In 1985 Hot Stuff Skipper was released, which had another new head mold that included the addition of dimples and a longer face. She had a new body mold which included small, permanent breasts, and a different head mold that made her look slightly older. She was advertised as "Super Teen Skipper". In 1979 Skipper's entire appearance changed. This concept was later used for Mattel's My Scene brand in 2007 with the "Growing Up Glam" line, which was also controversial. The gimmick of the doll, which led to much controversy in the newspapers, was that if Skipper's arm was rotated, the doll would become an inch taller and small breasts would appear on her rubber torso. Since their introduction in 1964, Skipper dolls have changed drastically.
As Barbie's little sister, Skipper was Barbie's first family member sold. Midge's facial appearance was gentler than Barbie's, whereas Skipper was a response to requests for Barbie to have children however, instead of having a married, pregnant Barbie, which would make her too domestic, Barbie would babysit Skipper. Skipper was created, along with Midge, to counteract criticism that claimed Barbie was a sex symbol. She was 9.25 inches in height (compared to Barbie's 11.5 inches) when she was first introduced, and then as newer versions were released, she gradually became taller with a teenage appearance. Since Skipper was introduced, the dimensions of the doll have changed significantly.
