Vintage Skipper Dolls and Friends

Barbie got a little sister in 1964, with the introduction of vintage Skipper dolls.  Skipper was a cute preteen with a wardrobe to match her glamorous big sis.  Skipper is sometimes called Barbie Skipper because she is Barbie's little sister.  In 1965, two friends for Skipper were added.  Skooter doll and "the boy next door", Ricky doll. In 1971 Skooter was replaced by Fluff and then Tiff.

Barbie's little sister was introduced in 1964.  Many speculate it was an answer to critics who felt Barbie was too mature and "womanly" for their daughters.  Skipper was very well received and very popular.  Skipper and her subsequent friends were 9.25 inches tall, compared to Barbie's 11.5 inches.

Her original wardrobe included ten outfits that all complimented and coordinated with some of her big sister's most popular ensembles.
