Okay fellow toy lovers, let's remember back to the mid 1960's. Mattel
put out at least 3 talking toys. They're names:

Biff the Bear
Lambie Pie
Chester Chimp

Each of these dolls had a repertoire of 6 or so things that they said.
Does anyone remember these? To help, I know of a few things Lambie Pie
said and almost all of Biff's sayings (my sister's broke only last
year.) I know one thing Chester Chimp said.

Lambie Pie:
"I'm your Lambie Pie, whose Lambie Pie are you?"
"Little Bo Peep lost her sheep, but it wasn't me."
"Sometimes I'm good, and sometimes I'm Baaaad."

Biff the Bear
"Hi, my name is Biff. I'm all bear."
"Look Bears can climb <crashing sound>...trees."
"Look a jar of honey <crashing sound>...oh boy."
"Wanna fight? No? That's good."
"Grrrrr. Being ferocious is exhausting."
"Hey let's look in here <sound of bees>...Yikes!"
He said at least one more thing that escapes my brain cells.

Chester Chimp
"I'm Chester Chimp. Diddly diddly diddly."

Finally, a question! What else did these animals say? It's driving
my sister and me to distraction. Were there any others in this series?
I know of the three because my grandparents gave each grand-daughter one.

Thank you so much, in advance...

Wasn't Chatty Cathy a Mattel talking toy from the 60's? I can't recall
anything that she said, but I am pretty sure she was from the 60's.

Janice, I remember Chatty Cathy too!!! But I also remember a lion, who used
to say something to the effect of ``Roar, I'm the King of the Jungle!''. Does
anybody else remember this lion?

Yep, she was - I still have mine. The only thing I remember her saying
was "Hi! My name's Chatty Cathy!". (I know she said other things, that's
the only one I remember). The string on mine is broken, every once in a
while, I think about getting it fixed, altho the sound box might be useless
after all this time.

Chatty Cathy said (among other things):

1. I love you
2. I hurt myself!
3. The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sums of the squares of the other sides.

(well, maybe not the last one)

That was Leo the Lion. One of the things he would say is "My name is Leo the
Lion. I'm the King of the Jungle! Rrrrooooaaaarrrr". I don't remember what elsehe said. He was an orangish-yellow with a big fluffy mane.
