| Original 1964 version of Skipper |
Five years after the Barbie doll was released in 1959, Mattel decided to provide her with a family member in the form of a sibling named Skipper. Skipper originally was much shorter than Barbie and was clearly a young prepubescent girl. Apparently, however, Skipper was not sexy enough, and in 1975, Mattel came out with its bizarre "Growing Up Skipper" fashion doll. If you twirled Skipper's left arm, she would gain an inch in height and would magically pop out a pair of breasts.
It turned out that watching dolls go through puberty was a passing fad, and "Growing Up Skipper" was quickly discontinued and relegated to the ash pit of history and the back alleys of Ebay. However, Skipper never again regained her little girl status, and the modern static version is about the same height and is as equally well-endowed as her more famous older sister.
