- Cabbage Patch Kids dolls were disappearing from shelves in San Diego and across the country ahead of Christmas 1983. News 8's Liz Pursell reported on the phenomenon in late November.
Footage from stores around the United States showed toy shoppers fighting, crying and stampeding for the dolls with the signature yarn hair.
San Diego stores didn't have any riots over the toys but were sold out and had to disappoint callers and visitors to their shops. The toymaker Coleco was trying to increase production but no new dolls were expected until 1984.
Cabbage patch kids are still around today. 😀👍
