Toy News: Original Cabbage Patch Kids Re-Released!
Author: Caitlin
As painful as it is to admit for those of us who owned them back in the 80s, Cabbage Patch Kids are now 25 years old (oh god, I feel old). To celebrate, the company is re-releasing the original dolls.
Each one comes with “a Commemorative Certificate that has been personally hand signed by Xavier Roberts, the Creator of the Cabbage Patch Kids” and the buyer can choose to have a personalized “adoption certificate” if they order through the Cabbage Patch website.
It looks like people are already trying to recreate the Great Cabbage Patch Panic of 1986 by buying early and then trying to jack up the price on eBay and Amazon. I saw several for over $100. To avoid that insanity, buy directly from the website, where they retail for about $40 ($3 extra for the personalized certificate). Thankfully, I took quite good care of my dolls (with the exception of a tragically misguided event involving scissors and long, luxurious fake hair), so I don’t need to buy replacements to relive my childhood - I can just go in my mom’s attic and be there in an instant. For those of you not so lucky, get some before they run out!
