2024 The Looks AA Ken #25!

 Hey Gang!

I just received my The Looks AA Ken 2024 yesterday! 

Promo Photo
He is my photo!
He wears a neon yellow shirt with periwinkle pants and silver low-top boots.
I was hoping for a new complexion.  I was hoping for something closer to the 80's Steve's complexion. I have a lot of males that have that complexion that needs articulated bodies.
Close-up!
He has a new broad body.
#25 compared to #4!
As you can see, it is an easy head swap!
He also works well with Fashionista #130.
And with Fashionista #153 who was originally on a broad body.
I feel like myself but better!
OK, let's have a little fun and try some non-Mattel heads.

AA Avon Groom male
The 2024 Looks AA Ken is not a new head sculpt! It has been used at least three other times.

Texas A&M AA Cheerleader Ken

OK, Thanks For Looking!

New AA Cheerleader Texas A &M Ken

Hey Gang,

So, I wanted to post my new doll sooner.  I wanted to show him in my last post.
But yet again, I lost the charger for my camera.  You would have thought that I
would have learned my lesson by now.  Put the charger where you can find it!
No, I spend several days trying to find it and wondering if I will have to order another.

Any way, I open the box and took him out.  I knew right away that I made a mistake!
 Face close-up!

I should have purchased more of them.  I only hope that they get more in stock!
I could feel myself smiling as I looked at him.  He was just what I wanted.  I
haven't torn into a guy that way in a long time  Oh yes, your packaging must come off!
I took him from is packaging.

Great face!  I have learned with my last purchase from Barbie.com to look at the
 item closely.  There were some clothing problems with my Jean Basics AA Ken.  
I learned later from Vanessa of  Van's Doll Treasures that I could have gotten a 
credit or something for that.



He has the same articulated body as the Harley Ken and the
Johnny Depp doll.  I just realized that I never posted about it when I
purchased my Harley Ken doll!  So let check out the outfit!

 He has great detail on the shirt.  Lots stitching that make the shirt look
expensive.  The ATM that would normally be an iron on but in this case, it is not.
It also has elastic on the bottom to keep it from rising up. when he sits.

The pants are well made with real pockets and a belt.  The pants don't 
have that tight fit that many of the fashionista male pants do.
The sneaker are cute too.

   I they they look like the type that Remi would wear.
Oh, and he does look good from behind!

Next let's check him out compared to Barbie basic #17!
If you are not familiar with Barbie Basic Ken #17 you can view my 
older post.  I waited a long time for # 17 and I am glad I got this one so 
soon.

So here is the two dolls side by side!
You can see that Brandon( #17) is still feel nervous  about his place around here.  
His head is tilted to the side.


Black doll Collecting  posted pictures from one of her doll friends, 
Cynthia, not so long ago.  I checked back to her post to note what she said.  
I find that even with the same doll,some things are different.  Especially when you 
have foreign manufacturers. Both Debbie and Cynthia note that on the dolls 
Cynthia had, the head of the new doll was wider,  the top lip seemed fuller 
and the hair was darker.  In my comparison it was different.


I think the hair line on my Texas A&M is higher  The hair color is about 
the same and the lips have a shine to them.  The eyeliner is more defined.  For me
the most notable difference is that the complexions are a little different.  A&M is a 
little darker.  Not by much but a little. I noticed it in the body too!


It is not so much of a difference that a head swap is out of the question.  It is very subtle. 
Heads Only!

Alright it is time for the money shots!
Warning!! Nude dolls ahead!

Ms. Leo:  Fellows, as dolls here you will sometimes take nude photos.  It is for educational purposes. 
They are trying to to look at each other!  
Ms. Leo:  You will note the difference in body color.
 Ms. Leo:  Ok, that is a little more natural pose fellows.
 Ms. Leo:  I don't know what is going on in this shot but it makes a good comparison shot.
 The hip joints are different. I makes him look good in pants.
Ms. Leo:  Behinds from behind!
 The neck knobs are a different color too!
 Brandon waves goodbye to his old body.  Brandon: Thanks man! Now TAM
Ken is nervous.  He thinks he might end up on the dollpage.  He maybe right.

Ms. Leo:  Hey, where do you think your gonging?
Brandon: I going to find Khadijah!
Ms. Leo: But  we aren't finished with comparisons!  We still have other dolls to compare you to!
Brandon:  That will have to be for next time.
Ms. Leo: Oh, so you get a new body and you get new on me huh?
Brandon: I'll be back. Don't worry!
Ms. Leo:  Now I'm nervous.

OK, until next time!

Thanks For Looking!

My New Texas A&M AA Cheerleader Doll Arrived In The Mail!

Hey Gang!

Today my new Texas A&M AA Cheerleader dolls arrived in the mail.  I came home
to find this going on in my hallway......
 Khadijah:  Are you nervous?  
Brandon:  Yes!
Khadijah:  Don't be nervous!  It happened to me and I am better
 for it. I'm here to support you!
Fatimah:   And I am here to support both of you!  It happened to me too!  
I had one of those MM bodies like you Brandon and I'm just fine!
 Khadijah:  So why are you here?  
Artsy:  I have heard a lot about these head swaps but have never seen one.
Fatimah:  Don't worry about her.  She probably just a donor.  
She won't be here too long!
Artsy:   Hey, I heard that.  My head isn't all that big and I got great face paint.  
I might stick around.
 Artsy:  You don't look all that different from me and you're here! 
 Khadijah:  So, why are you here?
Ghana Barbie:  This is my furniture you all are sitting on.  I am here to make sure
it goes back in the upstairs hallway when you are done.
 Fashionista Ryan: Am I too late?

Fahionista Ryan:  Is this... him?
 Fashionista Ryan:  I am to be a comparison body to him.  I am dying to see him and what he can do!

 Brandon:  Now I am getting really nervous! 
Khadijah:  Why?
 Brandon:  What if Ms. Leo doesn't give me the new body.  What if 
my complexion is wrong or something?  What if his head is better than mine?
I could get sold and I would never see you again!
 Khadijah: Ms. Leo wouldn't do that. right Ms. Leo?

Ms. Leo: Ah, ...oh,   Well, I can't make any promises but it is my 
plan to re-body him.
 Elsa: Hey,hey, hey!  I heard that there are cute guys around.
Elsa: Oh, your cute!
Khadijah:   Look Miss, this is my boyfriend's re-boding.  
He's got a girlfriend....me!
Elsa:  Hey, nothing around here is written in stone.  You're one person's love 
interest today and somebody else's tomorrow!  You got to fight to be here!
 Fatimah: Don't worry sis!  I take care of her! Is it a fight you want?
Bea: Am I  too late?  Is he here?
Artsy:  Now this looks interesting! He, he. Where is the popcorn!
Bea: I heard that the new Cheerleader AA Ken had arrived!

 Khadijah:  Now I am worried!
Elsa:  Do you have a girlfriend?   
Fashionista Ryan: I am only seventeen!
