    that origin involving magical crystals in a cave in rural georgia makes me highly question what sort of "crystals" they were enjoying to make such an acid trip so incredibly marketable. I have older sisters and was born in the early 1980's. As a boy, it made me laugh as I was used as a live variant in awkward adventures. What is even funnier is that I eventually became a registered nurse who worked in trauma! 😂

    I know Xavier stole Martha’s idea but his kids looked cuter imo and at least mass marketing them to coleco mean the world could literally enjoy them. If Xavier never mass produced then they would’ve been exclusive to only the small towns people Martha originally made them for and I still have mine 37 years later.

    He's also a narcissist and a manchild, between the fact that he put his own signature on all the dolls and they had to appease him by including him in the cabbage patch origin story...

    She should have received a percentage of all the profits he’d made by that point, and continued royalty payments per doll sold from then on out. What a really gross thief! The fact his greed couldn’t even contain him from the start to sell them for no more than $30 upon their agreement is so pathetic. He didn’t even put in any work on them!

    He was a business man, not a theif. She did not have a patent on the doll so he moved in and legally manufactured them. I feel sorry for her but it's business.

    Technically, Xavier didn’t steal Martha’s idea. He made his own version on it that was a bit more fleshed out with a story. You can’t steal an art form like soft sculpting. If all art forms were protected by law, hardly anything would be made.
