The Barbie Kids - A History of Skipper, Ricky, Tutti, Todd and More!

Today I go over the younger siblings of Barbie from their beginnings in the sixties and how they developed over time. #barbie #toycollection #vintagetoys #toycollector #doll #barbiedolls

Fun video! I recently visited a friend I grew up with who was only allowed to have Skipper. She pulled "Skipper" out of storage and I had to inform her that who she has is actually Scooter! 😆 My theory is that the Scooter (so ugly she's cute in my opinion!) headmold is a shrunken down version of another Mattel doll of the time - Charmin' Chatty. Google her and you'll see what I mean. I couldn't have any Barbies growing up ("Boys don't play with dolls!") but when I moved out on my own I realized that I was paying my bills and I could have whatever I wanted! 40 years later my collection is still growing.... 🤩

I’m a Skipper collector from 1964 all the way to today, but the oldest are my favorites! Great video!

Hi! Nice presentation. My sister's first "Barbie" was the Tuti doll. I always enjoyed looking at these Barbie's especially since they resembled little humans with all the accessories. Anyway thanks slot you're fun.

I love it never seen a man like you with dolls! 😍🥰you're amazing! As your question I always played with barbie and Ken as the parents to all the little kids

The kids are so fun ! A reminder to add to my collection Tutti & Todd Sunday Treat, &. of course Buffy n ' Mrs Beasley . Your segments are great in that ... they incite the excitement & obsession of collecting Vintage Barbie & her family & friends !

Thank you for these videos. I’m a new doll collector, and you’ve taught me so much. I got my first bubble cut Barbie last week, thanks to your informative content. This is so cool! ❤

My sister had a bubblecut Barbie, and I had Midge I also had Skipper, the first skipper, and later the TNT Skipper . Skipper was my favorite doll

[darrellwallace]

This was so cool and very well done!
You got it right. I'm a very devoted Barbie collector, and it's great to see new younger collectors love the vintage Barbie world as much as I do.
I'm a new subscriber, and I can't wait to see what you review next!

I loved skipper!! I never had any of the other kid dolls like tutti or Todd when I was a kid but I thought they we all super cute. Poor scooter. She was Mattels answer to for Skipper. LOVE your videos you sexy beast!! Keep up the great

[retrogirltoyz]

I appreciate the informative breakdown of the kids and teens ❤ i had no knowledge of the friend Fluff 😮 she is very cute and now I hunt for her lol ! I have a small collection of Kelly and friends and I also have A Todd doll too ! Thanks for sharing 👍

Love your videos! My parents disapproved of Barbies so I didn't have any - growing up in the UK, I had Sindy instead. But I did get a Skipper doll. I don't think my parents actually realised she was related to Barbie 😄

[katie_and_her_dolls]

I had all the dolls growing up! I was born in 2003 but I played with mostly 80s and 90s dolls that my mother passed down to me. I liked all of them but I think I usually identified with Skipper more because she was closer to my age. But as I got older I kind of switched over to Barbie and Francie.

I was nine when Anissa Jones died, the actress who played Buffy on Family Affair. So then my mom got to field the question, "what does 'OD' mean?" 😬 I had that Quick Curl Skipper and a couple of Little Kiddles as a kid.

[karenwillis]

I still have Cool Tops Skipper from 1990, Pet Pals Courtney from 1992, and Pajama Fun Nikki from 2000 in my collection. I get them for Christmas.

You had my "like" when you said you keep a mask on poor Scooter, lol. Honestly, Tutti kind of scares me, too sometimes (crazy eyes). I have a Buffy w Mrs. Beasley because she was one of my childhood faves and I think she does a super cute job repping that line. I did have Growin' Up Skipper as a kid and liked her a lot. It just seemed like a fact of life that girls grow up. And I enjoyed making her grow up and age down, like a fidget. I had a LOT of Barbies as a kid with a few Skippers. I had my sister's blond straight leg and a Malibu Skippper & Growin' Up. I like her better now than I did then. I got a gorgeous brunette Test Market SL Skipper recently that I just LOVE. For me as a kid, Skipper's value rested mostly in being Barbie's adoring audience.

it's cool to know about vintage dolls since I'm more into 90's - 2000's dolls and ahead so this is interesting! Also love your barbie tattoo omg
