Considering a wedding ring-less pregnant Midge doll caused controversy, I’m not sure why Mattel thought a pre-teen doll that grew boobs would fare any better. 
No, she doesn’t get acne and erratic mood swings but, by rotating her left arm, Skipper magically grows an inch taller and develops breasts just like a real human female!
In 1975, Mattel decided to release a version of Skipper that replicated puberty.
Skipper is Barbie’s lesser-known little sister. Morally irresponsible doesn’t begin to cover it. But if this toy’s point is for kids to make light of suicide then I no longer wish to live on this planet. Lassoing an imaginary horse is something I could possibly get behind, although even then the risk of accidental choking seems pretty high. Hopefully the rationale with this bejewelled rope was inspiring kids to be cowboys. This Chinese toy noose doesn’t just defy logic it pummels it, leaving it doubled-over wondering what the hell happened. Warning: choking hazard – as in, you may choke on your own rage hearing this. I know there are some progressive parents out there, but I doubt even they’d want their children enacting interspecies bestiality during playtime. The problem is that when Simba is lowered it looks a lot like Rafiki’s trying to impale him like a narwhal. So how then did the designers get this toy so wrong? This Rafiki toy actually moves, and raises the royal lion cub up just as he does in the movie. It’s a sweet moment and later reoccurs to illustrate the circle of motherfucking life. This toy is based on the Lion King scene where Rafiki holds the newborn Simba up for the entire kingdom to see.
