In 1978 Xavier Roberts from Cleavland, Georgia opened Babyland General Hospital offering soft sculptured dolls that he created and called Little People. These dolls were each said to be unique and rather than being purchased were adopted for an adoption fee and came with birth certificates. In 1982, Mr. Roberts entered into a licensing agreement with the Coleco company to manufacture and widely distribute these dolls as toys. They became known as Cabbage Patch Kids. These dolls were slightly smaller than the original Little People dolls and rather than being entirely made of fabric, they had a vinyl head and a cloth body. Each one was also declared to be unique and came with their own birth certificate and adoption papers. These dolls took the world by storm! In 1983 supply was unable to meet consumer demand and the limited amount of dolls became highly sought after by collectors and parents hoping to give their children a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas. After a year or so as the dolls became readily available the mania died down. The dolls were produced in many forms over the years from Premies to Cornsilk Kids (with nylon rather than yarn hair to Snack Time Kids made in the mid-1990's that were re-called from the market because the had a tendency to not only eat their snacks, but occassionaly their owner's long hair! Cabbage Patch Kids were subsequently produced by Hasbro and are currently manufactured by Mattel. The newer dolls are entirely made of vinyl.

Cabbage Patch Kids were one of the biggest toy fads of the 1980s with more than 65 million dolls sold by the year 1990. It was also one of the longest-running doll franchises in America. Interest sparked and reached an all-time high when doll creator, Xavier Roberts, opened a doll factory known as Baby Land General Hospital where he marketed and sold dolls in a recreated hospital-like setting. Employees dressed in maternity ward attire to fully play the role. It was here that these Cabbage Patch Dolls were born and adopted by families. Since the 1980s, the target audience for Cabbage Patch Dolls has shifted from young boys and girls to a wider spectrum of not only children but also collectors interested in buying these vintage items because the dolls hold a special sentiment to past memories and have an investment value. The passion of collecting these dolls has led to a continued frenzy as buyers shop marketplaces such as e Bay searching for the perfect addition to their family. A Brief History of the Cabbage Patch Kids In 1978, Xavier Roberts created a doll line called Little People, which stemmed from a German fabric-sculpture technique known as needle molding. He started selling these dolls at craft fairs across the southern United States and later created a doll factory known as Baby Land General Hospital where he continued to make and sell hand-sewn original works. The popularity of these dolls took off after Roberts was featured on the documentary TV show Real People, and in 1892, Roberts entered into a licensing deal with a major toy manufacturer, Coleco. It was at this point that Coleco changed the name of Roberts’ doll line to Cabbage Patch Kids. By the end of 1983, more than 3 million dolls had been adopted. In 1985, a Cabbage Patch Kid by the name of Christopher Xavier became the first doll to travel aboard a NASA U. S. space shuttle, and in 1992, the doll.
Cabbage Patch Kids is a line of copyrighted soft sculpture dolls created by 21-year-old American art student Xavier Roberts in 1978. They were originally called Little People and were adopted rather than sold. Each came with its own adoption paper and birth certificate. Xavier's Little People were inspired by the work of Martha Nelson Thomas, an artist from Kentucky who was creating her own dolls since the early 1970s. Roberts saw Thomas' dolls sold in a consignment store and bought them up, selling them afterwards in his own store with a substantial markup. Eventually, he decided to make his own copies of them, selling them as Cabbage Patch Dolls. He used his own needle molding and the sculpting techniques he learned in art classes to make the copies. These hand stitched to birth fabric dolls were designed as fabric sculptures and were first offered at arts and crafts shows, then later at Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia.[2] The doll brand went on to become one of the most popular toy fads of the 1980s and one of the longest-running doll franchises in America.[3] The name change to Cabbage Patch Kids was made in the early 1980s when Xavier's company, Original Appalachian Artworks, began to license a smaller version of the hand made creations to a toy manufacturer named Coleco. An abbreviated version of the discovery legend was reproduced on every Cabbage Patch Kids product from 1983 onward. Parker Brothers published the original story retitled Xavier's Fantastic Discovery in 1984 and their Parker Records produced a Gold Album using the characters. The characters appeared in many other Cabbage Patch merchandising products ranging from animated cartoons to board games: Xavier Roberts was a ten-year-old boy who discovered the Cabbage Patch Kids by following a Bunny Bee behind a waterfall into a magical Cabbage Patch, where he found the Cabbage Patch.
