Two of these dolls are reproduction. I was a designer at Mattel in the mid-90s, when we released several versions of the original doll- the blonde with the blue dress, and brunette with the red dress. Unfortunately, something wretched happened to the repro doll's eyes, and they've turned ghastly red and pink. Have no idea why!
The one in the red overalls is an original Chatty from 1961. (Her outfit is not original to her, but is vintage.)
They are cute, though, aren't they?
Love your Chatty Cathy. I wish I still had mind. As far as your dolls eyes turning red and pink, I'll leave that up to Mani the doll expert to help you on that.
Hi, Stefdesign. Love the Chatty Cathy dolls!!!
I do not know how to e-mail - so am using this way to reach you.
I updated the pictures and added the research to date on the RED CROSS pin.
Thank you for your interest - it is greatly appreciated
