In determining whether or not you hit the gold mine with your old Cabbage Patch Kids, here are four basic pointers to keep in mind when examining your dolls:. In very rare instances, the signature may be on the right butt cheek or upside down.

In addition to this signature, there is also a year printed—if there is no year, the color of the signature indicates the year. Body tags indicate where the doll was made, both factory and country-wise. This trait is especially useful for those who want to sell and prove the authenticity of dolls made overseas. However, keep your eye out if you have a doll that is embroidered—dolls with embroidered body tags were among the first of the Coleco-released dolls and are considered extremely rare.

Even if you did have in possession a rare doll, it may not fetch for as much money compared to a doll in better, intact condition. Depending on the factory, the vinyl material of the head could be suspect to growing spots, having discoloration, or becoming sticky due to contact with moisture—the former most condition is known as pox in the Cabbage Patch Kids fandom.

Be especially careful when handling and storing your older dolls as in some cases even the touch of a finger could trigger pox! As the popularity of the Cabbage Patch Kids took the US by a storm, the dolls would soon be produced in overseas factories to keep up with domestic demand and eventually be sold in other countries well.

A prime distinctive trait for these dolls is that their heads, their bodies, and even their faces were made entirely from cloth, and they also had larger thumbs. Some were even hand-signed by Xavier Roberts himself, and these hand-signed ones sell for even more cash.

Given their vintage status and history, these dolls are for the ultimate Cabbage Patch Kids collectors. Like their successors, the Little People dolls all had custom names and birthdates with complementing adoption papers and birth certificates. Little People dolls with their original paperwork or that have been hand-signed by Roberts himself tend to be on the higher end of selling prices.

In terms of eyes, the Little People girl dolls have been seen with starting blue eyes to a softer hazel look. The hair is typically a yarn-like material, and hair colors have come in a range of bright red to mute brown. The most common hairstyles include pigtails, curls, and ponytails.

In some cases, the hairs of the dolls are adorned with accessories such as bows. Another distinctive trait of a Little People girl doll is a dusty pink blush across the body. Like their gal counterparts, the Little People boy dolls come with a similar range in eye-color and also had yarn-like hair, though their available hairstyles and hair colors vary differently. Some Little People boy dolls have scooped back hair or permed hair, and their hair colors were more on the tame side from deep to light brown as well as blonde.

They typically came in shirt and jeans, though the shirts have varied, including a Little People logo-ed shirt. While Cabbage Patch Kids look closer to toddlers, the Little People had dolls that had a closer resemblance to babies. Fittingly, they were more on the bald end and came in vintage baby clothes. In terms of eye color, Little People baby dolls had deep brown, blue, and green shades. With the deal reached between Roberts and toy manufacturer Coleco, was when the Cabbage Patch Kids really began to take off.

Met with much fanfare at the International Toy Fair in New York, the Cabbage Patch Kids were featured on Newsweek and mass production of them shortly began after their large debut. Roughly 14 to 16 inches tall, these Cabbage Patch Kids were diverse in eye color, hairstyle, and outfit.

They had cloth bodies but vinyl heads, and the quality of the vinyl often depended on the factory that produced them.

It should be noted that for the Cabbage Patch Kids each one had a unique computer-generated name and birthday as well as matching adoption papers and birth certificate to boot.

Many collectors often comment that it is rare if not impossible to find two dolls that look exactly the same.
