Chatty Cathy ( C spelling used) was a classic series of toys made by Mattel, Inc commencing in the early sixties. the unique feature was the chatty-ring on the side of the doll ( or stuffed animal)- the concept was expanded to stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny, which this author had, and Mr. Ed ( puppet form) one pulled the chatty ring and let go- there was a random order of phrases. From what I understand, and true to type- what with Catherine II (The Great) there was a Russian-speaking version of Chatty Cathy ( girl doll) made with interchangeable tapes. Obviously she had Russian togs as well- the familiar Russian hat, possibly a muff, and boots, etc. I have not seen a Russkie Chatty Cathy but think it was a good idea in those turbulent times- why can"t we have a nice, friendly Russian doll?
The alf doll is from the 1960's so he is about 32 years old
Uneeda. She is called the Babes in Toyland Fairy Princess Doll.
The Ginny doll is a vinatage item which can only be obtained on line at sites like Ebay. The popularity of the doll stemmed from the fact that its clothing could be bought separately from the doll itself.
In the movie, Pollyanna grew up in the missionary and she said she wanted a doll, and her father asked for a second-hand doll, but when the missionary barrels came, they received a pair of crutches instead.
Chatty Cathy was a toy doll in the 1960's . It would talk and talk about nothing. My wife had one. It taught her how to chat about things of insignificance ...lol
There are many features of a Chatty Cathy doll that are available to those that buy one. The main features is the fact that it looks very similar to a real girl and it talks.

Prices varied., Mattel patented the chatty-ring assembly with a sort of gravity cord record-player ( not a tape player) in the body of the doll. The process was expanded to stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny and a puppet based on Mr. Ed the talking horse. They were quite expensive for the times. Chatty Cathy had interchangeable discs or record- that could be changed for different play settings- there were even foreign language variants= rumors there was a Russian disc! ( appropriate name- Catherine II, what not?) Both Chatty Cathy and the Chatty-ring ( later expanded to, as I have noted- stuffed animals in the early sixties were and are registered trademarks of Mattel, inc.
I don"t know about seeing, but Talking Dolls and toys became popular in the ealry Sixties. Mattel had a talking Bugs Bunny ( there were several size variations) around l962 Mr. Ed the talking Horse made the toyshop scene- also by Mattel . they used a Chatty Ring which actualted a friction spring driven phonograph, and presumably indexer as each phrase was different. The Chatty Ring was also used with Chatty Cathy. There were, as with the animal toys, considerable variations with the Chatty Cathy dolls including, a positive note here- even a Russian version with talk records in Russian, presumably a Russian costume with hat also. and why not- there are several variants on Catherine in Russkie- Katya, Katrina (not the storm) even Katrinka). She of All the Russias!

1 million dollars.
I do remember a Winky doll fad in 1960 (or thereabouts). I was living on an army base in Japan and went to the PX to buy the Winky doll--looooong line! It was black fabric with one eye winking and I think hooped ears. Terry
