Why did Xavier Roberts invent Cabbage Patch Kids?
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

If you own any of the soft-head CPK dolls made by Xavier Roberts, those dolls are very much in demand (especially the ones made in the early 80's) and I have seen them fetch for over $500.
