![]() Given how Skipper eventually turned out, one would think the next logical step after the request for mother-Barbie would have been the creation of a Barbie doll where she grew bigger breasts and a pregnant belly when her arm was rotated, but that would ruin Barbie’s figure now wouldn’t it? Apparently not wanting to create “Knocked Up Barbie”, Mattel created Skipper Roberts, Barbie’s younger sister. Mattel created the original Skipper doll in 1964, in response to requests of Barbie fans wanting Barbie to have children of her own. She could return to her pre-pubescent self simply by rotating the arm back the way it was. When you rotated her arm, she grew an inch taller and her small breasts grew out of her plastic chest. It was 1975 and the doll was called “Growing Up Skipper”. Today I found out that the makers of Barbie used to sell a doll whose breasts grew when her arm rotated.
