Every now and again, Mattel puts out an interesting looking Ken doll. I do agree with Cindi. I'm not a fan of the molded plastic hairdo. But if the doll looks interesting enough, I just might expand my male doll population. april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-48259453536488031672017-02-14T16:10:31.427-05:002017-02-14T16:10:31.427-05:00Hi, Vanessa!

My first doll of 2017 was Maya, the Asian Barbie Basics doll. I don't know which collection she's from, but she and my other doll Grace Kelly are both are just stunning to me. :-)Cindi Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208780900583555027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-11487953497842004342017-02-13T23:18:02.851-05:002017-02-13T23:18:02.851-05:00Congrats.

I'm not surprised that this Ken is more readily found than Hip Hop Hoodie because the latter looks more ethnic (he could be Black or Hispanic). I agree that I'll just have to wait for HHH Ken to appear online to get him. Congrats that you've got CBC Ken. I thought CBC Ken seemed less ethnic because of his features. But as you say, "what do I know?" I'm not an expert either. Shrug ;-)<br /><br />Hi, Super Cool Doll House! Mattel could have re-worked the Ricky Ricardo head mold for CBC Ken. (I missed getting Ricky Ricardo so I wouldn't mind if they had.) However, looking at the Ricky Ricardo photo on <a href="http://www.thebarbiecollection.com/barbie-loves-lucy/i-love-lucy-lucy-ricky-gift-set-t7901" rel="nofollow">Mattel’s site</a>, I doubt that they re-used the Ricky mold. The Ricky face is broader and looks older. <br /><br />Hi, Jaye! I agree that CBC Ken’s look would vary depending on where he is from. Coming from Spain, he would look European. However, if he hails from a Hispanic or Latino background, he might have a more mixed race look. <br /><br />I must get a decent camera. Must do. I'll check Miranda's site to see her photos. Thanks for mentioning her blog!D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-38563191321416988572017-02-13T07:50:49.722-05:002017-02-13T07:50:49.722-05:00D7ana, I think his Hispanic look depends on where ...D7ana, I think his Hispanic look depends on where he's from. There are people from Spain who are that fair and without strong features. I am glad Mattel put out new sculpts though. <br /><br />Yes, the photo thing is a real struggle. I need a camera like Miranda (One Sixth Avenue) has, along with some ability to take a good photo. All of her photos are so clear.

You just have to catch the right timing. I ordered mine from Mattel.com. I haven't seen him in any stores. I too got Color Blocked Cool. I thought he seemed to have Hispanic features, but I would think his skin would have been more tan if he was Hispanic. But, what do I know!
