| At the time I bought these Skipper dolls, I wanted to have an example of each change in Skipper. Barbie had so much variety that I didn't even try. Skipper had a growing up body. I missed that one. Then there was this doll. Her pensive gaze was changed to a friendly grin. Her body was almost the same, but she had a little bust, now. |

| Now, this Skipper reminded me of the Takara Barbie because of the huge eyes and womanly figure. I did not care for her costume, but she went on a really good sale. I never did de-box her. I had my son and, though I loved to look at dolls, they had to take a back seat, so to speak. |
Over later years,
I picked up examples of
these Skippers
that had been played with
and discarded --
well, donated, really.
There would be a plastic bag
with several dolls in it
for a reasonable price.
There was no question
of keeping these dolls
pristine,
they were well used,
in most cases.
So,
will Skippers from the
1980's sell in 2013?
I have started with these
two, on eBay.
We shall see.
