Wicked Cool
Wicked Cool Toys has secured the Cabbage Patch Kids license, and will introduce a new line of dolls for kids, parents, and collectors. The adoptable 14-inch Cabbage Patch Kids are available in Preppy Girl, Rocker Girl, Adventure Girl, Glitz Girl, Trendy Girl, Glam Girl, Vintage Girl, and Adventure Boy. Each comes with a unique name, birth date, birth certificate—and for the first time—a bracelet with a heart-shaped charm that interacts with the Cabbage Patch Kids’ Adoptimals pets. Adoptimals are 8-inch furry friends that make sounds, say phrases, and have a special heart locket that lights up. Kids can also boogie down with The Dancing Cabbage Patch Kid. When kids squeeze the doll’s hand, the song “I Feel Good” comes on and the doll grooves to the beat.
Famosa Famosa’s Nenuco collection will feature new dolls and packaging that reflect the modern mom and kids’ desires to be just like their mommies. The line features soft-bodied dolls that range from 14 to 16 inches long and provide aspirational role-play for kids of all ages. For the youngest kids, My First Baby is available in two themes and has a soft vanilla scent. Kids ages 2 to 4 can practice being a real mommy with the Complete Starter Set—a 10-piece set that includes everything kids need to feed and bathe their babies, and comes with a crib for bedtime.
