I have lots of cabbage patch kid doll clothes from my childhood, but the dolls themselves aren't looking so good- their faces have developed a creepy pox. I'd prefer an all-fabric doll anyway, without the hard plastic head (more cuddly that way). Recommendations of a doll that's the right size for full-sized Cabbage Patch Kid clothes? Preferably machine washable?
Looking for non-plastic Cabbage Patch Kid-

wow,
hard question(I collect/sell/refurbish old CPk as a hobby). They did make all fabric CPK-BUT the were called Xavier's kids, and are handmade and very $$-from the OAA factory in georgia(I have owned a few over the years), also most of them were much larger in size and wouldn't fit mass market CPK clothes. There are also kits that you can find sometimes on e-bay for making CPK sized fabric dolls. I think your best be would be to find a kit and then ask a crafty type person to make on for you-that way the clothes would fit right. You can clean the pox out of CPk heads by taking the heads off and cleaning the inside- they also make a cleaner called zit away to remove the pox- it's made by a company called twin pines. Also, every once in a while you can find CPK knockoffs that people hand made-often on e-bay as well. I don't know of anyall fabric non-cpk dolls that fit CPK clothes properly because of how "chunky" the arms and legs are. There was a doll called "my child" that was kind of fabric-like (body felt like velvet) and fits the CPK clothes/shoes.

They still do make the all cloth ones... but you have to get them directly from Babyland General... and they start at $170 for the preemie model... which is more than I'd even begin to think about paying for a doll... (The $170 is for "adoption fees"... "doll" is a four letter word at Babyland General...) If you're ever near Cleveland ,GA... go visit BG. There's no admission fee... and it truly is a cool place. We went April 2005... I'd love to go back!
