Hey Gang!
Since Mattel released the Broad Superman(2016) and followed it up with the Broad Ken doll(2017), Albus Dumbledore(2018), and Hagrid(2020), big guys are making their way into doll collections. Many people are willing to pay big money for the Broad Merman doll. He is on my wish list!
I've seen many posts with photos of Looks Ken # 18. So I think some version of the big guy is here to stay!
In the beginning, many people rebodied the broad Ken's head onto regular-size Ken bodies for articulation and more clothing options. With the articulation of Dumbledore's body, those dolls that matched his complexion received Dumbledore's body.
This is my Zhang! He is a Fashionista Ken #115 on Dumbledore's body! Other dolls may have gotten the new The Looks Ken # 18 guy body.
So the articulation for big guys is not as much of an issue. I can't wait to see an articulated AA broad body!
When it comes to clothing, many are finding that they can use those 80's Ken clothes on their broad Ken dolls. Hersey in some of my 80s Ken clothes.
Example
There are now Etsy shops that have a large (no pun intended) selection of Hagrid and broad Ken doll clothes and are willing to do custom orders for your dolls. I asked OlhaDollsFashion to make my Hagrid a Kilt and she did! (2021)
She got tons of orders for the kilt after making mine! DollsViewPoint has a good selection for big guys like Hagrid. Here is Hagrid(my Sean) in his robe and bottoms...
but DollsViewPoint has things for Big and Beautiful Dasia and Curvy Barbies too!
While the broad Ken, Dumbledore, and Hadrid are on the medium end big guys, Encantro Felix, Maui, and Mr. Increable are on the larger end of the big body dolls.
I will post about those big guys at a later time. This post is on male dolls shorter than the standard-size Ken doll with a stocky body(11 inches).
Drew Carey Doll
Some refer to him as an action figure and others as a doll. I think he is a doll.
back of box
He is described as a single everyday Cleveland guy struggling to stay financially and romantically afloat.
Out of the box!
He wears a blue suit.
Coffee cup...
and briefcase
With the jacket off you can see that his shirt and pants are one piece.
Velcro in the back.
The collar has that old-school Mattel feel also. It is made of flannel.
Drew: Ms. Leo, I'm unsure I'm ready to reveal myself! Can I borrow these shorts to wear?
Ms. Leo: No, those are Hagrid's shorts. They are too long on you!
He comes with socks and shoes.
Most dolls that have glasses art attached. If they are attached, there is only one hole on each side of the head to attach the glasses. This doll has two.
Warning Nude Dolls!

Lammily Male Doll-Animal Rescuer
Promo photo from the website.
One reason I got these two is I think they can share clothes.
Out of their boxes!
I have heard one blogger say that this doll was as ugly as a mud fence! I am sure that is a Southern expression. I don't think they were trying to make him as pretty as Ken. I think he has a common look. There are those types of people in the world too!
He comes with a plaid shirt.

Jean Shorts and brow mockains
From the back, you can see that the shorts have pockets and there are slits in the back of the shoes.
He is supposed to look like the average guy. The box reads: Lammily male doll is created according to the proportions of
the average 19-year-old man. So I guess that means the average 19 year man has a long torso with short legs? The box also reads: He may not have a six-pack, but he has a fantastic sense of
humor." Now where have we heard that before. What does he look like?
He will be our vet, Dr. Reed.
Back-no real but!

Side by side!
Drew's feet are smaller than the Lammily doll's feet.
As compared to Ken Doll
Drew's feet are smaller than Ken's.
Lammily male doll's fee are larger than Ken doll's is. So he can't wear Ken doll's shoes.
Lammily male's feet are closer to GI Joe's feet.
Even though the bodies are different shapes, they can share clothes but not shoes.

I got this outfit that was made for Lammily male but Drew can wear it too!
OK, Thanks For Looking!
