New Outfits for Ken - Poor Ken!
Please look at this small selection of new Ken fashions. If you were Ken, what would you do? My guys are weeping. Openly.
The colors ... turquoise and heather gray? The last time at least the colors were bright. Sigh ... poor Ken, dressed by three year olds.
That's pretty sad. But Ken being a guy, is probably like..."Hey, I got a tux, a sweat suit, a t-shirt and shorts plus the outfit I come in...I'm good for a week." LOL. As for Barbie, I don't think she's too happy about. :)
I left the tux behind but I grabbed the other clothes. Ken doesn't get as much attention so a couple of the outfits screamed almost normal. I can mix & match them with all the other clothes I have for my guys.
Thanks for reading and complimenting my blog, Lucie! And I have to check the accessories with the glam set.
Jarrette, that's a good take. I hadn't thought that Ken would just shrug it off. Clean clothes covering his body ... enough. Good enough. I'll have to check among my fellows. Most of the Barbies here sigh deep sighs. Then they turn to online catalogs for male action figures, lol.

You're right, its kind of a shame, really. But the glam set has some nice minis.
Love your blog, by the way. ^_^

I agree. It's pretty sad. But, I imagine they think 3 yr olds are playing with Ken, not us mature women. LOL.
if I have no other choice I can wear the stripe shirt. I like blue but turquoise is not my fave shade.

Oh, that's right, Vanessa. I'm forgetting Mattel's original audience. Touche ;-D
Hi Niel! Yes, the striped shirt is okay. But turquoise ....
And Dollz4moi, that's generous of you. Mix and match will save the day for many a Ken outfit.
Compared to the bright orange and hot pink clothes that you posted a while back, I think this is an improvement (if a little on the bland side).
Hi Kim! Yes, these are a little better than the last ones. Especially the pink tuxedo in satin. Cheap, cheep, cheep lol.
