Camping Fun Ken Doll for $2.00!

Hey Gang!

Sorry about Disney Month!  May was just full of problems!  I could just
continue it into June but I will just move on into what I wanted to do
for June! I will draft all Disney post for next year and hope to have three
to five a week.

So when you are in a store and the have a Ken doll like this one marked
down to $2.00 do you buy it?
 I am I crazy! Of course you do!
 I first saw him for $4.00 and meant to get him then but I got sidetracked.
So for $2.00. He was in my hand as I searched for the other things I came
into Walmart to get!
He is worth $2.00 just for the outfit!
Here is the doll out of the box! As you can guess, the packaging is in 
the can outside of the store!



Now... I already have two dolls with this face and hair sculpt and one of them has
a similar complexion. 

Jude.... who has the headsculpt


and Ramone' who has the headsculpt and complexion. The Camping Ken is darker
than the normal complexion many of the older Fashionista Ken.


He has a shirt tee shirt combo shirt that Velcros in the back. It is green and pale
green/yellow plaid and a orange print tee shirt underneath.
The shirt's combo tee has a bear on the front.
He has on green camo shorts that are made of cotton and have an elastic waist.
He has brown sneaker/boots.
He came with binoculars that are gray.
Since I already have two normal size ken dolls with the headsculpt that size, I thought
it might be good to have a slim guy that I ken have as a teen. I decide to use the body
of my Plaid on Point doll.
So I put the Camping Fun Ken's head on the slim body. Although the body is
for an AA doll the complexion fits Camping Fun Ken.
He can still wear the close but they fit him a little different.
I tried it on Ron and he looks cute in it too!
It compliments his red hair.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Fashionista Ken

Hey Gang!

I was surprised to find Preppy Florals Fashionista in my local Walmart!  He
was leftover from Black Friday!

Preppy Florals Fashionista.

I just love his face and a great smile!


Out of the box!
His shirt is better made that the one they came on my Cool Classic Ken.

Blue pants and tan boat shoes. 
The pants


These are a new version of the old deck shoes issued for ken in the Fashion
Avenue paks.
 Fashionista boot shoes and Fashion Avenue boot shoes.
 The bottom of the shoes have different details!

The arms and legs  are unevenly coated as in past fashionista.


Now I thought that his headsculpt might be a version of AA Slim
Fashionista Plaid on Point!
But not only does he have a different headsculpt, he does have a different face...slightly!
I think that Mattel must have a like for the Jamal/Steven headsculpt.
Many of the AA male doll seem to have some part of the that headsculpt in theirs.
Preppy Florals and Plaid on Point!
They have a similar smile and chin and shape of face but slightly different nose.
There were a few other new dolls there too but I was only looking for ethnic guys!
The darker version of Plaid on Point, Firefighter Ken looks closer but not the same.
 I really like the apron on the Barista Ken. Does one buy a doll just for the clothes?
Yes!
I originally thought he would be the same complexion as Super Stripes but he is a little
lighter.
They are like So In Style Grace and Kara!
 With Preppy being Grace
 and Stripes being Kara!
Like Stripes, there are imperfections on the body like with Stripes.  See my review of
him.
I had planned to purchase and extra AA broad body for a project I had in mind
but I won't need to do that now.
 Stripes, my Luther, in Preppy Floral fashions!

Because Mattel hasn't made many clothes for the Broad dolls and most of the new
Ken fashions don't really fit Broad bodies, I have decided that I really only need one Broad
doll and he will get all the broad clothes.
So decided to Preppy with Florals on a standard size AA fashionista body.

I am calling him Kamau!
 He is a high school Student.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Witch Doctor!

Hey Gang!

After purchasing Slim Fashionista #9 Plaid On Point, I felt
the head was too big for the body. So I shrunk the head to
a size I feel is more proportional to the body.

Picture from Mattel.

Comparison of my doll after his head shrinking treatment.

The neck is still the same size!  Good thing I let the head dry on the body.
I am calling him Coleman!

I purchased Hyped on Stripes and Switched his head on to an articulated body!
Picture from Mattel 
Rebodied on to a Hunter Huntsman body!

So why couldn't Mattel do this!
 Size comparison!
I am calling him Roman.
Zeke, Roman and Coleman.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
