Cabbage Patch Kids

Dimpled yarn-haired dolls

Cabbage Patch Kids are soft-bodied dolls with distinctive round faces, yarn hair, and dimpled cheeks.

Introduced in the early 1980s, each came with adoption papers and a unique name, fueling a collecting craze that led to store stampedes during holiday shopping seasons.

The brand name sometimes describes anything generating similar frenzied consumer demand.
