Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - For those that remember the ever popular Cabbage Patch Kids, there is a new doll that will soon be hitting eBay for charity.

Four one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kids have been created and dressed to look like Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain and VP candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. The dolls, which can be found on eBay starting on Thursday, October 30, will be sold by Jakks Pacific, a leader in the children's toy industry.

The proceeds from the auction will go to Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The auction will end on November 4.

Palin's look-alike doll will feature her famous brown up-do, rimless glasses, red business suit and high heels.

Genna Rosenberg, a Jakks Pacific Inc. spokesperson, told the press, "We've had a great history with making celebrity look-alikes with these Kids. We've done everyone from Elvis to Donald Trump to Ellen (DeGeneres) and Oprah (Winfrey)."

The company will also be auctioning off six limited edition 25th anniversary dolls that will look like the original Cabbage Patch Kids, also with the proceeds going to charity. The dolls, first released in 1983, will feature the vintage fashions, hairstyles and facial expressions that made them so popular. The proceeds for these dolls will go to Operation Smile.
