    I have both the Martha and a Cabbage Patch doll. My dolls are Black because that's who I am. Shame on that guy for stealing her idea!

    This was a really interesting and informative episode. Although it is a really sad story, it's good to know that, in the end, she enjoyed a happy life. Also, just wanted to say how festive Jah looked - loved his coat. Many thanks Jordan for introducing us to Martha Nelson Thomas's story.

    ✨Thanks for sharing Martha’s story! It’s always terrible when artists have their original ideas stolen. Jah looks adorable in his holiday sweater!🎄 ~Love&Light♥️C.

    I was a Cabbage Patch girl myself! My fave doll of all! Thanks for sharing her story. I didn't know this. It was all the craze in Tx. Every little girl wanted one.

    I did not know this. I have one of Xavier Robert's dolls & I paid $100 for her. She sits in the back of one of my closets. Had I known this I would have never bought "adopted" the doll. It was a very big deal here in Georgia & 2 friends of mine who are sisters had dozens of the dolls. I don't know what ever happened to them though. Great vlog Jordan. Thank you!

    I love Jah's little Christmas sweater. Sad story. But at least she made something for what she created. Turnabout is fair play with the guy that ripped her off. Thank you for telling her story. Nice to see Jah again. You, Jah, and Katie take care and be safe.

    I had three Cabbage Patch Dolls. One of them was named Fredricka. All this and mentioning the Garbage Pail kids is bringing the 80’s childhood memories back. 😆 Thanks for this video! I had no idea about this lady!

    What a great story! I did not know about her! I'm Georgia born and raised! My step daughter was so into these dolls! We would have to take this cabbage patch doll everywhere! My husband at the time took her to Baby General to watch them being born. People faught trying to get them at Christmas! It was a mess!(Georgia saying) Ty for the vlog Jordan! Great to see Jah all dressed in his Christmas sweater and you too! Take care and safe travels ❤️

    Wow! I never knew the story behind these dolls. Poor Martha was pretty much ripped off. Unfortunately there's a lot of stories like this where the original creators of famous products never got the proper compensation because of some greedy person or people. Thank you for giving this amazing lady the credit she deserves.

    Thanks. My Grandfather designed the first metal detector you see at entrances to banks and stuff for security. The ones you used to have to walk through. He sold the pattened (early 1900's) for not very much and look where it's gone today. I wish he could get credit for such a great idea.

    I remember hearing about her along with remembering the craze. My parents told me that Christmas I was not getting one. I was out of doll playing mostly (except for Barbie from time to time) but wanted one. A year later I graduated 8th grade and with my money I bought one. Then for my birthday I got another one. In the meantime my grandmother, who never had dolls growing up bought one. When my grandma died, I inherited hers so I now have three. They sit on my bed and people will ask me if they the Coleco ones and I say yes. There were several companies that put them out including Coleco (the brand that had them during the craze), Hasbro, Mattel and there was another company or two.

    One of many reasons I LOVE this channel & content! Learning stuff I had no idea about, especially with things associated with my childhood & youth.
    I was kid during the Cabbage Patch Kids crazy, my friends mother was one of many who were arrested for taking dolls OFF the truck before it could even reach the dock at K-Mart, and this happened all over! Even a poor woman’s being was ended after she was trampled. My cousins and friends had these will I had Pound Puppies and my Garbage Pail Kids collection, which I still have today, and in great shape. God I loved those cards and as strict as my parents were, and with my ADD, I was barely able to get them in the first place.
    But what a tragic story about the idea being stollen, I didn’t know any of this. I’m going to head over to eBay to see what these are going for today!

    Cleveland Georga, Jordan. It is close to Helen, the German village looking town and Dahlonega where the gold rush started. It is quite a touristy area, especially during Oktober Fest.

    I honestly never liked those dolls. I thought they were creepy looking. I actually had an idea for merchandise stolen back in 94 after my son was born. I wrote a letter to Harley Davidson about baby merchandise. They wrote me back and told me the idea of baby merchandise was not for the Harley Davidson brand but thanked me for submitting it to them. Now they have it. I got ripped off.
