Does he come with a trilby?
Or is that sold separately?

When they released the new more varied body types for Barbie I wondered how long it'd be before Ken got the same treatment.

Who cares, really? I doubt the age bracket that mostly plays with barbie dolls will boycott the product from now on or anything.

Hell, I didn't even know barbie dolls were still around.

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"
