Dolls have come a long way since I was a kid! This Ken doll is a beautiful dark brown that’s a fairly good representation of Black skin, with lots of articulation and a very muscular sculpt. His clothes actually have stitching details and are well made, though the outfit’s not to my personal taste. I mostly got him because I loved his rooted hair and the handsome face mold and paint job. His hair is lovely and soft, and I cannot stress how lovely his features are in person. There ARE two small injection mold marks on the front of his biceps that I wish had been smoothed, but he’ll eventually go in some vintage Ken clothes so I don’t mind.
He’s definitely worth the price point, and I love that he came with a doll stand to help him stay in some fun action poses!
5 STARS [out of five]! So happy with this purchase! As an avid doll collector, I LOVE this new addition to the Barbie Signature Looks series. The skin tone matches Barbie Signature Looks #4 doll [and other recent & similar toned Ken dolls], so this expands the options for custom & OOAK doll artists. The only caveat is that the hair *reroot* is not consistent. I’ve purchased three and some dolls have more hair [as in a fuller, curly fro] than others. Some hair seems more matted/flat [before deboxing] and messy. Not a major complaint, just noting subtle differences among the dolls, as there can be some variation from the factory. Happy to note that the doll that I unboxed had stiff joints [and not looser leg joints similar to some from the Signature Looks #4 that I received during that doll’s inaugural release.] Overall, well made & well worth the opening price! If you’re interested, purchase it while still in stock and at a Mattel retail [and reasonable] price. Secondary vendors [on competing sites, etc.] are already listing Ken #25 at [sometimes] double & three times the price. Ken Signature Looks #25 is a great Ken doll investment to add to your collection. Will be purchasing more for my doll enthusiasts!
