Where Collectibles Are FUN & AFFORDABLE

Chatty Cathy is one of the most beloved dolls for the baby boomer. She talked and had a personality to match the best of the dolls. Today she is found in fewer and fewer conditions that are acceptable to the vintage collector. Many people will find her mute and without her chatty ring.

Restoring Chatty is an investment. Should you wish to do it, I recommend you search any of OOAK re-root doll sellers on ebay or just search restore dolls.I have a friend who is fabulous at restoring doll paint, eyes, hair and fixing up that Chatty and others to be as cute if not cuter than the original doll.

Written a few years back, my review on leaving your Chatty mute has made me one of the top 5000 reviewers in Ebay. I am very proud to have helped many people decide to repair or not to repair the Chatty Cathy doll without professional help. Right Click here for that review link and open it in a new tab. I for one ruined my doll and even though her head is back on, I had to glue the doll's neck flange and it no longer will allow the head to turn. The flange is extremely fragile. Over the years the plastic hardens and does not give in the process of removing the head. It will tear with too much heat applied and it will crack if there is not enough.

Even professionals will tell you there is no guarantee that your Chatty will restore to her original condition. See if you want to take that chance for a restored record player in Chatty's body and it will run you between $35 -$75 without shipping the doll to and from the doll doctor. 

And while we are on that subject....
