Cabbage Patch Kids are a brand of doll created by
Xavier Roberts. The original dolls were all cloth and were
available at local craft shows, and later at
Babyland General Hospital in
Cleveland, Georgia.
The dolls attracted the attention of
toy manufacturer
Coleco, who began mass producing them for the public in
1983. The Coleco Cabbage Patch Kids had large, round vinyl heads
and soft fabric bodies, and were produced from
1983-1989. After Coleco went bankrupt, the dolls
were later mass produced by other companies and currently
Play Along.
Mattel started producing them.The
gimmicks of the dolls are their uniqueness and the fact that
they were adoptable. No two were exactly alike; each doll had a
different eye color, facial features, hair, and/or outfit. In
the mass-produced dolls, subtle differences were introduced with
a computer
for each run.
At the peak of their popularity, the dolls were a must-have
toy
for
Christmas. Parents across the
United States 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. In later
years, Coleco introduced variants on the original and derivatives of the original line of dolls continued to
be marketed.
Although the C P Kids
fad
has largely passed, there remain a significant
number of
die-hard collectors.
