Summary
A plastic 'Great Shape' Skipper doll, Barbie's little sister, with her original box (circa 1984). She has moulded and painted facial features, blue eyes and blue eye shadow, and long, dark blonde, wavy nylon hair, with a fringe. She is jointed at the shoulder and hip and swivels at the neck and waist. She has slightly bent arms. She is wearing pink and blue striped tights. Also in the box are three plastic trainers, two red and one pink. Possibly the pink one belongs to this set as the photo on the box shows pink ones. There is also a turquoise nylon bag with dark pink handles and an invitation to join the Barbie fan club. The box is made from a single piece of folded, colour-printed cardboard which is decorated with photos of the doll doing exercises and has a window made from clear plastic. Total number of items is 7.
