My Favorite Ken^® Doll

1961 saw the first-ever Ken^® doll. The first package declared him “Barbie’s boyfriend.” At 12 inches tall, his flocked hair was available in blonde, dark brunette, and in the rare brownette, which was sold as a store exclusive. This reproduction version has brunette hair, and features Ken wearing red swim trunks, flip flops, and a yellow towel. Always ready to whisk Barbie away on a date, Ken comes with a reproduction fashion, 1964’s Victory Dance #1411 from the 1400 series of fashions. The ensemble includes crested navy blue jacket, white pants, Oxford shirt, red vest and tie, and dress shoes and socks. Three collector cards and a reproduction booklet complete this handsome giftset.
