Barbie’s beau is celebrating a major milestone! Ken turns 60 this year—and he’s looking better than ever. Even though the iconic doll has gotten makeover after makeover, Mattel recently released a new version that may look familiar to fans.
In honor of Ken’s big 6-0, Mattel is releasing 60th Anniversary Doll ($50). Available starting Mar. 11, the doll is a major throw back to the original 1961 version.
Don’t expect to see a modern version of Barbie’s beloved boyfriend with this anniversary doll. Mattel is celebrating with a reproduction of the original Ken.
The beach-ready doll features a Silkstone body, red and white cotton swim trunks, brown and red sandals and a yellow terrycloth towel. Ken’s sunshine blond locks add to the relaxed ’60s seaside look.
Along with his beachy outfit, this Ken doll also comes with a “Genuine Ken” wrist tag, doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity. Find this collectible signature Ken doll on Mattel’s website here or from other retailers nationwide, such as Target or Walmart.
