Cabbage Patch Kids Turn 25
In 1983 a line of dolls, called Cabbage Patch Kids, captured the hearts of consumers and kicked off an unprecedented consumer craze. Since 1983, more than 115 million Cabbage Patch Kids have made their way in to the hearts and homes of children worldwide, making Cabbage Patch Kids the best-selling large doll of all time.
The Cabbage Patch Kids are celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a line of Limited Edition Cabbabge Patch Kids CPK 25th Anniversary Dolls that will only be available for a short period of time. Each one-of-a-kind ‘Kid will be an exact reproduction of one of the originals using the original sculpts and molds.
We had the opportunity to get one of these Limited Edition ‘Kids early and let me tell you, “Anna” is a bonified member of the doll family already. My daughter has had so much fun playing with her – taking her everywhere basically – even on bike rides, which I hear “Anna” loves!
If you had a special Cabbage Patch Kid in the 80s (or anytime since), you can visit the Cabbage Patch Kids website and post your own photos, memories, and video to share with others. The Cabbage Patch Kids website also has some fun games, printables, and activities that little ones will love, too!
Firstie! YES! My sister and I used 2 LOVE cabbage patch kids, before we got into AG. Together, I think we had like 15 or 20 dolls! Also, I still have my old CPK from when I was a baby.
Oh, well I wasn’t around in the 80s. But, I was in the late 90’s. That’s when I got “Twinkle” (I was 2 okay?)
Wow – 25 years!! I can’t believe it. It must have been a great new idea at the time.
I personally don’t like cabbage patch kids. My mom has one from when she was 10. It’s up in our play room.. or movie theater… I forgot! LOL! It might be in Claire’s room actually…
I don’t know, I think they’re kind of creepy looking. I remember having one when I was a kid, but I don’t see what the big deal over them was! They’re just cloth and a little bit of vinyl!!! Freaky looking too…
I think that they are kinda cute for younger children, although I personally like my ag dolls a lot better! They are a little creepy looking…
They’re not creepy! They are my childhood from when I was 8!
Yeah, me too! For Xmas when we were, what, nine, Zoe? I got her a gorgeous CPK and named her after me. Well, my middle name, Elizabeth, but she shortened it to Beth, so she was SaraBeth Luna. And then, when we were, I think ten, I got her a cpk newborn, but she lost it. Thanks a lot, Zoe lol jk
What was the meaning of Sara in SaraBeth, Zo-Zo?
LOL, those things are tiny
I think there cute but for someone much younger I like AG dolls better.
idk its cute though. sadly, the following year, I got an american girl doll and those dollys were left out. i still have them under my bed though
Whether or not they are creepy is personal opinion. Like they could be so cute to one person but really scary to another. I really dislike the plastic ones, but I think the ones with the cloth faces/bodies are neat–I’d like to be able to sew a doll with that much detail.
im saving up my money 2 send my JLU 2 the doll hospital. i hope they make her look brand new. she needs it1 lol, rite jess?
YESSSSSS It was a momentary shock to see her bald. LOL LOL LOL
why is she bald? and how did that happen?
I got her off ebay and there was a little whole in her wig. I took the fork I was eating my lunch with and picked at the whole. (Really dumb). Next thing you know, you have a bald doll!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! well I hope you get that fixed anywho I’m going to be getting Felicity with my b-day money and anything I can find and so far I need 74.00$ and that could take a while.
yeah, it could, Felicity4Ever. Hey, just to let you all here new know, Zoe and I have our own blog, too, about AG! It’s called, Inner Star Weekly: American Girl News and Stuff. Our website is:
http://www.innerstarweekly.blogspot.com
Enjoy, because no one’s posted yet!! and i just added our first poll.
Well I have thought about it for a looooooooooong time and I’m not going to get a Felicity doll I’m going to get the new harvest moon game instead just thought to let you know bye.

I only had one CP doll while I was growing up, and I didn’t like it very much. She had a clock on her overalls, and brown hair, the shoes and socks are long gone, and she’s in the bottom of my closet somewhere. Poor her.
Hi, everyone! Wow, I can’t believe hurrican Gustav didn’t do much to New Orleans. But I’m very happy that the levees blocked out most of the water. It’s cloudy here. We’re about two or three states ffrom the coast, so it’s cloudy here from Gustav’s remains. Well, three more ‘canes r coming! As if GUSTAV wasn’t enough!
Hey, there’s a hurricane named Josephine. Like Josefina. BTW, she’s STILL gorgeous!
And thank you, all who voted in our poll. We appreciated it lots, Zoe and I! Okay, I think I’m going to play with Tanner now, so I’ll talk to you all later. Bibi!
OK, we are going to the airport right now with our dad to go see our mom (in LA)

I have: Molly, Kirsten, Kit, Nellie, Elizabeth, Emily, Nicki, Samantha, Julie, Mia, and Ruthie.
oh cool! I have Elizabeth and Samantha and soon to be Mia! I know this sounds silly/odd/strange but i was asking Zoe what mia’s undies looked liked because i made a leiile bathing suit skirt so i was just curious….LOLOLOL!
not a LEIILE bathing suit skirt a LITTLE bathing suit skirt…LOLOL!
yeah they have stars but what color are they though?
?=I
Wait, why does it say my comment is awaiting moderation??
what color are mia’s undies?
Marcia – I think that happens sometimes when you all start posting comments too quickly. The software thinks you are spamming. So take time to breathe between comments and see if that helps.
Marcia…I really do not like bugging you about it but I am just so curious about what color Mia’s undies are because i made a cute bathing suit skirt so i was just really curious.Thanks…
AG Fan 4ever
The post I had with the answer is awaiting moderation. Anyway, they’re basically the color of Mia’s high tops.
And thanks Char.
ok thank you so much Marcia!I was soo curious! do you know anything new about AG?!?
Besides that new stuff is coming out tomorrow?
Well, Kit is supposed to get A LOT of stuff tomorrow, and Josefina Kaya and Samantha will get new outfits. I already posted that before though.
And…hmm… Mia’s whole world comes out tomorrow and so do 4 new JLY…but again, that’s already been posted. I hear there’ll be a new science and art set but that might be on here already too.
So I guess I don’t know anything truly new.
I’m going to have to get off the computer soon, just so you know.
I can’t wait till the new stuff… TODAY!
Yeah!
If only they’d hurry up and add the new stuff to their site. I did hear one thing just today: The new JLY supposedly will include an african american doll.
I WISH THEY WOULD HURRY UP!!!
BTW – Marcia, are u jllforever on AGFMB? I was assuming it was u…
EVERYTHING BETTER BE UP WHEN I CHECK LATER!!!!
NOTHING YET!!!
Oh goodness. Now I’M home sick. I am losing my voice so I have 2 go a whole day without talking which will be difficult for me. I hope I get well soon cuz I’m supposed 2 do this play thing on Saturday. But I’m not gonna dump my problems on complete stangers so i’ll talk about the new suff. I’m gonna check right now. Tell ya if I find any thing.
THEY HAVE SUCH AWESOME NEW STUFF!

I like the hispanic best too! Then the one who looks like Jess, then the blonde, then the african american. Also, I like the new meet outfit SO much better than the old one!
The look of it’s OK, but why does it have to be PINK?! Why not pale green or yellow?
I know, I know, it’s aimed towards young girls, and young girls like pink.
I just saw all the nu ag stuff…
AND IM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish the outfit was blue & gray, but pink works 2
you know what I noticed about the new JLUs? they look tanner than the old ones
and their hair is thinner
I like yellow.
I’m bored. I want the UPS man to come already!
I could just be the lighting they took the pics under, too.
Yeah, it could. I think I’m gonna order one of them, so I’ll know for sure when she gets here.
But you’ll never know!
