Skipper was Barbie's first sister, but certainly not the last. Well, she has stuck to this day, when other siblings have come and gone. For a few years there were black Skipper dolls made, but they are all gone today. She has been blonde, redheaded or brunette through the years but today - she is just a brunette with blue, purple or pink streaks in the hair. Boring! She has grown and shrunk over the years but she is the only sister stuck to the Roberts family since the beginning.
