Each Cabbage Patch Kid doll is unique — and so is the $12.75 million Fort Lauderdale mansion of their manufacturer.
Searching for an even larger abode, toy manufacturer Michael Rinzler is has put his 6,349-square-foot mansion up for sale, The Post can exclusively reveal.
“With the well-designed spaces, tranquil vibes and prime waterfront location, I have no doubt this home will attract multiple offers,” listing broker Chad Carroll of Compass told The Post.
The toymaker purchased the five-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom home for $6.25 million in December 2019, two months after a larger company acquired his Wicked Cool Toys company in October 2019.
He was co-founder and co-president of Wicked Cool Toys, which started making Pokémon toys in 2017 and became the “master toy partner” for the Cabbage Patch Kids in a 2015 agreement.
He is now executive vice president, partner and co-president at the company that acquired Wicked Cool Toys, Jazwares LLC., which makes Roblox, Squishmallows, Nerf, UFC, Peppa Pig, Fortnite and Halo toys, in addition to Cabbage Patch Kids (which now makes a JoJo Siwa doll) and Pokémon toys, according to Jazwares’ website.
Contrasting his colorful profession, the 2018 home is contemporary with black, grey and white accents. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, iron railings and minimalist light fixtures.
He’s not the first creative to prefer a minimalist home design, although another Cabbage Patch mogul marketed his New York City penthouse with a more colorful design this spring.
Inside, there are two beamed-ceiling living rooms, a dining room and two offices — one of which has a pop of color that can’t be missed. Shelves are filled with action figures, plush toys and games in the listing photo.
The kitchen has a large marble island, an industrial hood, dual ovens, black-and-white accent tiles and a breakfast nook.
“The water-facing kitchen with an entertainment island is easily one of the best spaces in the home,” said Carroll.
Amenities include a club room, a loft, an elevator, a gym and a movie theatre, said Carroll.
“This property has everything you need to enjoy the ultimate South Florida lifestyle,” said Carroll.
The 0.29-acre lot has a heated saltwater pool, summer kitchen with bar and a dock to park your boat, said Carroll.
Toymakers including Hasbro, Mattel, Toys “R” Us and now Jazwares have mass-produced less expensive versions of the toy since it was first invented in 1982 and rose to riot-worthy popularity in 1983.
But the brand still creates its pricey hand-stitched dolls at a visitor-friendly “hospital” in Cleveland, Georgia called Babyland General, where buyers can watch dolls being made and receive a “birth certificate” and “adoption papers” for their dolls.
