===Hasbro years=== [[Hasbro]] took over the rights to produce Cabbage Patch dolls in 1988 after Coleco filed for [[Chapter 11]] bankruptcy,<ref name=coleco-chapter11>{{cite news|title= Cabbage Patch Doll Maker Is Bankrupt |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=1988-07-12|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-07-12-mn-5746-story.html|access-date=2013-11-12}}</ref> and continued to make the dolls with various gimmicks, including dolls that played [[kazoo]]s. 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 produced a 10th anniversary doll, reintroducing Schlaifer's original packaging β a practice that other CPK doll manufacturers would do to give sales a boost on various anniversaries. Hasbro gradually began making the dolls for younger children, which led to smaller and smaller dolls.
