Cabbage Kid craze stupid
By Doug Vaughan
Editor in Chief
^Everybody wants the ugly things.
And it seems everyone will do anything to get
them.
Cabbage Patch kids—they are the craze of
the 1983 Christmas rush. Why do they want
them? The kids say they’re cute. But so is a
baby the first time he wets his pants, right?
The funny thing is not that so many
children want them. The funny thing is, parents
are stupid enough to go to great lengths just to
get them.
Near-riots have resulted from this 16-inch
rag-doll. Reports are heard daily about the pro
blems that these dolls are causing.
I saw on the news a Kansas man who flew
all the way to London to get a cabbage patch
doll for his daughter because he couldn’t find
one in America. Then there is the Idaho
newspaper editor that claims his cabbage-patch
infant was kidnapped (Is that the right term?).
More than anything, these dolls are giving peo
ple fame and fortune.
1
he idea was drummed up by an out-of-
work artist who had switched his ambitions to
business. The dolls originally sold for $100-plus
directly out of the Cabbage Patch Kids
hospital, seriously.
In this so called hospital, Cabbage Patch
Kids are actually born, or whatever you want to
call it. The customers can pick the exact doll
they want. It’s theirs after the adoption, an
oath, a completed birth certifícate and some big
bucks.
Coleco, Inc., caught on to the idea and
bought into the business. That is why the ‘Kids’
are out on the market—Coleco went into mass
production. Even though some of the personal
touch is taken out of the dolls, like actual birth,
the craze is still there.
With the toy-store version, the parent
(buyer) still receives the birth certifícate and
one year after the purchase a birthday card is
sent. It brings tears to my eyes.
The $100-plus price tag is dropped to
anywhere from $20-$40, depending where it is
bought. Still, the stiff price has not brought a
slow down in the success of the Cabbage Kids.
jA.nother characteristic that makes the
dolls so personal is that each one is different.
To me, each one does have something in com
mon, they’re ugly. But beauty is in the eye of.
the beholder, right?
The big concern with the recent craze is
that people are getting hurt. Not hurt feelings
because they are sold out, but physical damage.
A seventy-five year-old-man was trampled as
well as a pregnant lady at one store. These in
juries are only the tip of the iceberg.
Is this all worth a $20 doll? Hardly seems
like it to me, but then all I want for Christmas is
a Strawberry Shortcake doll house. I wonder if
they’re sold out, too? I always can ask for tar
tar sauce.
