>>8677834>What's something you'd love to see in doll form?I've mentioned this before, but i think it bears repeating. I'd like to see a Ken doll line aimed at boys, sort of like GI Joe's Adventure team days. Nothing overtly militaristic or violent, Just Ken going on manly adventures. Sea diving for treasure, finding lost tombs, fighting gorillas in the jungle.That kind of stuff. I know Mattel's Max Steele is sort of like that, but Max hasn't been on the shelves for ages and only Latin America was big on Steele.
Keep the Ken line at 5poa with simple cloth outfits like the Barbie mainline. We're aiming for little boys who tend to like those cheap 12" figures that are so prevalent these days. The only real changes to Ken would be that his hands could actually grip things and a stern face sculpt that doesn't make him out like pussy as most Ken dolls do. A fun idea is to have Barbie & Ken's yearly themes cross promote one another. Like, when Barbie visits Japan, Ken's kung-fu fighting a ninja clan. Barbie camps out in the national forest, Ken is smoke jumping to fight a forest fire.
Just a fun thought. I always wanted a Ken line like this when I was growing up. I wasn't born yet to enjoy the 12" AT Joes in the mid 70's, and I was too old for the Max Steel in the early 2000's
