Welcome

I've just started this brand new blog September 22 2014 as a comprehensive list of toys that are either dangerous or disturbing. Consider it a safety warning to take these toys away from your Children, or just be ghoulish and read through to see how you could have injured yourself mentally or physically as a Child. Please be patient as I add entries, this will be ongoing. Thanks so much for coming by!

Growing Up Skipper






What Is This?

In the 1975 Mattel decided it would be a good idea to have Barbie's Kid sister Skipper advance a little in age.

What Happened?

Well the controversy was that this doll starts out as a young girl...then you crank her arm and she gets taller...and grows bigger breasts...and claims to be twice as much fun.

Aftermath?

No consequences, only remodelled Skipper doll by 1979 and the figure has continually changed over the years.
