Hi CPK Sub! I did a mountain of research on Ann (pictured here) and she is fascinating! A few of you here helped me research her as well, thank you! So, I present to you my sweet Ann. She is up for auction if anyone is interested (Checked with the MODS here first that it was ok to post the link.) If anyone is interested in adopting her, please bid on her here eBay Auction for Ann If you have any questions about Ann just for fun, feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer. Love chatting CPK with like-minded people :) Thanks for checking out my sweet Ann 💖
1984 Original Tsukuda Japan Cabbage Patch Kids Doll Ann
African American
Pacifier Girl
Head Mold 4 J11
Birth certificate & Adoption papers in Japanese
RARE!!!!! Tsukuda (Japan) manufactured only 3,000 dolls in 1984. Ann is one of them! Known for her beautiful porcelain complexion, and amazing butterfly eyes.
Excellent vintage condition. Body tag is legible and intact. She is wearing the adorable ruffle dress in white with blue rosebuds, slight elasticity. Her outfit has no inside tags, just as the Tsukuda factory is known for. Her hair is so soft, in the original ponytail w/ the original ribbon. She has her original birth certificate and adoption papers in Japanese, her name is Ann, another Tsukuda trait, no middle name. Her pacifier is quite pristine and clear with no cracking. Her diaper is a Coleco Diaper I put on her. She has only been displayed since I got her.
How did I find Ann??
I purchased three dolls in a lot with clothing 10-15 years ago and never looked at the tags or birth certificates. I was just looking for replacement dolls to the types I had as a kid. I recently checked the tags, and sweet Ann, a Tsukuda doll made in Japan.
Her shoes are not Tsukuda. I am moving soon, so as I started thinning out my collection and the first thing I sold was an extra pair of shoes. Don't you know it, I sold poor Ann's Tsukuda shoes! Her original shoes were white lace ups, which have been replaced with "OK" white lace ups (small scuffs on the back of shoes, see pics)
***No idea if her socks are original. I have multiple dolls, and socks have been cleaned and interchanged.
The only flaws I noticed is a small seam coming out on her shoulder that could easily be stitched up, and a few scuffs on her face/cheek that are likely just from the pacifier. I assume that the previous owner only displayed her as I did. She does not seem to have been played with.
If you have any questions message me. If you have any answers, message me. I can't find another like her. She needs a new forever, loving home!
80s baby here, got my 1st CPK in 1983. Love seeing them carry on giving joy as they did for me!
