Skipper Highlight Reel- Pizza Party Skipper and Friends
In 1995, Skipper received a new face mold. Drastically different from the large anime eyes of the late 80’s and early 90’s, this new mold looked more mature with a longer face and smaller features. Also getting a make over was Skipper’s best friend, Courtney. This look debuted in the Pizza Party line, which featured Skipper, Courtney and Kevin. This set was branded with the Pizza Hut logo, a popular pizza restaurant.
Each doll came with a large number of accessories, including pizza slices, pizza boxes, subs and other fun pizza themed items. These accessories came in handy when furnishing the Pizza Hut play set, also sold under the Pizza Party line.
I was lucky enough to get this set on eBay in one lot for a great price. The play set is simple, but super effective for easy, imaginative play or photography! (And because it comes in three pieces, it took less than ten minutes to put together!)
Now, here’s a closer look at the dolls in the Pizza Party line.
This is one of my favorite Courtney’s made with this face mold. Also, Skipper and Kevin look so cute together decked out in their Pizza Hut gear! This is one doll line where all the elements came together to create something fantastic.

Pizza Party Skipper was my first Skipper! Unfortunately, she met with an untimely case of decapitation so was replaced with Sparkle Beach Skipper. Last year, I got a NRFB Pizza Party Skipper on eBay. I still have my original Courtney, but now I’m eyeing off that playset! (And Kevin).

Awesome! This series seems to be on eBay a lot, so I doubt you’ll have trouble finding Kevin or the Pizza Hut!

Well, watch this space – I have far too many and am considering giving one away for World Doll Day next year – if I can bear to part with any of them 🙂
