Jesmar Preemies
When the demand for CPK dropped, the foreign factories ceased production and all of the leftover dolls or spare parts were sent to Coleco. It is called a transitional period and you may find foreign kids in Coleco boxes and vise-versa.You may even find kids with mismatched factory heads and bodies.
At one point Jesmar was going to produce Preemies, but they did not end up making them. The heads that they made were sent to Coleco, so there are a few Jesmar Preemies out there, they are considered very rare. These Preemies have Jesmar heads the size of Coleco Preemies in head molds 1, 3 and 4, and they have Coleco bodies. They did not have tufts of hair like some Coleco Preemies and did not follow combo rules. The clothes are marked Coleco as well, but were made with different materials. |
Modern Cabbage Patch Kids |
I do not collect many modern CPK, but in 2008 the 25th Anniversary Kids were released.
They looked so much like the Kids of the 1980s that I had to have a couple. The 25th Anniversary Kids, Preemies and Babies were produced by Play Along Toy Company. |
