New Ken Dolls Come in All Flavors

Mattel gave Barbie a variety of body shapes, skin tones, and styles last year, and now Ken has them, too! The new Ken dolls were introduced this morning on Good Morning America.

Mattel has just rolled out a brand new line of Ken dolls — fifty years after the eponymous blond-haired, blue-eyed, perpetually tanned figures were first introduced — only now sporting three body types (regular, slender, and the delicately put “broad”), seven skin tones, and nine hairstyles. The first 10 dolls, which were unveiled on Good Morning America Tuesday morning, hit stores today — while the following five will be released in the coming months.

One of the new styles has a man bun. But no beard. My 16-year-old nephew stated clearly the other night that a man must have a beard if he is going to wear a man bun. That's a new one on me. The new selection of Ken Dolls are available in some stores now, and should roll out nationwide by July 8. See more images of the new dolls at GQ.
