Bath Camp and Surgery for Originals
Original Little People and Cabbage Patch Kids are hand-stitched to birth in Cleveland, Georgia. Their "skin" is fabric from head to toe. There is no vinyl on an Original.
Bath Camp is the place to send your Originals for minor repairs and just good clean fun.
We are unable to accept Toy or Exclusive Kids or Babies with vinyl heads or bodies that were manufactured by Coleco, Hasbro, Mattel, Toys R Us, Play Along, Jakks or Wicked Cool Toys.
Additional Exclusions:
Some Special Editions or Collections of Originals are also excluded from Bath Camp because of the delicacy of their hairstyles or other special details (i.e. the painted faces of our clowns).
Any alterations to an Original made by someone other than a trained employee of our company will disqualify that Original from participating in Bath Camp or surgery.
Services Available:
For eligible Originals accepted into Bath Camp we offer the following cosmetic surgeries: baths, the addition of facial dimples, re-blushing, the addition of earrings* or freckles*, (*so long as those features were available within the particular edition or collection.) We also offer limited surgical repairs when possible.
