Did the Cabbage Patch Kids just get Wicked Cool?

Oh yes, they did.

I received my first CABBAGE PATCH KID back in 1984 – the result of my parents not paying scalpers for one during the mad craze of 1983. I still have him – his name is Ollie – and he’s now a happy cousin to many other Cabbage Patch Kids here at Rock Father HQ, those owned by my daughters, and even one known as “Baby Boy“ that was owned by my late friend, Justin Mentell. The dolls created by Xavier Roberts have had an interesting history, having been produced over the past 30+ years by Coleco, Hasbro, Mattel, Toys “R” Us, Play Along Toys, JAKKS Pacific… and now, Wicked Cool Toys. Just ahead of New York Toy Fair, the folks at Wicked Cool have officially been named the new master toymaker for the Cabbage Patch Kids brand – and I’ve got a sneak peek!

“Cabbage Patch Kids become friends for life. I have confidence Wicked Cool Toys will expand their footprint taking them to new and exotic locations and I’m excited to see their vision expressed through our Cabbage Patch Kids for millions of current and future fans.”Xavier Roberts
