DO NOT LEAVE IN HOT CAR!

I ordered the 60th anniversary Ken and my package was delivered as I was pulling out of my garage for an appointment so I took my package with me. I opened the box to look at him and i loved him. I went in for my meeting and when I got in the car an hour later Ken’s face was shiny and oily. It looked like his face was melting! It’s 104 degrees in West Texas. I cleaned his face with an alcohol swab and he seems fine. I hope I haven’t caused any permanent damage. Do not leave your dolls in a hot car!!!

Huge disappointment - face plasticizer leached

The anticipation my 9 year old daughter had opening her last birthday gift was instantly deflated once she saw her new 60th anniversary Ken doll’s face was shiny and she touched it and exclaimed his face was sticky. Ken appears to have a case of extreme plasticizer that has leached on the ‘skin’ of his entire head. I thought this was a problem with dolls from the mid-1980s or some vintage ‘bubble cut’ dolls of the 50s—not one the is a reproduction that is 2 years old?! I am very disappointed with this purchase. I can hardly allow my daughter to touch this defective toy that is exuding hormone-blocking chemicals from its head.

Ken

As a little girl growing in the early 1960's, I never had a Ken doll and neither did any of my friends. I had a Fashion Queen and a strawberry blond Midge (no freckles). Later I received a red haired Skipper and a Tutti doll. I always wanted a Ken doll, though, so we could have weddings and dance parties! I bought this Ken doll (twice) and he's very nice. The only negative I have to share is that I wish Mattel would have given us a blonde doll and a brunette doll from which to choose. That would have made this purchase perfect :-).

GREAT reproduction of the original Ken

As a collector, I have many original Kens. This is the first Ken, because he has the flocked hair, which went away and was replaced with painted on molded hair. Unlike so many of these other reviews, I didn't get mine for free... I put him up with my original Ken's, very impressed with the level of detail. I love the fact they used the Silkstone material, he really holds up next to the originals. Feels like high quality and I am always a fan of anything that comes in a box, not plastic. I for sure think he could still be a play toy and kids would love him.

High-quality Ken Doll!

The 60th Anniversary Ken Doll far exceeded my expectations! The genuine Silkstone body, flocked hair, and weight of this Ken doll is such high quality. My daughters and I also love Ken’s red trunks, brown sandals, and yellow terrycloth beach towel; these accessories create the perfect beach style. All in all, I would recommend this 60th Anniversary Ken Doll to any Barbie collector. I received this product for free, from the Play, Rate, & Review program in exchange for my honest opinion.
