The Cabbage Patch Kids brand of products originally started as Little People, created by Xavier Roberts (a guy) and four women. Name changed to Cabbage Patch Kids Xavier Roberts when it was bought by Coleco. The story is... a ten-year-old boy discovered the Cabbage Patch Kids by following a BunnyBee behind a waterfall into a magical valley. To keep them from falling into the clutches of the evil Lavendar McDade (and being enslaved in her gold mine), he sought to get them adopted into the homes of loving families outside of Mount Yonah. At the peak of their popularity the dolls were a must-have toy for Christmas. Parents across the United States flocked to stores to try to obtain one of the Cabbage Patch Kids for their children, with fights occasionally erupting between parents over the hard-to-find dolls. In later years, Mattel introduced variants on the original Cabbage Patch Kids, and derivatives of the original line of dolls continued to be marketed today.
