I begged and pleaded for a Chatty Cathy doll but alas I never did get one. I went mad for a stylophone but didn't get one of those either.
I had some Klackers. They were brilliant!
Had a Sindy doll, just wasn't impressed when I wanted a Chatty Cathy.
Had an etch a sketch.
Couldn't play music on a flippin etch a sketch

I'm not sure but I think they came out about the same time as the first "Hot Wheels" sets, maybe about 1975?
