In 1965, Skipper got two new friends: Skooter and Ricky. Skipper would appeal to little girls who wanted Barbie to have children, but Mattel made it her sister, being that Barbie would be too domesticated if she would be a mother at this time. In 1964, Skipper was made, along with Midge, to counteract that Barbie was a sex symbol. She likes making music on her wants to be a DJ, just like her friend Daisy. She is responsible, and often watches Chelsea and Stacie, so she decided to start a babysitting business. Her personality is still the tech-savvy sister, and she has an interest in creative photography that she posts on her blog website. In 2018, she is 14 with a purple streak in her hair. The Skipper doll as of 2012, seem to be about 14-17 years old with brown hair and a blue, red, or purple streak. The doll is not sold separately and can only be found in the Target gift set. This doll features the same height and body mold as the previous camping doll, with a forward glance.
In 2010, Target released an exclusive gift set for the Barbie "I Can Be." bride line, in which Skipper appeared as a bridesmaid along with Kelly, with Barbie and Ken as the bride and groom. She also shares the same body mold that many of the High School Musical dolls have. Another notable feature of the doll was her noticeable height decrease, which is more like the Skipper dolls from the late-80's and early-90's. She also sported blonde hair with purple highlights. She retained the same face mold as the later Skipper dolls, albeit with a side glance. In 2009, Skipper made a reappearance as part of a camping line of dolls. She wore a blue reproduction dress from 1965, known then as "Happy Birthday." In 2007, Mattel released their second vintage reproduction Skipper doll, this time sold in a gift set along with a reproduction of a vintage swirl ponytail Barbie doll. Instead of the usual vinyl, the dolls were made of porcelain. In 1994, the first vintage reproduction Skipper was produced specifically for collectors to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Skipper's introduction. She no longer looked like a child but more like a girl on the brink of becoming a woman, appearing to be 16 years old. Most notable of all, however, was Skipper's new face mold. This was mostly because of her legs, which were now long and lanky. She again had a new body mold and was now almost as tall as her sister Barbie. Dolls with the 'Pizza Party' Skipper head mold and the 1960s head mold are the most sought-after Skipper dolls by collectors.įinally, in 1997, Teen Skipper was introduced. Many collectors believe that the 'Pizza Party' head mold was the most popular version of Skipper, if not the prettiest. Later, Skipper had a new head mold with smaller eyes in a Pizza Party line, but with the same body mold. At this stage, she appeared to be somewhere between 13 to 15 years old. Her eyes were also enlarged, giving her a cartoon-like look. Her waist was more flexible, and her breasts were slightly bigger. Her new body mold was taller and more graceful. Skipper changed again in 1988 with the release of Teen Fun Skipper. In 1985, Hot Stuff Skipper was released, which had another new head mold that included dimples and a longer face. 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 1979, Skipper's entire appearance changed. When you swiveled the doll's arm, she grew small breasts on her rubber chest and grew taller in height. In 1975, Growing Up Skipper was released. She had a new look, much like the Living Skipper of 1970, but with fuller lips.

In 1971, apart of the Sun Set line of dolls, Skipper became Malibu Skipper with suntanned skin and twist 'n turn waist. Skipper was introduced as Barbie's first-ever family member in 1964. Skipper tends to be quiet and shy compared to her sisters, but she does have a sarcastic and funny side. Skipper also likes electronic music and DJing. She loves modern technology, and her recent dolls sometimes come with a tablet or phone. Skipper is the techno whiz of the sisters.
