Discover the roots of a global phenomenon with this authentic 1978 "The Little People" soft sculpture doll. Before they were Cabbage Patch Kids, these one-of-a-kind treasures were individually needle-sculpted and "adopted" at the original BabyLand General Hospital in Georgia.
This collector’s item is a true Artist Original, featuring the rare and highly coveted handwritten signature of creator Xavier Roberts on the buttocks. Unlike later mass-produced versions, this doll is entirely soft-bodied from head to toe, with a hand-stitched cloth face that gives it a unique, soulful character.
Product Details:
  • Series: The Little People (Pre-Cabbage Patch Kids)
  • Artist: Hand-Signed by Xavier Roberts
  • Year: 1978
  • Construction: Handmade soft sculpture, all-cloth body and face
  • Condition: Vintage (Doll only, no shoes/papers). [Your Condition Notes Here - e.g., "Clean fabric with minor age-related wear."]
Collector's Note:
Hand-signed originals from the late '70s are increasingly difficult to find. This doll is perfect for serious Cabbage Patch enthusiasts or collectors of American folk-art toys.
