I bought my wife one for Christmas last year. She had one as a kid and always wished her mother hadn't given it away.
As a side note, one of her friends was the inspiration for the name Chatty Cathy. I can tell you it is still an appropriate name.

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
Chatty Cathy was around when I was a kid but we could never afford one.
One year when I was in the 4th grade my dad had 2 heart attacks in the fall of that year. My mom told us not to expect things for Christmas that year because there was NO money.
Somehow a church outside of our town found out about us. They showed up with gifts and food. LOTS of gifts and food. All I had really hoped for that year was a Barbie. turns out I got Barbie, Midge, Skipper and Ken and tons of clothes. Then my grandpa made us a doll house that we could literally sit in ourselves. It was huge! And he made furniture for it. I still have the couch. He also made child sized furniture for all of us. He had gotten a great deal on naugahide, so everything was covered in that stuff. I still have the couch and chair from that set sitting in my family room even today. The kids use it every day and it is as solid today as it was the day he built it. Then he took all these scrap pieces of wood, sanded them, painted them and filled 50 lb. onion sacks with them. And those were our blocks to play with.
Turns out it was our best Christmas ever!

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
Soooo, I'm not the only Chatty Cathy fan! One of seven children, it seems there was always a baby in the house and always a jack-in-the-box with the familiar tune, "All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel..."

I had one of those!  Two of them actually. There were three of us kids, so we had to share the two of them. My little brother was the roughest on his bike, and eventually started stealing parts off the nicer bike that my sister and I rode mostly.
I remember when I was 12 I wanted to be a dirt bike racer! Vvroom...Vvvrrrooomm!

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
Banana Seat Bikes!
I remember I had myself and two other friends "piggybacking" on the bike.
I got my foot caught in the spokes!
Don't ask! Yes it hurt, but we had fun!
