The “classic” mass produced Coleco dolls are generally yarn-haired and chubbier overall. Dolls around the Hasbro time and later have a “newer” look to them with smaller eyes, thinner bodies and updated hair types. Video game giant Coleco began mass-producing the second phase of dolls with hard plastic heads from the early 80s to 1990 when they sold out to Hasbro.

Keep in mind this page is a general guide: there are TONs and TONs of variants to Cabbage Patch Kids around the world that may not be on this list or are currently unknown.Ĭabbage Patch Kid collector info pre-1990:Ĭabbage Patch Dolls in the pre-1990 group are split into two phases. Otherwise, general identifiers for CPKs are: birth/adoption papers that came with the doll, box design/ packaging, colour of signature on the rear, clothing that came with the doll, head mold number, hairstyle/ type, freckles or colouring, accessories the ‘Kid came with such as a crayon or toothbrush, pacifier, and factory type. A good place to always look is eBay to see where dolls similar to yours or like one you want to purchase are going for to get an idea of current pricing. Like any other collectible, a CPK is only worth what someone is willing to pay for them so a hard and fast “guide” is really impossible to come up with, but it is possible to tell if something is “hard to find” and may be more likely to go for a higher sell price among collectors. The worth of a CPK is always fluctuating. If you’re looking to get into collecting Cabbage Patch Kids (or ‘Kids, or CPKs, or “Cabbies” as they are referred to by various collectors), there are several ways to identify what type of ‘Kid you’ve got or are looking to buy. ** If you are looking for the CPK names pages they are here:įor Cabbage Patch Kid Names 1/4 click here.įor Cabbage Patch Kid Names 2/4 click here.įor Cabbage Patch Kid Names 3/4 click here.įor Cabbage Patch Kid Names 4/4 click here.
