Skipper - Clone, Competitors & Look a Likes, - Dolls ca. 1960's

Barbie the star of the Mattel line had many, many clone dolls that jumped on the bandwagon to make a similar doll at a lesser cost.  Her sister Skipper was also copied, is not as commonly found as her big sister, which only makes her more alluring, as she only surfaces on occasion, and is difficult to identify, as there are fewer resources to help.  Here's some Skipper clones we have found.

ca. 1960's Myra by Marx, 9 1/4' tall, was the sister to Marlene, short rooted hair with bangs, painted facial features, all vinyl.

ca. 1960's Miss Kitty, 9 1/4" tall, by Cragstan, looks just like Mattel's Skipper but has freckles on her face like her friend Skooter.  Came wearing a red and white striped swimsuit similar to Skipper's but see for yourself.  Miss Kitty is marked:  Hong Kong.
