The First Skipper DollSkipper Roberts was introduced by Mattel in 1964. She was made to be a little girl, about 10 years old. She was 9.25'' tall, had blues eyes, long hair (
Blonde, brunette or redheaded) with bangs, flat chested, straight legs with no bend at the knees. She was made of soft
vinyl for the head and hard vinyl for the body. She's referred today, by collectors, as "Straight Leg Skipper".
