Doll-A-Day 2023 #156: Cabbage Patch Pin-Ups Boy

   Today's doll is one I swear I posted before. But I can't find him anywhere, so here he is today. He's obviously a Cabbage Patch doll.

That screw at the bottom looks like a donut. Throws me every time I see it.

                        I must be hungry.

  What may not be obvious at first is that he's a mini doll. He's a Pin-Ups doll.

He's 5 inches tall.

 He would have originally been in a plastic frame that could be hung on the wall. This little guy's frame had a barn scene inside, and a little stuffed chicken.

He's supposed to be 'a friend for you and your Cabbage Patch Kid'. The frame can be hung on the wall or stood on your dresser. Like all Cabbage Patch Kids, he came with his 'very own name', but he also had 'a secret about (his) favorite place'.

There were several Pin-Ups produced in 1983. I posted one HERE. 

He has Velcro on his back that is for holding him in his frame.

  I had this one in the frame at one time, but he was sold. I regretted it for ages, but then I found this guy. I don't mind not having the frame. I'm glad to have him though. He's so cute, how could I resist him? And he's the only boy Cabbage Patch mini that I have. All my others are girls.

  As small as he is, he has stitched in fingers.

His shirt is part of his body. I'm guessing his bibbed overalls are removable, but I haven't tried.

  As you can see, he has rooted yarn hair and the typical Cabbage Patch face.

  That's the doll for today. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to be able to get a post up today. My computer was freezing up. I had to shut it completely down and restart it several times. It finally started working properly again. It's been running really slowly, and freezing up a lot lately. I must have a virus. I'm going to have to do something about that. anyway, I'll see you again tomorrow, even if I have to borrow Ken's computer to do it.  

Doll-A-Day 2019 # 258: Cabbage Patch MIni Doll

  I know school has been back in session for a while already. But when I was a kid,September was back-to-school month. So today's doll is this little girl.
 

Obviously she's a Cabbage Patch mini doll.
 

To me she looks she's wearing a 'school dress'. 

 

She has a little hat.
 

When I got her she was wearing her hat as a hair tie!
 

   Her hat is held on by elastic,which is a good thing, because there's no way it was staying on otherwise.

When I was in school,I had school clothes and play clothes. As soon as I got home from school I had to change out of my school clothes and put on my play clothes. I was glad to do that anyway,because another thing from when I was a kid was that girls weren't allowed to wear pants to school. I was glad to get home and get out of those dresses and back into my pants. The rule changed somewhere in elementary school. I know that by 6th grade I was wearing pants to school. That would have been 1973-74.
There were a couple of different types of these Cabbage Patch mini dolls. One version looks nearly like this one, except for having stuffed hands,vinyl legs and bare feet, and removable shoes.


This one has soft,stuffed legs,with non-removable vinyl shoes and socks.
 

Her little hands are vinyl too.
 

Her hair is long and blonde. She's only 5 inches tall. I don't think full size Cabbage Patch dolls have such long hair.

I'm not sure about that tongue filled mouth.

She's cute though. Who can resist a Cabbage Patch doll?

  That's the doll for today. Come back tomorrow for another one.
