FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to Zapf Creation’s service area. Here you can find answers to the questions which we are most frequently asked:
Where can I obtain Zapf Creation’s products?
You can obtain our products at all well-known department stores, at all
well-stocked specialist toy stores, at major out-of-town stores with a
toy department and from online providers and forwarding agents.
Can you tell me the retail sales price?
If you would like to know how much a product from Zapf Creation costs
to buy in the shops, we recommend that you make enquiries directly with
the shops concerned. All we can do is provide you with a recommended
sales price, but this is not binding.
Can I as a consumer also order products directly from Zapf Creation?
It is not possible to order products via our website or by another
route directly from Zapf Creation because we only sell our toys
commercially on the market.
Where can I obtain the latest product catalogue?
You can order Zapf Creation’s latest product catalogue directly from our consumer service department
here.
Does Zapf Creation offer a repair service? Where can I send
“poorly” baby dolls, how long does a repair take and what does it cost?
Yes, Zapf Creation does offer a repair service. You can send the
“poorly” baby doll together with a description of the defect to Zapf
Creation AG, Puppenklinik, Mönchrödener Str. 8 in 96472 Rödental.
Please frank the package with an adequate level of postage. If it
transpires that the defect is covered by guarantee or is the fault of
the manufacturer, the postage costs incurred will be compensated in the
form of a small present. Repairs generally take 2 – 3 weeks, but in the
period before and after Christmas you must expect them to take 5 – 6
weeks. The level of the repair costs is governed by the nature and
extent of the repair needed. However, you will be notified of the costs
in advance by telephone and you can decide whether or not the repair
should be carried out.
Can I order replacement parts for a product from Zapf Creation?
If certain parts of a product are defective, you can direct your query
to the consumer service department on the telephone number
09563-725588.
How can I clean a dirty material body?
You can gently rub dirty material bodies with a damp, lukewarm sponge
and a small amount of mild detergent and then dry them off with a terry
towel.
BABY born®
What is the difference between the old and the New BABY born®?
1)
The advantage of the New BABY born® is that the doll can also be taken
into the bathtub, the swimming pool or the sea for swimming. So girls
can continue playing with the New BABY born® without the interruption
(which was previously required) of drying the doll. This has been made
possible because the joints between the flexible parts (head, arms and
legs) and the body of the new BABY born® have been made waterproof and
yet they remain as flexible as they were previously. In addition, the
eyes, mouth and the outlet opening have likewise been made waterproof.
2) The other 7 functions are exactly the same as before: BABY born® is
able to drink, soil its nappies, eat, use its potty, cry, squeal and is
completely flexible. In addition, the New BABY born® can now also sit
on its own.
CHOU CHOU
Love me CHOU CHOU
How does Love me CHOU CHOU enter the sleep mode?
The
doll can only enter the sleep mode if it is in the “Automatic
random-principle play sequence”. (Also see the instructions for use: 2.
Automatic play sequence of the doll with the random principle.)
In this play sequence, the child mothering the doll must discover,
among other things, why Love me CHOU CHOU is crying. The doll can then
be comforted again either with the bottle, the dummy or the little bear
security blanket.
Love me CHOU CHOU is only able to enter the sleep mode if it reacts to
the little bear security blanket. If the child mothering the doll
places the head of the little bear on the blanket on the appliqué of
the playsuit, Love me CHOU CHOU begins to laugh with delight. The
random principle means that it is possible that Love me CHOU CHOU may
become tired and yawn. This is where the sleep mode begins. The dummy
must now be pushed firmly into the mouth until a sucking noise can be
heard. Love me CHOU CHOU then falls asleep.
How can I clean Love me CHOU CHOU’s face?
Love me CHOU CHOU’s
facial skin is made using the new, innovative material TPE (Thermal
Plastic Elastomer). The material is softer than PVC and therefore feels
particularly natural. Its high degree of elasticity also means that the
facial movements appear very realistic and Love me CHOU CHOU can even
express different “feelings”. These material characteristics mean that
the doll’s face is also more sensitive. We therefore recommend that
Love me CHOU CHOU’s face be cleaned gently with a lint-free cloth,
lukewarm water and a mild hand soap. Then wipe down the face with clear
water and dry it off. It is very important that you use a lint-free
cloth and in the process do not rub or press on too hard!
My Model
Can my child also use the make-up of My Model for itself?
As
a brand manufacturer, our primary concern is to provide quality
products with no flaws. In order to ensure that this is the case, we
have our entire range of products tested and certified by authorised
institutes in accordance with the European toy standard (EN71). In
addition, all My Model products conform to the European cosmetics
regulations and girls can thus quite safely also use them for
themselves.
