls. I actually still have one around here somewhere…
I do not believe this was a preemie. The preemies had bean-bag style bodies and no hair because they were supposed to resemble just-born babies and not toddlers. I had two preemies; they were my favorites.
Creepiest thing ever
AGREED!!!
senior picture anyone??
or
are you that brave to bring one to school for school pictures?
My favorite is the one with the cabbage patch head eerily suspended in the dark void of space… so 80’s!
Makes me think of Chucky. /shudder
LOL, I KNOW!! i acually had a photo taken of me in 3rd grade with my face fading in backround
It makes me want to sleep with the lights on.
Oh man, I totally had my picture taken with my CPK when I was that age.
Chucky lol
oh mannn, i laughed so hard.
poor girl
I wonder what it is that they put in CPK’s that makes them so lovable? I was a child of the 90’s (born in ‘87) but I adored my cabbage patch doll Gilda that was passed down to me by my big sister. We even have some pictures of my sister, when she was 4, and Gilda in matching witches outfits for Halloween! Haha.
But I guess once I was born she had a real baby to pose with!
You know, those darn dolls were unsettling to me when they came out, and I am about the same age as this chick…the perspective of time just makes them even more disturbing, if that is possible.
Without a doubt, that upper-right pic of the shadowy doll head will HAUNT ME TIL THE DAY I DIE.
Thanks forever, Verda.
We almost had a house fire and my 3 kids would never have forgiven me if I hadn’t rescued their cabbage patch dolls and the Pound Puppy!
Did you really save them, or just almost?
My younger sister still has nearly a dozen cabbage patch kids. I wonder if they are worth anything these days?
Depends on the doll, they sell on ebay starting at around $10.00 up to $1000.00, theres one on there now for $800.00 and its from 1985… sad to think toys i played with in the 80’s are now antiques!
I had and still have the same cabbage patch kid, hmm weirdest thing i did with him was make him Barbies boyfriend.. What in the world was her mother thinking!?!
Now think about this… Her mother or grandmother probably still has that picture on a wall somewhere in their house.
Cabbage Patch Kid watches you while you sleep…
Re…re…re…!
Ha! I don’t see anything strange about this picture. But I was a very serious cabbage patch mommy. My grandma even threw my Sarah doll a birthday party and all of my uncles bought her presents. It was so awesome!
)
and 20 some years later she is still on my bed and my girls don’t get to play with her. (I know I am awful);
I have like 10 CPK dolls!
*BLUSH* I totally have a set of picutres just like this around that age…and my mom had one made into a key chain that she still carries around some 25 years later. However my CP doll is in his chair at my mom’s house…forever in shrine to my childhood I guess!
JC Penny offered complimentary photos on the day you adopted your CP doll. I was so jealous of my younger sister who got Yvonne Ester for her birthday and a set of photos taken similar to these.
The caption completely makes the photo.
