Mattel gives Ken new body types.

This strategy must be working, because they reported that sales for Barbie herself went up 7% when they did a similar thing to this to her a while back, so yeah, people must like this...

But could that be attributed mostly to collectors/completists purchasing all the various variations?

7 percent is far too large of an increase for just adult collectors. It would have to be kids buying them.

New Kens are cute, but GI Joe will still get the girl!

I'm sure that played a part in it, but I'd tend to agree with Werewolf...

[Mikey]

As a former and current fat kid i'd like to know where's the fat kid Ken ?

Especially the Adventure Team guys.

These new body styles don't seem to be empowering men past the age of 25. I'm not seeing any spare tires or manbellies. Not to mention, the heads look a bit too large.
