Which Skippers Do I Have?

Postby koratheexplora » Tue Aug 26, 2014 3:35 am

I collect the old vintage body Skipper dolls but I must admit I know nothing about them. I just sort of started accumulating because I've always liked Skipper and I found these ones cute. But I don't know which Skippers they are. Can any of you help me?

All the girls.

Image
The girl I call Fifi.

Image
The girl I call Sunny

Image
The girl I call Daisy

Image
The girl I call Whitney

Any help identifying them is much appreciated.

Also any suggestions for clothing? I've found that Lonely Hearts Club and of course modern (90s mostly) skipper outfits fit but that's about all I've found.

Does Daisy in purple have fairer skin parts painted on her? Like she was wearing a bathing suit and got a tan? She reminds me of my Malibu Skipper.

Your Skippers are, left to right: Twist and Turn Skipper 1968 (it's the version with her vintage style hair do and not the sausage curls), 1985 Tropical Skipper, 1982 Sunsational Malibu Skipper and 1984 Sun Gold Malibu Skipper. I hope that's helped you in identifying them :)

Lols for my Skipper I find they can fit stuff made for Blythes and Liccas so I've casually added a fdew things from etsy and ebay to my collection lol.

She doesn't. But it appears John has identified her as Sunsational Malibu Skipper!

You're awesome! Thank you.

And that's a great idea. Blythe opens up so many possibilities.

You're welcome lol.

Also I found modern Skipper (the brunette one) clothing actually fits vintage Skipper perfectly, it's just her limbs are kind of long lol. Alas there's no fashion packs for her so yea.

Do you know if Blythe shoes fit them? Or any other shoe suggestions?
