1978 - Cabbage Patch Kids: Little People Soft Sculpture Doll Xavier Roberts

This is where it all began. Handcrafted in 1978, this soft sculpture doll from Xavier Roberts’ original “Little People” line predates the Cabbage Patch craze and was only sold at arts and crafts fairs and BabyLand General Hospital. Each doll was uniquely signed and individually created, making this a true holy grail for collectors. Featuring the classic soft sculpted face, yarn hair, and hand-stitched details, this pre-adoption era gem is pure vintage magic. No box, no clones—just one of the earliest cabbage patch originals to ever sprout.
