Zapf Creation is a toy company based in Coburg, Germany which specialises in dolls for girls. Its franchises have become very popular around the world; among its successes are Baby Born and Anabell.
Products
Most of the ZC products are baby and toddler dolls, occasionally used to teach future parents lifeskills.
Baby Born
Baby Born is often considered to be the most lifelike of the series due to the numerous functions that the doll can perform which include Crying, Urinating and a pacifier which makes the dolls eyes shut in later versions, all of which can be performed without batteries making them safe to bathe. The most recent version includes 9 Functions and 10 accessories including a musical potty chair and designer bottle. Varieties include boy, girl and ethnic girl, each anatomically correct and having their own color style.
Baby Annabell
Perhaps the most famous of Zapf's products, this doll comes with a variety of accessories and has a large product line which includes extra bits and bobs, outfits and furniture pieces. The main function of the newer dolls is to take a sip of water and then have the ability to shed tears when crying.
Baby Chou Chou
Baby Chou Chou (doll) is sometimes used to teach young girls in particular about various stages of a baby's life including her first tooth and minor colds, though most are intended just for playing with.
Sam and Sally
Similar to other dolls of their size out today, Sam and Sally are quite large dolls at around 60 cm each which means that they can either be dressed in the provided outfits or be dressed in real clothes of their size.
