Teen Time Skipper

     In 1964, the Roberts family was blessed with another daughter. Barbie's younger sister, Skipper, made her debut then and has gone through just about as many changes as her older sister! She has gone from a little girl to a SuperTeen (more on her later) to a younger teen to a 16 year old (more on her later) to currently, a younger teen again. 
     This post is about one of the younger teen Skippers from 1988, Teen Time Skipper and her friend Courtney, as well as a playset for the two of them, the Sleep and Study playset. I believe, and I could definitely be wrong here, but I believe this is the first time Courtney was introduced. 
      The girls came with accessories for both school and a sleepover, which is one of the best things about these dolls. The skirts of their outfits were pulled up to create nighties for them and they came with fluffy slippers for their sleepover party. Each girl also came with punchouts for school and sleepover. 
       The playset is just awesome! It has so many things to customize the looks each time you put it together. Each piece can also fit inside the bed, which snaps to the walls so it can be carried. It can be a bedroom on one side and a study area on the other. The walls allow for items to be hung on them, so you can move them around and create the look you want. 
      
As you can see, her leg is spotty. 



Her accessories - she also came with a phone, a soda and a popcorn box. I've misplaced those items.
 
Courtney - the glasses are adorable! She also has spotty legs
     
Her punchout accessories - two slices of pizza can be removed


Her accessories - I love the "clipboard" front of her box


The study room

The sleepover side - the slippers are adorable, but don't like to stay on their feet

The rest of the accessories - the mirror is the back of the chalkboard

Almost everything is tucked in the bed. Those pieces on the walls are securely on it, so I didn't take them off. 
     This set is just too cute! I do recommend it for others, even though the dolls' legs are breaking down, which is a fairly common problem for dolls made during the late 90s. Still, these are some of my favorite dolls!
