Cabbage Patch Kids at ToysRUs in 1984

It has been forever since the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls were the hot Christmas toy, but back in 1984 when this newspaper ad was new, everyone remembered the success of the toys and Coleco did all they could to meet the demand for the ugly little dolls. As often happens with a fad, the legs fell out from under the Cabbage Patch Kids and the landscape changed, but this ad holds so many dreams that I’d like to forget what eventually happened to the company and instead just focus on the toys.
