Spinoff to gifts you never got as a child

All that talk about barbies got me thinking...does anyone remember "growing up skipper"?

Barbie's little sister who grew taller and grew bbs when you twisted her head or arm or something...

OMG, yes and I STILL have her!

You rotated her arm and she grew taller, thus making her waist narrower and she grew breasts. It is hilarious! Chat Icon

7259 Growing Up Skipper (1975-1977)

One of the most controversial dolls in 1975, just about every newspaper in the U.S.A. carried a story about her, some women's groups & a few parents wrote to complain, but with sales expected at 1 1/2 million, the doll must go on to market. She's 9" tall, long platinum or reddish blonde hair, curled end flip. "She's Two dolls in One" when you turn the left arm she grows a modest bust line, slimmer waist and becomes 3/4" taller. (turning the arm back again reverts to the previous shape doll). Included are a red headband, red body suit, blue collar, blue scarf, red socks, red flats, white platform shoes, two red, white plaid skirts, one short, one long.

I have her!!!! She was my FAVORITE of all my skippers. Wasnt she taken off the market because she demonstrated cruelty to women or something like that??
