Hers look more purple though,and she's the brown eyed version. She hasn't been in the sun either. Just poor quality eyes!Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947247063997873288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842699720560061705.post-41621125248171715392018-07-28T07:56:20.510-07:002018-07-28T07:56:20.510-07:00That’s just an awful experience, and I feel your p...That’s just an awful experience, and I feel your pain.

So pulled out all my dolls to find favorites for display. Repo with PINK eyes. Looks like something between a zombie and an albino white bunny rabbit. Yuck! So much for quality! My vintage ones eyes are all fine. So ended up creating a “Frankenstein” doll using best of the parts. Not gonna sell it, so who cares. Took clothes and voice box from psycho repo doll added longest haired brunette I had. She looks good. Wish I could attach a pic. 😔Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735770368023880870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842699720560061705.post-26516705992286376012017-02-12T15:39:17.592-08:002017-02-12T15:39:17.592-08:00I am cleaning out my storage unit, and found my re...I am cleaning out my storage unit, and found my reproduction Chatty Cathy yesterday. I took her home to dust her off and clean her up and realized that her left eye is completely pink and the right eye is still partially blue, but turning pink. How awful!! I looked on here to make sure this wasn't just happening to me. I am surprised that Mattel would allow something like this to happen and not do anything about it.

(You have to remove the head and take the eyes out that way- it's possible to heat the head to soften the plastic, then pop them out the front. I don't know if that will work here. Replacement eyes can be ordered online.Stefanie Eskanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617748439244008688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842699720560061705.post-27171612269618246622014-04-21T07:39:26.327-07:002014-04-21T07:39:26.327-07:00Mine too!!!

Christmas 1960 I opened my Chatty Cathy, pulled her string, fell in love, pulled the string again, saw a pocket knife cut the string!!!!! Looked up to see my grandfather had done this terrible deed and he said "dolls shouldn't talk"...... Now 54 years later my replacement doll that I planned to pass on to my 5 yr old granddaughter looks demonic. Can anything be done?
