Dolls
Mattel produced a number of dolls based on the characters from the film.
- Two versions of Truly Scruptious appeared in 1969, as part of their
Barbie doll line. The dolls are 11 1/2in high, and both have the same
design head with blond hair brushed straight, blue eyes, and rooted rather
than painted eyelashes.
- #1107 - A talking Truly Scruptious, (made in Mexico) with undivided
fingers, bendable knees, dressed in a gown of pink & rose satin and black
net, with a fancy hat
- #1108 - the standard Truly Scruptious, (made in Japan) with straight legs
but divided fingers, dressed in a pale pink net and satin gown, also with a
fancy hat.
- A set of 4 dolls with turnable heads, and a toy car, as part of the
Liddle Kiddle range.
The 4 dolls are made of vinyl, with painted faetures and some synthetic
hair. The adult figures (Mr Potts and Truly Scruptious) are 2 1/4in
high, with the child figures (Jeremy and Jemima) just 1 1/4in high.
The car itself (which does not accomodate the dolls) is 4 1/2in long,
and came with an inflatable raft on which to float Chitty.

Mr Potts also appeared as a talking rag doll, catalog number #5235.
