However, Chatty Cathy was another doll that faced discontinuation due to changing consumer tastes and the emergence of new toy trends in the 1960s and 1970s. For one thing, the doll's string-pull mechanism became outdated compared to the electronic and interactive features of newer dolls.

Originally, Chatty Cathy had blonde hair in a short bobbed style and blue eyes. Brunette and auburn-haired versions of the doll were introduced in 1962 and 1963, respectively. An African-American version of the doll with a brown skin tone was also produced in 1962-63.
