hasbro took over the rights to produce cabbage patch dolls in 1988 after coleco filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, and continued to make the dolls with various gimmicks, including dolls that played kazoos. some of the more popular doll lines to come out under the cabbage patch kids name included the "birthday kids", "splash 'n' tan kids", and "pretty crimp and curl". hasbro gradually began making the dolls for younger children, which led to smaller and smaller dolls. although cabbage patch dolls were still best selling toys, hasbro never really revitalized the cabbage patch market. in 1994, mattel acquired the licensing rights to the dolls from original appalachian artworks.
