Skipper (Barbie)

Common card · No. 224685

Skipper Roberts is a doll created by Mattel in 1964 to be Barbie's young sister. Since 2009, she has had a purple streak in her brown hair and is shown to have a tech-savvy and clever personality. Compared to her sisters, Skipper is introverted and quiet, but also very sarcastic. In some of the Barbie films, she likes to work on her photo blog or DJing. Shes's also level headed and responsible. She had a starring role in the 2023 television film, Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure. Skipper's appearance has changed significantly since her introduction. The first Skipper doll was eight years old. She was designed as a response to requests for Barbie to have children; Mattel felt that a little sister would be a better choice instead. Skipper was later changed to a teenager, and a controversial "Growing Up Skipper" doll with growable breasts was created to demonstrate the change.
