Mattel Barbie Totally Yo-Yo Skipper, version 1, that came out in 1998. This version did not come with an actual, full size yo-yo. However, Mattel corrected that oversight by releasing a version 2 of the same doll that included a ProYo-type yo-yo. The up and down motion of the tiny yo-yo in Skipper's right hand was made by pushing a lever up and down on the doll's back. Also came with an extra outfit and other accessories.

This yo-yo-based product line, which included three different dolls, was one of the very few yo-yo-related items that came out during the yo-yo boom of the late 20th century marketed specifically to younger girls.

Original retail price: $8 US.
