What are Kewpie Dolls?
Kewpie dolls are dolls which are characterized by having fat cheeks, very wide eyes, and a twist of curled hair on the top of their heads. When these dolls were first released in 1912, they were immensely popular, and while Kewpie dolls are not as abundant and popular as they once were, Kewpie collectors do exist, ensuring a strong continued market for the dolls. Replicas and modern dolls can be found at many toystores, while vintage Kewpie dolls can sell for very large sums, especially if their provenance can be verified.
