Not Quite Softies....
But still need love!


Did you ever think you had a really good idea, only to find out that everyone else had the same thing in mind? That is what happened to me when I decided to adopt soft sculptured dolls that weren't actually Xavier Roberts Cabbage Patch Kids, but still needed homes anyway. I thought that they'd be a good buy since noone else would be interested, but I ended up paying pretty hefty prices for some of them considering they aren't even authentic! But of course in the spirit of collecting, I followed the trend and now it seems that these kids demand almost as much love as the originals!
Here are the soft sculptures that aim to look like Cabbage Patch Softies, but aren't who have infiltrated our family. :)




Penelope Erin This cute red-head was living a few miles away from me at the time of adoption. She didn't have to come very far! At 22" and very generously stuffed, Penelope can be described in one word: "Plump"! Christine Fiona She's pretty, petite and poseable! She has a face very similar to Cabbage Patch originals, but she's got her own unique features.
Katie Mae I adopted her from Kate Piper and she is really cute and well-done, almost like a real softie. She's only about 10" but the Mattel CPK clothes fit her perfectly! Moon Eyes She's a sight to be held. I've been told that she's scary looking. And how. She was filthy when I found her in a pile of stuffed animals at a Flea Market, so I took her home and washed her twice in the machine and she came out brilliant-clean! She's lumpier and wider than Katie Mae, but about the same height.
Phylicia Lorraine With the exception of not really having a nose, Phylica is a very pretty doll. She is about 23". Charma Maria Charma wins the prize for looking the most like a real Cabbage Patch Softie. She is so cute and well made. She is about 16" with a lovely complexion.
Jenifer Clayre Jenifer is also a pretty good copy of a softie. She is about 15" tall. Sarah Jessica She's about 21" and very cuddly. I drew in her pupils myself. She's named after actress Sarah Jessica Parker!

Lenny and Kenny Ok, now Lenny and Kenny are not for the faint of heart. Although they are not real softies, they are the same size and fashioned after the originals. But Lenny and Kenny have that added feature that boy Cabbage Patch Kids don't- they are anatomically correct! These boys needed a home bad and I got them for a VERY inexpensive price. They are signed "Betty's Babies" on their bums and are perfect gentlemen.
