Before GI Joe was GI Joe my sister convinced my mother to buy me a Ken for Christmas. For the next 3 years until GI Joe came out I would get Ken items for Christmas and birthdays.
Funny, my sister held onto them and only let me play with them when she had her Barbies out. That's okay, because I preferred my plastic toy solders. When she finally made to give her Barbies away (she later regretted it) I scooped my Ken out. She gave away the outfits, but I've since bought replacements.

Do You Collect Barbies?
I never thought I'd ever collect Barbie and Barbie style Fashion Dolls, but the allure of the female Superheroes is too much and I started buying Barbie when she became Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Elektra, and other superheroes (Ken as Superman).
I guess I should count the 12" scale Linda Carter Wonder Woman fashion doll as well since she doesn't really fit in with my other 12" Mego Superheroes.
Even the high end Tonner Dolls are intriguing since they started making Superhero versions.
