Every doll also came with a signature on its rear end â that of Xavier Roberts, the manufacturer and supposed creator of the Cabbage Patch Kids. But a new Vice mini-documentary, âThe Secret History of the Cabbage Patch Kids,â reveals that the dolls were actually invented by artist Martha Nelson Thomas, who died of ovarian cancer in 2013. According to the 16-minute doc, which is part of Viceâs American Obsessions series, Roberts stole the idea after coming across Nelson Thomasâs dolls at a fair, and eventually turned them into a $2 billion franchise.
The Cabbage Patch Kids were originally called Little People and were completely handmade, unlike the Cabbage Patch Kids we know today, â¦ 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.
