🎄 Christmas Tree Exhibition/Babyland General Hospital/Xavier Roberts

Join HUGHES TV for a look at Babyland General and the very successful creation of Xavier Roberts! Cabbage Patch Kids are a line of cloth dolls with plastic heads first produced by Coleco Industries in 1982. They were inspired by the Little People soft sculptured dolls sold by Xavier Roberts as collectibles. The official Cabbage Patch Kids story tells of a young boy named Xavier Roberts, who was led by a Bumblebee through a waterfall, down a long tunnel, and out into a magical land where a cabbage patch grew little children. When he was asked to help, Roberts agreed to find loving homes for these Cabbage Patch Kids. Cabbage Patch Kids were a huge success and are considered the most successful new doll introduction in toy history. The dolls were popular because they were huggable, unique, and hand-stitched. They were also one of the first dolls marketed to young boys.
