Cabbage Patch Kids in 1985
Cabbage Patch Kid-mania was at the peak in 1983 and 1984 . . . so in 1985 Coleco introduced several new items to keep buyers interest - the new products included the World Travelers! Two boy and four girl Cabbage Patch Kids were outfitted in special outfits and handed suitcases, passports and flight bags. An article in the September DollReader magazine tells the success story and offers adorable pictures.
According to the Coleco story line, the Cabbage Patch dolls visited China, Holland, Scotland, Spain and Russia . . . arriving home with a native costume, souvenier T-shirt and a flight bag. Unfortunately the series was discontinued the following year and not many mint dolls remain. It was an adorable concept . . . we need someone to do it again!
