I was kind of young to remember the frenzy that Cabbage Patch Kids brought around christmas time but my mother remembers the rush very well.

Oh yes. I had three of them - one of the regular ones that had red hair, one preemie, and one Koosa (the animal friends, mine was a cat).

I used to play with these all the time. My kom kept their birth certificates in a photo album for me. I had one that looked like a clown, Gaby (yellow pigtails), Ray (short brown hair and a light brown suit), Heidi, and several others that I can't remember their names.

I had one but I wanted it to be a guy not a girl so I cut all its hair off and named it Argus

they were not cute in a ugly sort of way i heart cabbies they rock and smell good lol

I still have mine. Genevieve Stacey is the name she came with. My brother had a black one called Daryl but unfortunaley he got rid of it.

I still have my first 2 I got when I was really little. My mom took a knife and cut open a hole so Misty my doll could have a pacifier this was before they came out with them. My mom said she saw it in the store a few months before Christmas and thought Id enjoy this little red haired doll. When Christmas came around and people were going crazy like when tickle me elmo came out, she was glad she bought it early. Ive started re-collecting all the dolls I ever wanted and furniture but my collection is in the early stages there is still so much out there I want to collect for just the CKP's. I hope you all enjoy the pics!

we were too poor to afford one when they first came out, but when my older sister got her first real job a few years after the main craze, she used her very first paycheck to buy me one. The doll was named Noel on the tag and had brown hair and eyes and she was dressed all in yellow with little white shoes. She smelled sooooo good, a little like baby powder. I still have her! And two Koosas, a dog and a cat.

We were too poor to be able to afford a cabbage patch kid but I wanted one sooo badly! I ended up "babysitting" them at recess when a girl who had one wanted to play on the swings or whatever! :) I was finally able to get one from my grandma and a Koosa cat from my Grandpa. Thank God for grandparents!!

I was 6 when I got my first one and I still have her which makes her about 23 years old. Her name is Nia. She's gone a bit bald and the stitching of her feet and hands has come off. I can't bear to chuck her though.

Wow, I had so many of these. I remember when they first came out and people were literally scrambling and FIGHTING to get one. It was in 1982 or 1984...can't remember exactly. I loved the way these dolls smelled and the cute names they had! Sometimes I would pick a certain doll based on it's name!

My sister and I each had one. I wasn't interested in most dolls but when she got one for her birthday, I had to have one too. Luckily my birthday is only 2 months after hers. LOL

They are Back!

my brother gave me his cabbage patch kid sammy when i was a little girl. He smelled like vanilla and i brought him everywhere with me. I still have him i am 23 now. His origional name is otto charlie i love him

I had a Cabbage patch doll back in the early 80`s probly about 1987ish i was 4 his real name was Adolf Bailey he was a boy with brown short curly hair and wore a blue and white tracksuit,for some reason my mom changed his name to Nathan Adam..god knows why teehee!! I havent got him anymore but have some old photos with him on for memories.

I still have my cabbage patch doll. She had red hair and green eyes. I renamed her Tasha Marie. I am 30 years old and still have her. I also had the cabbage patch kid play pin that I have been trying to find on line but am haveing no luck finding.

Having turned 8 years old when the first CPK's came out, I of course begged my parents for one! They said that they were ugly, and wouldn't let me have one...even after I saved up my Christmas and Birthday money to buy my own. So, I never had one when the craze was going on. Shortly before my 16th birthday, in 1991, my mom and I were going around to some local antique stores, and I found a MIB CPK from 1983. So, I again started begging. Little did I know that I would get my wish, and that's when my collection first started. After I got married, I came across three CPK's in a thrift store, and that's when I really started collecting. Every week my husband and I would go to thrift stores in search of more CPK's for my collection. It soon grew to over 200, all dating between 1983 and 1987! My husband didn't like to go into my collection room, because he didn't like 400+ little eyes staring at him...LOL! I now have only about 15 or so Kids, as I sold most of my collection. I kept my most favorite ones, as I couldn't part with them all!

I still have my CPK I have 9 of them, I am 32 now, My very first one smelled like baby powder! She still kinda has a smell to her to this day!! I remember I wanted a premiee with a passafire and a bald head, My mom stood in line for her too one year for Christmas!! I am still trying to find one with my name on it, LOL

I wanted one of these so bad X-Mas of 1984. I was so sure Santa was going to bring one for me...and he didn't and I was CRUSHED. I ended up getting my first the Christmas of 1985, her name was Tisha Clara. That was like the best Christmas ever. She went to the movies with me that night to see Back To The Future (Geez that was a long time ago). Years later my Mom told me her and my Dad stood in line forever to get me one that first Christmas and they were sold out everywhere.

I got my first one back in 1984. My family had no luck finding one in 1983. I still have her, and the other four kids I had as a child. I am now 32 and have collected them since the age of 24. I have atleast 75 of them. They are all MIB. Coleco is not the only factory that produced them. They were produced for the European, Japanese, and South African markets as well.

I got my first one in 1984 when I was 4 - I won him (Lyle) for selling more Candles in Preschool than anyone else!!! Two years later, I got Joellen (she was from Holland, had a passport and everything). When I travelled to visit family across the country 2 years later, I brought her with, because she was such an "experienced" traveller!! I still have them both and the other 3 I collected later!!!

I still have my two CPK's - my Kid and the preemie with the bald head and pacifier. My kid has blond short hair and blue eyes and came in a flowered shorts outfit. I was so traumatized because people would say she looked like a boy, so my mom put bows in her hair. I got her after the Christmas craze in the summer and mine was the only one she could get her hands on! At the Christmas craze in 1983, she had one that looked just like me with brown hair and brown eyes but some lady ripped it out of her hands when my mom was in line to pay for it! Nutty! I loved that smell they had. I actually just bought one today for my friend's daughter whose turning 3. She's adorable and has the cornsilk hair.

I loved my cabbage patch doll and my parents got rid of it thinking I was to old for dolls. I so wish I had it now for my daughter. She has one for herself but they just aren't the same.

We had a lot of these. Still do, in fact.

I was 8 years old when I had the Cabbage Patch Kids minatures, a Cabbage Patch Kids storybook, and I was 9 years old when I had Cabbage Patch twins.

I have four, one original with the hard head, one water baby that was entirely water proof, one that was a baby and would burp, and one crimp and curl doll along with matching pony - I still have them and love them, will never get rid of them!

I still have all 3 Cabbage Patch Kids that I got. I got my first one when I was 1 (in early 1992). I have no idea what her real name was but I named her Alison. Later, I also gave her the middle name Alice. She wore pink-striped footy pajamas and was bald except for a little yellow tuft of hair on her head. When my brother was born (when I was 2), my parents got me Owen something--a baby boy. I changed his name to Nicholas and later gave him the middle name James (after my brother). He is bald and wears an airplane-decorated sleeper thing with no legs. When I was five, I saw a CPK at Toys R Us that I just HAD to have. So, for Christmas of 1995, my uncle and aunt gave it to me. I named her Nicole Katelyn--a reversal of my cousin's first and middle name. I still love my CPKs, and they show it. I lost the birth certificates over time, but I can still remember how important those little pieces of paper were.

I got my CPK for Christmas one year. Her name was Xora Mae, it took me a week to figure out how to pronounce it. My mom bought her for me because she was from Texas and thats where we were from.

I was only a year old when the Cabbage Patch Kids made their first debut, so I don't remember them then or the big rush to get out to get them. My uncle told me I got me my first one, even though I don't remember. We had a Cabbage Patch game for the Coleco, I had a Sippin Baby one, one dressed like a chick, and the bunk bed. I don't have the bunk bed anymore or the other stuff. But I do have a few of the newer dolls and books from a book sale.

I was born in 1981, I loved my cabbage patch kids, i had one that was a preemie with little diapers and a bald head, a couple others with big hair, one named beverly and the other jackelyn, isnt that funny that i remember their names, i also had the green and yellow playpen with the white netting , and a cpk horse as well, probably still have them at my parents house im sure...trucked them everywhere i went...cabbage patch kids rock!!!

I still have my daughter's(age 31) Cabbage Patch doll but we can't remember her name! She now wears the first pair of overalls my son wore when he was a newborn. Daughter has a daughter now...three months old. Last year I found a CPD with MY name on it......Gayla Sarah (not my middle name....but Gayla is hard to find anywhere anyway!) Sarah is son's girlfriends name.....so that works!

I have 5 CPKs...my first one I got when I was 8 years old. His name is Benjamin Arnold. Two others I got from friends but don't know their names. Is there anyway to find out??? Another 2 I got at thrift stores.

The first year they were available, my mother had to order one from the manufacturer because stores could not keep them in stock. So my first CPK doll came in an unmarked brown cardboard box (no fancy packaging like the ones on the toy store shelves), and we had no choice what race/sex the doll would be. We were just lucky to get one that was available. So, to my surprise, I got a boy with dark brown curly hair, and brown eyes wearing red sweats and blue and white sneakers, named Armstrong. He came with his "birth certificate" of authenticity, and I still have him to this day.

I also remember that my sister and I got the "newborn" babies CPK's for x-mas one year. By the following summer, the insides of their plastic heads were covered in green polka dots, that multiplied in number. It was mold. We could only figure it had something to do with the baby powder scent in the plastic. We both had to throw our dolls out.

Haha, I wanted one so bad but my mom was never one to stand in line for hours.. Instead, she convinced my grandmother to MAKE one for me, and she really didn't look that bad!

That was like my first official child..mine was named Kirk Emery..I was so excited to get one..I think I still have it but it's dirty I used to put real food in it's mouth...lol. It had a real long pacifier too.

I got my first cabbage patch kid about 3 years ago. Me and my sister where at rite-aid looking at toys cause a guy from our church gave us some money to buy something. When we saw them we fell in love with them and we used our money to buy them. Mine is Nichole Miya and my sisters is Katie Yasmin and we love them very much.

i can remember when this arrived it was reported on the news a reporter was standing a field of cabbages and the dolls were in the cabbages it was so funny LOL

after me and my sister got ours we loved them and we wanted more and more so now we have like about 20 or 30 each. we also go to the flea market and they sell the older ones there for only 3 dollars. i dont know how them people can give them away they are so adorable. me and my sister bot wanted twins but everytime we were at toys r us they didnt have them. so at a yard sale on day we saw an older set of twins and we got them and named them emma and grace. cabbage patch kids rule

look at the pictures the one with a whole bunch of cabbage patch kids laying on a bed with pillows those are all of me and my sisters. like?

all of my cabbage patch kids names are: charlotte,natalie,casandra,nichole,bethany,virginia,holly,haven,lindsey,ailin,lauryn,angeles,bridgette,destinijazmine,damaris,vincent,raegan,shayna,savanah,noelle,carley,lacey,diane,lexi,and i think thats about all of them. i have three asians which are lexi,raegan,and i think the other is jade or isis one of them.

I need to find a certain CPK. If any of you guys know where to find one please email me. Im looking for a girl head mold #6 blue eyes, bean butt. i received her in 87 so i would assume shes 86 or 87. I will pay alot of money for her. i have pictures of her if you think you might have one or know where to get her. email me at avedagirl0311@yahoo.com

I was born in '83 so I don't remember the CPK craze at all, but I do know that my mom worked some magic and got CPKs for my brother and I fairly close to the craze. My brother's first doll was named Lincoln Judd. We call him Sonny, and I've got him now. My first doll was named Tina and unfortunately she was given away. She was a #4 headmold with brown eyes and no hair. Oh yeah, she was a preemie (hence being bald). Don't worry; I definitely made up for losing her! My mom also managed to get twins, a boy and a girl, for my brother and I. My girl is named Helena Beth and the boy is named Simon Leland. Helena Beth is a #6 headmold with lemon color hair and blue eyes. She went through a LOT with me when I was a kid. She has had a hair cut (severely) and has "makeup" on. LOL. Simon is a #2 headmold with lemon hair and blue eyes. He's nearly mint. I have both CPKs now. I like to say that since I was born in 83, the year of the craze I AM a cabbage patch kid. lol. I am now a Cabbage Patch collector with over 100 'kids. My collection started with my original girl Helena and my brother's two. Then my cousin gave me two of her originals, and then I hit the garage sale circuit. Although my collection has much variety (I've got Soft Sculptures, Coleco Kids, Play Along Kids, Mattel Kids, and Hasbro Kids) most of my collection is Coleco Kids. I don't know, I guess the Colecos to me are just more magical because they were made in the 80s. By the way, as they say in Babyland General Hospital- Doll is a four letter word (they are 'kids).

me and my sister got soft sculptures not long ago and today at the flea market in glendale west virginia we got a cpk furskins we named him fuzzy the bear hes adorable

I truly loved the Cabbage Patch dolls as a child, but as a hairstylist in training, I was freaked out by the bald spotsI found in my doll's pig tails!!

I think that I had a Cabbage Patch that had some real doll hair instead of the yarn! I don't think I have her anymore, but I remember it being dressed in a beautiful baby blue dress with white lacey tights. I think it came with a comb and curlers too. If my memory is accurate I think her name was Toya Tiffany. She had the most beautiful raven curls which I probably destroyed with an actual curling iron!!

I remember my mum taking me to Hamleys, London, just before xmas 1984, I think that was when the craze hit the UK! I received a blonde girl, head mold #1 with pigtails that xmas! I took her everywhere with me, I was only eight. Then the following year I received a bald boy with a bit of hair and paci, head mold #4 for my birthday. I regret to say that I chopped the hair off my beautiful little girl! :( I still had her up until a couple of years ago when we were moving and she was in a bit of a mess so I decided it was time to let her go! My little bot ended up with all these spots on his head! Does anyone know what they are??

Tammie, more than likely they are Cabbage Pox. It is a mold growing inside his head. There may be a way to remedy this, perhaps someone else knows?

I loved cabbage patch kid dolls!!!! I now have the chance to buy my own daughter a doll!! My best friend lost her doll in the 80's is there any chance of me getting a web site to create a new one for her? Could anyone help me
