Vintage 1970s “Mr. Cabbage Comes Out of the Closet” Doll in Box – Campy Adult Novelty – Hong Kong – Rare LGBTQ Satire Collectible

Straight out of the disco era and not even pretending to be subtle…

This vintage “Mr. Cabbage Comes Out of the Closet” doll is a tongue-in-cheek parody piece from the late 1970s / early 1980s — clearly riding the wave of Cabbage Patch style popularity with a very adult twist.

Complete with original box (Made in Hong Kong), this campy novelty doll features:

• Yarn hair
• Green painted eyes
• Blue robe with black scarf
• Original printed packaging with humorous “how to enjoy Mr. Cabbage” instructions
• Closet-door box design
• Rare satirical LGBTQ novelty theme

The back of the box includes over-the-top comedic copy typical of late 70s adult gag gifts and boutique humor items. These were often sold in novelty shops, adult gift stores, and tourist areas.

Condition:
• Doll in good vintage condition
• Some wear and creasing to box (see photos)
• Minor spotting on robe
• Box shows edge wear and age appropriate distress
• Original packaging included

This is absolutely a conversation piece and a slice of pop-culture history from a very specific era of humor.

Perfect for:
• LGBTQ vintage collectors
• Camp / kitsch collectors
• 70s novelty toy enthusiasts
• Retro gag gift displays
• Pop culture memorabilia collectors

A rare and delightfully awkward survivor from the disco decade.
