![]() #9022 has a hamburger, brush and comb while #9023 came with a cardboard mirror and red ball. Growing Up Skipper fashions came with accessories, but not shoes. Their hip joint seems to be a standard Skipper joint, but perhaps it would have made them too expensive. I would have loved for them to have bendable legs, and I’m not sure why they don’t have them. ![]() The arms and legs of these dolls are made from a hard, shiny, unbending plastic. The vinyl also extends up the neck and can give the appearance of a bulge at the neck, or look a bit like a goitre. As a consequence of the soft vinyl upper torso, the heads of these dolls are slightly smaller and harder than other Skipper dolls. Turning the arm clockwise moved the mechanism back again, shortening the torso and flattening the vinyl, although in played with dolls, sometimes the vinyl does retain the shape slightly. It also moved the upper torso about a centimetre up the lower torso, making the doll taller. Twisting the doll’s arm counter clockwise forced the breast shaped mechanism forward, stretching the vinyl and effectively giving the doll breasts. The upper torso of these dolls is a soft vinyl, covering a white plastic mechanism. The vinyl covering the neck can bulge a little bit. ![]() Growing Up Skipper in little girl size and teenage size, with her elongated torso. Mum had to slice open her side to get her working again, which left her damaged (and I’m now thinking maybe I should try and glue her together again), but also meant I got glimpse of how she worked. At some point though, her mechanism became stuck and she needed surgery. She was basically two dolls in one, and I loved her. She had a short turquoise and white polka dot skirt, pink socks, flat turquoise shoes and pink collar to wear as a cute little girl, and a long turquoise polka dot skirt, pink scarf and white sandals to wear as a tall curvy teenager (so said the box). She came wearing a blue bodysuit with an elastic gusset, which allowed it to stretch when she grew to her teenage size. Ginger uses the Skipper head mould, but with brown eyes and brown hair. And to be honest, I’m still not entirely sure I see the need for the outrage. A doll in between Barbie and Skipper that enhanced my play possibilities. I just loved having a doll that could be Skipper sized, or with the twist of an arm, a little bit older than Skipper. It seems these dolls caused some controversy, with some parents and feminist groups taking offence, to the extent it made the papers. Putting the flat shoes on over the socks will cause the shoes to split.
