So modest, in fact, no brassiere was included. Changing Skipper simply involves grasping her delicate wrist between the forefinger and thumb and revolving her left arm all the way around counterclockwise.Īs the arm completes its 360-degree turn, Skipper grows nearly an inch taller from the waist, develops a slightly more definable posterior, and sprouts what Rubenstein calls “a modest bustline.” “We feel it may be a trend toward reflecting reality and recognizing maturity,” Joel K Rubenstein, director of marketing for Mattel explained. Officials at Mattel Toys, which manufactures the dolls, say they recognize the doll could activate a lot of curiosity in the 4-to 10-year-olds for whom it is designed, but they believe the Growing-Up Skipper has some good effects. Now, with her flat chest expanded, her curves accentuated and height boosted, she has matured past her older but still underdeveloped sister into a young woman.
By rotating Skipper’s left arm, her rubber chest would inflate and her torso would lengthen. Then, in 1975, Mattel decided to let Skipper hit puberty growing breasts and an inch taller. Like Barbies fashions, Skippers outfits were made in a very good quality with many details and came with lots of small items like flower bouquets, handbags, gloves, socks, caps, jumping ropes, yo-yos, birthday cakes and candles, etc. Later on in the 60s, Mattel designed a wardrobe just for her. However, the first outfits created for her match some of the early Barbie outfits. The smaller, under-developed younger “sister” of the Barbie doll has advanced into puberty. For those who don’t know, Mattel introduced Skipper as Barbie’s kid sister in 1964. Skipper was smaller than Barbie and needed her own wardrobe. Now there’s a harmless way to reverse the aging process, as often and as quickly as they want.Ī little arm twisting will change a blossoming young woman into a tree-climbing pre-adolescent, and back again - provided the young “woman” is a doll.
