These dolls have been subject to a great urban myth, regarding this particular toy ,the  story was that cabbage patch kids.

 Were created to help the public deal with  birth defects as the result of a nuclear war,  which is like believing that the moon is made out of green cheese.


The inventor of the doll is Xavier Roberts.


Working in soft sculptures in the 1970s . Using hand stitched fabric to produce a variety of expressions for the face of the Soft dolls .

Hand painted details and real clothes, each of the little people he created was a labour of love and highly desirable to doll enthusiasts and collectors.

Roberts skills did not stop at the creation of his new dolls he was also a gifted salesman.


he came up with the idea of adopting a doll rather than buying it.

Dolls were supplied with certificates stating they were not made but born in a hospital.


They didn’t become cabbage patch kids until 1983, when Coleco stepped in to offer mass production techniques.

Making it possible to move 3 million units in the first year of sales, the craze was now in full swing and demand was exceeding production.




Cabbage patch kids are very desirable collectables and a signed doll by Roberts can still fetch $1500. 



 but on average depending on the doll with its original box.
