Young at Heart Dan Reveals His Worrying Cabbage Patch Kid Collection to The World

Some people never grown up and this is true of British man Dan Knowlton who revealed his extensive collection of dolls to the world earlier today.

The 41-year old has been collecting Cabbage Patch Kid dolls for nearly 30 years, and said the iconic toys are “his children.”

The collector revealed that after receiving his first doll at the age of 12, his addiction “spiraled."

You don’t say, Dan.

Throughout the years Dan has spent thousands adding to his collection and said his people in his neighbourhood now identify him as the guy who collects the dolls.

According to The Irish Sun, Dan said: “Everybody who knows me, knows about my Cabbage Patch collection.”

The dolls have taken over three rooms of his flat in Hampshire, England and he spends hours changing their outfits and dusting the beds, chairs and shelves where they live.

Dan revealed that his proudest moment in life was seeing where the dolls are "born" in Georgia, USA.

“Visiting Babyland was brilliant – an absolute magical experience.”

“My nieces love playing with the kids, although they know not to touch the soft-faced ones," he said.

We’re pretty sure poor old Dan is single, because if we went into someone’s bedroom and saw thousands of "the kids" we wouldn't be long dashing out the door!
