It comes from the name of one of the first talking dolls. Her name was Chatty Cathy. So now we use the term to describe somebody who talks a lot.

Where can you find information about a German-speaking Chatty Cathy?

Unlike the stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny- which were English only- the Chatty Cathy dolls had interchangeable discs or tapes- multi-lingual. Here, indeed something educational from Toyland. The movement or action of the Chatty Cathy was thus more complex than the ( Bugs) and ( Mr. Ed) toys and puppets ( the talking horse was made in Puppet form). There were several language sets of Chatty Cathy phrases, it is a good thing, that like Paul and some other handles Catherine is a fairly cosmopolitan name! It is understood there was a Russian-speaking Catherine - that is Chatty Cathy- Katuskya- whatever the word for talkative or chatterbox - and these were sold in the Big City toy counters. There was a brief flurry of some Russian fashion items- particulairly the hats, both fore-and-aft and full round ( the older type, which date to Ivan the Terrible) as a fashion item. As there were two Czarinas named Catherine, the name choice was appropriate. It is not known if the Russian Chatty Cathy was supplied with Russian-style fashions, such as Russian hat, dolman or capelet ( worn over the trench coat in some cases) Trench coat , boots, etc. I have never seen a Russian- speaking Chatty Cathy, but the idea is charming an innocent. There was a German Cathy. Contact Mattel.


What was Chatty Kathy?

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?

How much did chatty Cathy dolls cost the year they were manufactured?

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.


What was the first doll to see and talk?

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!
