Those dolls are so ugly. I am so glad I was not a child at the time they became popular, as I might have been stuck with one! lol

Some people do like them, maybe also for nostalgic reasons. Are they trying to sell them as "collectibles"?

They have been sold on Q for many years now. I used to see them, I'd have to guess about a decade ago, when my son was still in grade school.

I had no idea they were still around. Are they still popular? I haven't seen them in decades. My kids were never interested in that sort of thing.

I actually think they are the least creepy of all the doll species.

My Mom was always crazy for babies, after they started getting into things, not so much. She bought herself maybe 4 CP babies and I think she just missed having a baby around.

morning juju!! Awwwhhh, my mom has our old dolls in one of the rooms - she likes to look at them too. I think as our moms get older, they want to fondly remember those days when their daughters were just little girls.

My daughter loved her cabbage patch doll. It went to a battered women's shelter along with all her other dolls when she was about 12. I always figured she had a friend in that situation, she never told me why she wanted to donate her stuff.

YES!! I actually bought one on here last week for my one year old Granddaughter. I will put it away for Christmas. My adult kids had their own when they were little and they loved them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

My younger daughter loved hers back then. A fun trend that I did not mind her enjoying.

I actually bought one this morning for Toys for Tots, for Christmas. My children had them many years ago and loved theirs. I'm sure the child who receives this one will too.

I love Cabbage Patch Dolls. I had no idea they sold them here so thanks for the info. I donated one last year around the holidays to an organization that provides assistance and guidance to women and their children up to 3 yrs old.

While I've not been to their new bigger home, if you ever get to Cleveland, GA and experience the "patch" for yourself, it's worth an hour. You have never seen so many in all different styles and sizes. And there are no dolls for sale. There are only "adoptees" with "adoption fees". Say the other thing and the workers will get really mad and whisper to you in hushed tones.

Did someone say cabbage rolls?

ETA-On topic, I had pretty much aged out when they became popular with little girls.

There's a major nostalgia movement going on for the 80s and 90s.

Toys, books, and movies from then are BIG right now. Star Wars is back and Jurassic Park is back. I'm not surprised Cabbage Patch dolls are back, my daughter had many of them when she was a kid.

Remember the RL Stine books our kids used to read? BIG COMEBACK. I just watched a trailer for the new R.L. Stine movie, Goosebumps, and it looks so cute.

Remember Gem? All that is coming back, our kids are already into their own nostalgia

If this means I can pull out my neon pony pants and big hairdos, I may join the younger generation and show them how anklet socks are rocked in pumps.
