    Fashionista Ken

    Just when I thought Mattel was coming to their senses by cancelling Sugar Daddy Ken, I find this.

    BARBIE FASHIONISTAS KEN Doll
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    He's not as bad as Sugar Daddy; he does seem to have some good points.

    He's got some articulation, that's a bonus.

    His clothes, while not something I'd want my nephews to wear, are not completely irredeemable.

    His face is an improvement to the frozen rictus you usually get on a Ken doll, so that's a bonus.

    But that hat has got to GO!

    As well as that choppy looking, trying-for-scruffy-and-failing-miserably haircut he's got.

                I called my wife over to look at this thread and ask her if she knew about this. She said yeah and commented:

                "And he's out."

                To which I replied;
                "Oh, yeah he's out!"

                "No, I meant, he's available for purchase!"

                "Oh."

                          Hopefully they will recall it before Christmas.

                          I would hate to think of some poor little girl getting that piece of dreck as a Christmas present.

                          I'd rather slap an Ivanhoe head onto a DocMego male body, along with some stuff from CTVT, wrap it up as a present, and give it to the kid.

                          Cuz let's face it, Ivanhoe is WAY better looking than this twit.

                              If Mattel wants to cater to the adult male fashion doll market there are far better ways to do it than putting caricatures like Earring Magic Ken, Sugar Daddy Ken and Fashionista Ken into a girls toy line. Tonner has been successful in adult fashion doll market by making high quality classy looking dolls.

                              If Mattel wants to go after that market then they need to start a new line, totally separate from the Barbie name, aim it strictly at adults and don't make dolls and names that border on parody of the market they are so obviously trying to go for.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.
