Xavier Roberts was born in 1955.
The cabbage patch kids were made in the year 1983. They were actually sold during 1985. Xavier Roberts invented them. He was a designer, born in Clevlend Georgia in 1955. He made each doll with their own identity. They each had an adoption certificate and could be named. He wanted to show little kids that each and every person is unique, different. They would come wanting to find a home and to be loved. Simple things can teach us a lot!
Cabbage Patch Dolls were created by Xavier Roberts. They are called Cabbage Patch because when he was a child, he was told by his parents that he came from a cabbage patch so he used that name for his dolls. When he first started making them they were called "Little People". He wanted to make each doll unique so he went to garage sales and bought clothes for the dolls. Also he used his very own birth certificate to christen the 1st one he made. The dolls attracted the attention of toy manufacturer Coleco who began mass-producing them in 1982 I and it was then that they were renamed as Cabbage Patch Kids. Today the licence to produce the dolls is held by Play Along toys. These dolls are now so popular that all major us politicians have been depicted by them including barak Obama and Sarah Palin http://www.pretendplaystore.net
No, he doesn't.
A 1975 Cabbage Patch Kid does not exist. The Cabbage Patch Kids were originally called Little People and were completely handmade, unlike the Cabbage Patch Kids we know today, which are mass produced with vinyl heads. Although Xavier Roberts, the creator of this iconic brand, may have dabbled in soft sculpture in 1975, these are his own private creations. He has identified a few unmarked Little People from 1976 and 1977 as his own, but the first labeled and "adopted" Little People are from 1977/1978. The brand was not renamed Cabbage Patch Kids until 1982.
Peter Durand invented the tin can in 1810. The Cabbage Patch Kids were invented by Xavier Roberts in 1976. William Seward Burroughs invented the calculator in 1885.
I have three original cabbage patch dolls signed by Xavier for sell. How much are they worth?
The year would be 1976. The creator was Xavier Roberts. They were the hottest things on the market and costs were going as high as $100 for them; at that time a huge sum of money for an ugly doll that did nothing.
