Zapf Creation

Baby Born (introduced in 1991) is often considered to be the most lifelike of the series due to the numerous functions that the doll can perform. These include crying, urinating and being quietened by a pacifier which makes the doll's eyes shut in later versions. All these actions can be performed with no use of batteries which makes it possible to bathe the doll. The most recent version includes nine functions and eleven accessories. Earlier versions included a Musical Potty that makes various sound effects and a magical Ice Cream which can make the mouth of the doll all messy. Varieties of this model include boy, girl and ethnic girl, each anatomically correct and having its own color style for hair and skin.

• Pick Me Up!: A battery-operated doll that has touch sensors.
• Talking Baby Born: A trilingual and battery-operated doll that can speak three languages: English, Spanish and French.

My Little Baby Born are versions of the regular Baby Born doll. They work the same but instead are made for younger children.

• My Little Baby Born: A doll that doesn't have the functions that the bigger Baby Born does but is a good cheap alternative for young children. This is the original doll.
• I Can Swim: A battery-operated doll that has a special sensor. When it is in water, it can swim around.
• Splashing Baby: A doll that sits on the shallow water and will splash around when it does this. Splashing Baby can also move its head due to this.
• First Love: is a softer version of the regular My Little Baby Born doll.
• Hold My Hands: A lullaby-singing doll. The lullaby happens when pressing Hold My Hands' hands.
• Interactive Twins: Interactive Twins can interact with each other and are separate dolls.
• Bathing Fun/Bathing Baby: A softer version of the regular My Little Baby Born doll made for bathing.
• Nappy Time: A doll that can use the potty and kick its legs when feeling upset or happy.
• Walks: A battery-operated doll that walks and makes a number of sounds when its rattle is shaken. This doll, unlike other Zapf products, is made out of a hard plastic and functions itself more like a robot.

Baby Annabell (introduced in 1998) is perhaps the most famous of Zapf's products, Baby Annabell is a battery-operated doll that comes with a variety of accessories and has a large product line that includes extra articles, outfits, and pieces of furniture. Unlike Baby Born, Baby Annabell's body is made out of soft, plush-like material where the doll's battery box is stored in. The main function performed by the newer dolls (Version 3 or newer) is to let it drink water, and when it cries, the water can come out of its eyes which makes it look like the doll has tears, and also to use the toilet. This doll could perhaps be classed as a "modern autonomous doll". Older versions of the doll also would recognize sounds (eg, a Rattle) and will cry if any sound is heard when it is asleep.

Alike Baby Born, the doll comes in Girl, Brother and Ethnic girl versions.

• Version 1 (1998): The original model. Unlike later versions, this doll doesn't suck its bottle or pacifier when the doll uses it.
• Version 2 (2002): A version of the doll that is very similar to the "Rock A Bye Chou Chou" doll, except this doll can suck its bottle and pacifier and open and close its eyes while doing it. Annabell also has different sounds than Rock A Bye Chou Chou.
• Version 3 (2005): A more interactive doll than Version 1 or 2 and is the first version to cry real tears and drink real water.
• Version 4 (2007): A version of the doll that can turn its head when hearing sounds or if its name is said, but nonetheless performs the same actions as the previous versions. Annabell also makes some of the same neutral sounds as Version 3.
• Version 5 (2009): A version of the doll that removes the ability to turn its head, but can interact with a sheep toy that can make sounds and make the baby happy. Annabell has all new sounds but still does perform some of the sounds that Versions 3-4 use. This is the first version to come in a "Brother" variant, which features a brown-eyed doll with a blue outfit. This is also the first version to come in an "Ethnic Brother" variant.
• Version 6 (2011): A version of the doll that can move its arms and can react to the child's voice and various other sounds, but cannot drink water or cry real tears due to this. Annabell wasn't received very well by buyers due to it not being that interactive.
• Version 7 (2012): A version of the doll that goes back to be like Versions 3-5, likely due to the negative feedback of Version 6. Annabell can cry real tears and drink water again and has all new sounds. It however removes the ability for the doll to hear sounds that the previous versions offered.
• Version 8 (2013): Identical to Version 7. The only change is that it has some extra accessories.
• Version 9 (2014): Another identical doll to the previous two versions. The only change is that Annabell can be rocked to sleep. It has the same sounds as the previous models.
• Version 10 (2016): A doll that has the first major change since Version 7 because Annabell can wee in its potty and can wet its nappy. This version has a different face design than the previous dolls but makes the same sounds as the previous three versions.
• Version 11 (2019/2020): Similar to Version 10, but can now laugh when the belly button is pressed, which may make the doll fart, which makes it laugh more. It has new default sounds, but the remaining sounds are the same as the other versions. This is also the first version where the dolls all have separate personalities and names - Annabell for the Girl, Alexander for the Boy, and Leah for the Ethnic Girl.

This range of dolls are smaller versions of the Baby Annabell doll made for younger children.

• My First Baby Annabell: A doll that doesn't run on batteries nor have the features that the main doll has but is still a good alternative for younger children. This is the original doll.
• Time to Sleep: A doll that can be used to practice sleeping. Time To Sleep can sleep and close its eyes and, after a short while, wake up.
• Newborn: A squishy and softer version of the My First Baby Annabell made for younger children.

• Learns to Walk: A rerelease of the "Learn To Walk Chou Chou" doll under the Baby Annabell brand.
• Sister: A version of the doll that is the same size as the normal models but works more like the "My First Baby Annabell" doll.
• Milly Feels Better: A doll that works similar to the "Mommy Make Me Better Chou Chou" doll but is an all-new doll.
• Baby Fun: A doll that works like the bigger dolls but doesn't have the functions those models have.

Chou Chou is another doll manufactured by Zapf Creation designed to be very realistic, having accessories to support role playing for children. Chou Chou is sometimes used to teach young girls, in particular, about various stages of a baby's life including the first tooth and minor ailments, though most dolls are just played with.

Models include "Mommy Make Me Better" Chou Chou, "Love Me" Chou Chou, "Be Happy" Chou Chou, and "Rock-A-Bye" Chou Chou, which was named the number one doll in the Duracell Kids' Choice Toy Survey in the US in 2001.[5] This doll comes in a variety of types and has many lifelike functions.

• Mommy Make Me Better Chou Chou: A doll that comes in a yellow cap and baby girl outfit. This doll becomes unwell and the owner needs to make it better. The heartbeat can be heard and Chou Chou can be given medicine when it has a fever. Chou Chou makes sounds such as slurping.

Chou Chou can kick its legs when it is upset, open its mouth, cry, laugh, and make slurping sounds when given a drink.

Sam and Sally are quite large dolls at around 63 cm (25 in) each (similar to other dolls of their size), which means that they can either be dressed in the provided outfits or in real baby clothes of their size (0–3 months and 3–6 months fit the dolls).

Annabell Tween is a line of dolls come that in many versions, each wearing different outfits. These dolls are aimed toward older girls.
