Vintage 1967 Mattel Growing up Skipper Doll with original red swimsuit, red boots and red and white houndstooth wrap around skirt.

The Growing up Skipper doll, released by Mattel is a notable piece of toy history due to its unique mechanical feature:  by rotating the doll's arm, she would physically grow taller and sprout breasts, simulating puberty.

This transition made it one of the more controversial and memorable toys of the 1960's and 1970's.  

Crafted from vinyl and plastic, the doll remains a popular item for Barbie and Skipper collectors.  

Blonde hair, no bangs, blue eyes, face makeup is excellent.

No bites or chews.

I try to describe my items to the best of my ability, occasionally something may be overlooked.


There are 3 shipping picks, I try to ship as picked, but due to living 40 miles from shipping locations, I reserve the right to ship whichever works best for me.  Sometimes this costs me more than paid as with a 1 day shipping policy, I have to determine which is the best fit.

If something arrives broken, you will be required to photograph the item, packing and box.  This is a USPS rule, not mine, you will then be asked to keep the package and item in case the USPS wants to see it as this is the only way insurance can be collected from them.  Some items may be cross listed.
