Cabbage Patch Kids were created by Xavier Roberts, an art student at Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland. After producing his first soft-sculpture doll in 1977, Roberts joined forces with the toy company Coleco in 1983 to market the dolls. By 1990 around 65 million Cabbage Patch Kids had been sold.
