Cabbage Patch Kids Type Inventor Xavier Roberts Company (1982–1988) (1988–1994) (1994–2003) (2003) (2004–2011) (2011–2014) (2015–present) Country Availability 1978–present Cabbage Patch Kids are a line of doll-like creatures sold by and registered in the United States copyright office in 1978. The doll brand was one of the most popular toy of the 1980s and one of the longest-running doll franchises in the United States. The characters appeared in many other Cabbage Patch merchandising products ranging from animated cartoons to record albums to board games. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Production history [ ] Creation and development [ ] According to Roberts, as a 21-year-old art student, he utilized the quilting skills he learned from his mother and the historic technique of 'needle molding' to develop his own line of fabric sculptures. He called these hand-stitched, one-of-a-kind, soft fabric sculptures 'The Little People'. (Other soft sculpture dolls dating back to the 19th century were created using similar needle molding techniques.) His Little People were not offered for sale, but were 'adopted' each with their own individual name and birth certificate.

Instead of paying a purchase price, those adopting Little People would have to pay an adoption fee. The Little People were first offered for adoption at arts and crafts shows, then later at, an old medical clinic that Roberts and his friends-turned-employees converted into a toy store, in. An early transaction at Babyland General Hospital worth noting is the adoption of the only Little People quintuplets ever born at the facility. Bennie and Jeannie Shelton of Cumming, Georgia paid $5,000 to adopt the one-of-a-kind set of five identical dolls. Also worth noting is one of Roberts' very first Little People dolls he ever created sold at an auction in Virginia in the early 80's for $3,000. Instances like this are among the reasons why Roberts was a self-made millionaire by the time he was 26 years old. The following is an abbreviated version of the origin story Roberts came up with for his Little People: ' Xavier Roberts was a ten-year-old boy who discovered the Cabbage Patch Kids by following a BunnyBee behind a waterfall into a magical Cabbage Patch, where he found the Cabbage Patch babies being born.

To help them find good homes he built BabyLand General in Cleveland, Georgia where the Cabbage Patch Kids could live and play until they were adopted. BunnyBees are bee-like creatures with rabbit ears they use as wings. They pollinate cabbages with their magic crystals to make Cabbage Patch babies. Colonel Casey is a large stork who oversees Babyland General Hospital. He's the narrator of the Cabbage Patch Kids' story.

(This discovery legend would be reproduced on every Cabbage Patch Kids product from 1983 onward.) Coleco years [ ] The name change to Cabbage Patch Kids was made in 1982 when Xavier's company, Original Appalachian Artworks, began to license a smaller version of the handmade creations to a toy manufacturer named which began mass production the same year. The Coleco Cabbage Patch Kids had large, round heads (originally of a different, hard plastic), and soft fabric bodies, and were produced from 1982 to 1989, many at a factory in. The first two years production was all from the Far East, with nine head variations produced and computer-matched with bodies to ensure each doll was 'different'. It was, in fact, a marketing ploy that worked quite well as a wide range of variations resulted. (Source: Larry Moniz, then senior account supervisor for the Coleco account at Richard Weiner Public Relations in NYC.) At the peak of their popularity, the dolls were a must-have for. Parents across the flocked to stores to try to obtain one of the Cabbage Patch Kids for their children, with fights occasionally erupting between parents over the hard-to-find dolls.
