Thumbs up or thumbs down on this Ken doll?
November 3rd, 2009, 1:59 pm · 25 Comments · posted by Theresa Walker, Editor
So Mattel is toying around with this sun-tanned, pooch-toting concept for Barbie’s lesser half, Ken.
Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken. Take a look at him below.
If you were Barbie, would you want this man in your life?
Maybe it’s just me, but he’s a little bit too pretty. Not sure Barbie needs any more competition than she already got from Bratz dolls.

If Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken moved in next door ...

Are they reinventing Ken as Barbie’s fabulous BFF?
This looks like some of the guys I was friends with in high school/college that I used to go shopping with, but had no interest in dating… girls.
Or a throwback to a QEFTSG makeover.
Just sayin’ is all.
I love him! He’s way more interesting than the old Ken.
He’s beautiful. The world needs him, and so does Barbie.
he’s very metro-sexual. which I guess is rather normal these days? I dunno. reminds me of that Brad Paisley song — “I’m Still A Guy” : These days there’s dudes gettin’ facials, manicured, waxed and botoxed. / With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands you can’t grip a tackle box. / Yeah, with all of these men linin’ up to get neutered it’s hip now to be feminized./ I don’t highlight my hair, I’ve still got a pair.Yeah, honey I’m still a guy.
He is a pimp!
I think they should sell Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken in a package with his “friend” Construction Worker Ken, cos that’s what he looks like to me.
martha, I agree.
He’s cheesey and very metro. He’s part retired Florida senior citizen, part gay and proud, and part dork. Guess they couldn’t decide on a look so the went with a combo. Hope they give Barbie some pepper spray.
If he had a mole on his cheek I’d say he was a dead ringer for George Hamilton.
Good call! George Hamilton was rocking the metro look way before it was cool.
Does that make this look Retro Metro?
It could be a new anthem: Retro Metro Man, I want to be a retro man ….
I love George Hamilton!
Mattel can toy around all they want, but I doubt this Ken has a chance. He’s not exactly what you’d call a little girls ‘fantasy’ guy. LOL
It would be meant more for collectors.
But he’s NOT for kids!!!!! That’s want I don’t get? He’s for ADULT COLLECTORS and we should be able to choose who we want to buy!
That is not a Sugar Daddy… That’s Ryan Seachrist..
Good call, Liz!
Looks like a doll right out of the Team America Movie.
I thought we voted down gay marriage in 31 states?
Why would he have to be gay? He looks like a guy from Florida! The name is a little ‘iffy’ but the doll is wonderful!
Clearly this Ken has no interest in Barbie, so no problem! Alan better watch out, though.
one word: nahhhhhhhh
he is absolutely perfect, just what us male doll collectors love, and his dog is great, the dogs name is sugar. I know because thats one of the yorkies i didn’t get in a barbie set. he is just perfect, don’t change a thing. I am ready to preorder this one and add him to my over 200 doll collection.
Wow! 200 dolls. Are they all from Barbie line? That’s quite a collection. I can see why you would want to add this one, too.
If with you Jeff… the voice of reason!
