Toy Story 3 revival for the classic Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone

With the release of the new Toy Story 3 film Disney/Pixar also launched a new line of toys for kids. The new Toy Story 3 branded Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone is another slight redesign of the 1961 version which has already seen numerous iterations throughout the years. Possibly the biggest difference with the new toy is that it runs on AA batteries, and it allows you to “dial” Toy Story 3 characters Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Rex.

It was surprisingly difficult to find a good photo online of an original 1961 model of the Chatter Telephone. The photograph above is from Collectique’s Etsy page.

I used to have one of these.
