Cabbage Patch Kids

Cabbage Patch Kids are a doll brand created by Debbie Morehead and Xavier Roberts in 1978. The original dolls were all cloth and sold at local craft shows, then later at Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia. They attracted the attention of toy manufacturer Coleco, who began mass-production in 1982. The Coleco Cabbage Patch Kids had large, round, vinyl heads, and soft fabric bodies. After Coleco, the Cabbage Patch Kids were mass produced by other companies, including Hasbro, Mattel, Toys R Us, and Play Along. At the peak of their popularity, the dolls were a must-have toy for Christmas.
