I was watching the History channel on 12/5/22 and Xavier Robert’s is NOT the person who created the Cabbage Patch fool, it was Margaret Nelson who created the doll. She hand made these dolls and Xavier Roberts was helping her sell the dolls she worked hard to make a s sold. Xavier Roberts from what I saw on the History Channel he took her creations and made it his own and profit from it. He didn’t even give her credit for all of the hard work or all of her ideas for the doll. She did take him to court, but unfortunately and sadly she died. Xavier Roberts can at least do the right thing and give Ms. Nelson’s family a yearly profit from what he made off of what he was making from her ideal of dolls that she created, that is the least Xavier Roberts can do. If it was not for Ms. Nelson, Roberts would have the money he has today. Xavier Roberts needs to face it, this was NOT his ideal at all, to me he needs to be a man and do the right thing. I know that anything with his name on it Robert would tell people the dolls weren’t for sale but that they could be adopted at a price ranging from sixty to as much as a thousand dollars. Robert sold the dolls at arts and crafts shows before opening a clinic that he called BabyLand General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia where the employees dressed up like doctors and nurses and took care of the dolls in cribs as if they were real babies. Furthermore, each cabbage patch doll box also contained a “birth certificate” containing the kids’ first and middle names, making the dolls as personal as the children who wanted to adopt them. Vintage Cabbage Patch Dolls The Cabbage Patch Dolls were not only an instant hit during the 1980’s but could also be described as a ‘fad’ within this decade. Every second little girl was asking Santa Claus for one in 1983, even so much so that the shopping centers who sold these were crowded with moms trying to get their hands on one in time for Christmas before they sold out. Feature While many Cabbage Patch Kids are worth no more than a couple of hundred dollars, this particular CPK remains intact in his original box hence the high auction price.

Cabbage doll sizes changed from the first ones produced by Xavier and down the years that production changed hands repeatedly. For example, the ones produced by Coleco in 1982 were 16 inches tall. Knowing and following the timeline of changes from one designer to the other helps you compare and identify genuine dolls. Features Created by artist Xavier Roberts, who used quilting skills learned from his mother as well as the more historic needle modeling technique, the first Cabbage Patch Kids were simply known as The Little People. Roberts originally sold his Little People dolls at art shows. Instead of handing over a set amount of cash, interested buyers only needed to pay an adoption fee for one of his carefully made dolls. As Roberts received positive reception for his handmade dolls, he moved his operations into a former clinic, dubbing the renewed facility as Babyland General Hospital, where even today curious travelers can watch Cabbage Patch Kids be taken care of by sale employees roleplaying as nurses and medical staff. One appealing point about the dolls was that they weren’t bought, but rather, adopted, and the adopter would have to take a vow to care and love their doll. It wasn’t until 1982 when Roberts reached a licensing deal with toy production company Coleco that the Little People dolls were rebranded as the dolls we know today: Cabbage Patch Kids.

All of which have a fundamental role to play in its success. A Cabbage Patch Doll like this is a valuable vintage and rare item. 14. Hand Signed Little People Twins If your doll is one of those that were produced in millions, this drastically reduces the value since there are probably hundreds of dolls like yours on the market. But if your doll fulfills the other factors like possessing adoption papers then your chances are increased. Date Of Manufacture While the Cabbage Patch Kid may sound like ‘just another doll’, what added to their popularity was the fact that each doll came with their own adoption papers, the dolls were soft, meaning they could be taken to bed just like a fluffy animal and they were somewhat ugly but in a cute way. The legend (story) behind how the dolls had came to be also made it feel as though the adoption process was real for many little girls who had been gifted a Cabbage Patch Kid. In the earlier years of production, the company also stated that no two dolls were identical. This meant every child in the street had their own unique doll. Recognizing a Cabbage Patch Kid Richard Russell is literally a baby! Well, not exactly! But this doll is fully draped like a baby and has its own pacifiers and toys. And since Cabbage Patch Kids stopped making it in 1999, this one is a rare collectible now!

Distinctively known for their bloated heads and slightly disturbing faces, yet somehow endearing with their soft appearance and huggable form, if there’s one doll that could define the ‘80s, it would hands-down be the Cabbage Patch Kids as they were the ultimate definition of a fad and its extremities in the 1980s.
