Betty Spaghetty was a bendable rubber doll from the Ohio Art Company.[1] She is portrayed as a fun-loving youth. She has two best friends named Zoe and Hannah and a younger sister. Her features include rubbery, pasta-like hair used to let children make different hairstyles and changeable hands, feet, shoes, etc. The doll was targeted at girls ages 4 and up. Some models came with accessories, such as a cell phone, a laptop computer, and in-line skates.[2]

History
editBetty Spaghetty was invented and designed by Elonne Dantzer[3][4] and licensed to The Ohio Art Co. and released in 1998. The doll was very popular during its launch, however the line was discontinued in 2004 due to Ohio Art's toy shipments falling to 15% due to weak retail markets and strong competition in the fashion doll market. But in 2007, Ohio Art announced that the dolls would return with a new look. The new Betty Spaghetty dolls were released later that year, but were discontinued a second time a year later due to lackluster sales. Moose Toys revealed at the 2016 Toy Fair that Betty Spaghetty would be sold as part of their brand in Fall 2016.[5]
