6. Growing Up Skipper Barbie
via:www.messynessychic.com
As we all know, little girls eventually grow into young women. Mattel took this into account when they released their Growing Up Skipper Barbie version, in 1975. The doll was featured as Barbie’s little sister. What stirred a majority of the controversy among parents was the fact that pubescent Skipper’s breasts grew when her arm was rotated to represent her growing from a young girl to a teenager. Mattel pulled this doll from the shelves and reintroduced her again in 1979, with a new image which featured smaller, permanent breasts.
