It's fun to remember toys we grew up with. So much fun, very enjoyable to point out all the toys we had. The reason I did 8/10 is because they kept speaking "woke" with gender toys. When inwas a kid, if I wanted to play with a toy that was made for boys then I played with them and didn't preach about it. Keep your politics to yourself and let us enjoy the memories.

Cabbage Patch Kids error
judacia18 December 2023
The producers of this program failed to point out that the original creator of the Cabbage Patch Kids was not Xavier Roberts. Instead, the original creator was a craft artist named Martha Nelson, and the original name for the toys was Doll Babies, which Xavier renamed as Little People. Later on, designer and licensing agent Roger L. Schlaifer renamed them as Cabbage Patch Kids. Though Xavier Roberts originated the look of Little People, many of Little People's defining characteristics (such as the dolls' overly round faces and that they came with an adoption certificate) were taken from Martha Nelson Thomas, an American folk artist from Kentucky. Before Roberts became involved in the toy industry, Thomas had created and marketed her own line of dolls, called Doll Babies, which she sold at local arts and craft shows and markets. Roberts began purchasing Thomas' dolls in 1976 to sell at a profit at his own store in Georgia. Thomas later stopped selling additional dolls to Roberts, prompting him to turn to a manufacturing company in Hong Kong to mass produce dolls similar in appearance to Thomas' at a cheaper cost. Thomas brought suit against Roberts and eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount in 1985. She and her husband, Tucker Thomas, told the press that she was more upset by the corruption of her dolls, for which she cared deeply, than the money she'd lost as the result of Roberts' actions.
