If you were a child of the 80s and 90s, you’d remember the popular, sculptured dolls called Cabbage Patch Kids. Nearly every kid had one, unless your parents opted to buy the cheaper version.
The dolls became a popular toy because of the unique adoption process which made it personal and special. Each doll came with their own unique name and birth certificate. Names could be officially changed but it was a process, and this added to their charm. With a soft body to cuddle, sweet clothes to accessories, adorable facial features and the iconic signature on the butt, the Cabbage Patch Kid dolls hit the spot for retro kids.
They were named “The Little People” and had become very popular in the 80s and 90s. Back then, they were quite expensive toys – an average Cabbage Patch Kid cost $40, which was considered as an “adoption fee”.
However, today, the original Cabbage Patch Kids from the 80s and 90s cost even more – over $1,000 for one doll. “The Little People” were re-released in 2014, but they are not as popular and valuable as their vintage versions.
