Skipper Roberts was a doll created by Mattel in 1964 to be Barbie’s younger sister, as well as to oppose controversies directed at Barbie. Since Skipper was introduced, she has changed immensely. When she first came out, she was 9.25 inches in height (compared to Barbie’s 11.5 inches), and then as newer versions were released, she gradually became taller with an older appearance, eventually turning out to be as tall as Barbie. At first, Skipper was available with three different hair colors, but is currently only available with her hair-colored black and purple. Usually, Skipper dolls had blue eyes.
1964 was also the ‘first’ year that Barbie, Ken, and Skipper dolls were on the whole European market, contain some countries in December 1963.

Biography
According to the Random House novels of the 1960s, Skipper Roberts is the second oldest child of the fictional George and Margaret Roberts of Willows, Wisconsin, their first child said to be Barbie. In these novels, she attended Baker Elementary, while the Marvel Comics of the early 1990s had her at Central Junior High School. The box of the first Kevin doll, Skipper’s second boyfriend, which was sold, “Cool Tops Kevin” described Skipper as “the most popular girl in school”.
Like her sister Barbie, she has had numerous “acquaintances“, celebrity friends, fantasy friends, and Disney friends that were produced at her size.
Some of these other dolls include Chocho, sold only in Japan in 1974, made with the Quick Curl Skipper body.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, introduced in 2000, made with the Teen Fun Skipper body.
The Peppermint Rose dolls from 1993, also made with the Skipper Teen Fun body.
The 1994 and 1997 Flying Tinker Bell Doll Euro Disney Peter Pan, also made with the Skipper Teen Fun body.
Numerous versions of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, sold in either the Skipper Teen Fun or Teen versions.
The Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses line sold two dolls named Isla and Hadley who were the size of Teen Fun Skipper dolls, but with a new appropriately sized “belly-button” body.
Now Skipper is younger than Barbie for two years, 3 Months and 4 days, making June 13 her birthday. She must be 14 years old.
**************************************************************************
1963–1974 ~ Skipper Dolls Vintage and Mode Period.
Skipper was created, along with Midge, to counteract criticism that claimed Barbie was a sex symbol. Midge’s facial appearance was gentler than Barbie’s, whereas Skipper was a response to requests that wanted Barbie to have children; however, instead of having a married, pregnant Barbie, which would make her too domestic, Barbie would babysit Skipper. As Barbie’s little sister, Skipper was Barbie’s first family member sold. Since their introduction in 1964, Skipper dolls have changed drastically.

1963
1963 – 1971 #0950 Skipper™ straight non bending legs:
- #0950 Straight-Leg Prototype Skipper Doll.
The very first Skippers ever made were called “Sample Skippers”, “Prototype Skippers” or “Test Skippers”. They were given to Mattel employees, but I don’t think these test Skippers were ever offered for sale to the public. If they were, it was for a very brief time.
Here is the difference between the prototype and regular issue Skipper. Notice the prototype Skipper has larger eyes, a little longer neck, more vibrant facial paint, and a little fuller and more mature looking face. She has two rows of bangs, where the regular issue has only one row. The prototype also has thicker, fluffier hair than most regular issue Skippers. They are found in blonde, brunette, titian and some had two-tone color hair.
This prototype has two tone hair, so it is very thick. Hair that is long, thick, soft, shiny and ‘sways’ in place. There are two rows of bangs (see picture), which is correct for a Sample doll.
Complexion is creamy and well matched with the body. It is marked (SKIPPER/1963/Mattel Inc.) on the right hip, which is correct for Sample Skippers. She has a little wider stance than regular issue Skippers (as a Sample doll should).
Also, on the bottom of the foot, the prototype has “Japan” scratched into the foot and goes from toe to heel (the length of the foot). The regular issue has the Japan written from toe to toe (the width of the foot) and is written in raised letters, not carved in, like the prototypes.
This is another definite difference between Sample dolls and regular issues.

1975 – Present ~ Skipper dolls – Modern:
In 1975 Growing Up Skipper was released. The gimmick of the doll, which led to much controversy in the newspapers, was that if Skipper’s arm were rotated, the doll would become an inch taller and small breasts would appear on her rubber torso. In 1979 Skipper’s entire appearance changed. She was advertised as “Super Teen Skipper”. She had a new body mold which included small, permanent breasts, and a different head mold that made her look slightly older. In 1985 Hot Stuff Skipper was released, which had another new head mold that included the addition of dimples and a longer face.
Skipper changed again in 1988 with the release of Teen Fun Skipper. Her new body mold was taller and more graceful. Her waist was more flexible, and her breasts were slightly bigger. Her eyes were also enlarged, giving her a cartoon-like look. At this stage she was somewhere between 13 to 15 years old. Later, Skipper had a new head mold with smaller eyes in a Pizza Party line, but with the same body mold. Many collectors believe that the “Pizza Party” head mold was the most popular, if not the prettiest, version of Skipper. Dolls with the “Pizza Party” Skipper head mold or the 1960s head mold are the most sought-after Skipper dolls by collectors.
Finally, in 1997, Teen Skipper was introduced. She again had a new body mold and was now almost as tall as her sister Barbie. This was mostly because of her legs, which were now long and lanky. Most notable of all, however, was Skipper’s new face mold. She no longer looked like a child, but more like a girl on the brink of becoming a woman, appearing to be about 14 years of age. Skipper and Barbie now are teenagers. They are close to each other’s age. Skipper also had larger breasts which continued the controversy over her sexualization that has dogged Skipper in the past.

Skipper FRIENDS
(For the pictures click on the links)Skipper’s friends at the vintage stage were Skooter (1965), Ricky (1965), Living Fluff (1971), and Pose N’ Play Tiff (1972). Skooter and Ricky had their own head molds, and both had freckles. Skooter was available with the same three hair colors as Skipper had, but Ricky was only available with molded red hair, similar to Midge’s boyfriend, Allan Sherwood. Fluff and Tiff shared a head mold which many collectors considered adorable, with a contagious smile. Most of Skipper’s first friends were never seen after the lines they were produced for, but another Skooter doll, called Fun Time Skooter, was produced for the European market. She had auburn hair, a Twist N’ Turn waist, and bendable legs. However, she had the head mold of the oldest version of Skipper, not the older Skooter doll, which many collectors found strange.
Skipper’s friend for the controveral Growing Up line was the brunette Ginger, made in 1976. However, after this line, Ginger was never seen again. Skipper’s first boyfriend, Scott, was created in 1980, and was introduced the year after Super Teen Skipper came on the market. Scott sported puffy, brown 1980s-style hair. Skipper gained two new friends after Teen Fun Skipper was first introduced. They included the brunette Courtney, made in 1989, and her second boyfriend Kevin, created in 1990.
After Teen Skipper came on the market, her first African American friend appeared. Her name was Nikki, and she was made in 1997. Teen Skipper was originally going to have a third boyfriend, Zach, who would have joined her in the “Totally Yo Yo” line, but for reasons unknown, he was never produced. Parents speculate that Zach would be too much of a sexual influence on Skipper and children. However, the head mold for the unreleased Zach Doll was later used for Generation Girl Blaine, the token boy in Barbie’s “Generation Girl” Doll line.
In 2021 they made a boy the same age as Skipper, but no first name has been mentioned yet and only that he is part of the Barbie Skipper Babysitter Serie.

What a lovely and informative site! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you and you are more then welcome!
This site is wonderful and has been very helpful to me as a collector (I have been collecting for 35 years). I have had difficulty identifying newer Skippers that I buy nude, so this site is tremendously useful. Thank you.
Thank you!! I am very happy that my blog has your help. Good luck with your collection.
Can you please add the heights of the dolls? There are different heights for the different Skipper dolls.
Thank you for your question. You are right that the skipper changed over the years, seven times in size. I will come back to this with a new blog.
See my new blog:
1964 – 2015 The big changes of the Skipper Doll. https://barbielistholland.wordpress.com/2015/04/18/the-big-changes-of-the-skipper-doll-was-her-size/
Thank you. you don’t say much about when teeth started appearing on skipper faces. It looks to me like it was the late 1990s for US distributed Skipper dolls. Powerful site. Information is knowledge. Love it.
Thank you very much for further information and your compliments.
Thank you so much for this post!
Nice to read that you appreciate my post!
Why did they change Skippers hair color so much?
