The 15th Dr. Who

The 15th Dr. Who was released in 2025.


I was not interested in this doll when it was released in 2025. Recently, after taking another look at his online pictures and clothes and realizing how seldom decent-looking male doll clothes are available, I decided I needed him. I found him on eBay for a reasonable (make-offer) price.

His full-length in-box picture illustrates his outfit completely.

Spreadsheet Description: 12-inch articulated Ken as the 15th Doctor Who in the BBC's Doctor Who series, portrayed by Rwandan-Scottish actor Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, has a painted black crew cut, brown-painted eyes, a black mustache, and a closed mouth. Wears an orange, blue, and rust striped shirt, royal blue pants, a brown faux leather trench coat, and white low-top tennis shoes trimmed in red around the laces and royal blue near the toe tips. Includes a doll stand and a COA.

Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the role of the 15th Dr. Who in the BBC series of the same name, is featured on the box side panel.


A full-length picture of the doll and a description of Dr. Who's role is on the back of the box.


The back of the box describes the 15th Dr. Who as fashion-forward.

His clothes did influence this purchase, but my initial plan was to redress another doll in them.  

He's been unboxed, and for now, he will keep his clothes.

I gathered all the guys in my collection that use the same head sculpt for two group pictures.




In the two pictures above, Dr. Who (far right) poses with Barbie Basics Model 17 Ken, the Texas A&M Cheerleader, and redressed Ken Looks #25; all share the New Basic Ken Sculpt. See Looks 25 in his original clothes here.

Two Kens that use the New Basic Ken sculpt are missing from my collection, and they will remain missing.

Fashion Doll Tees by Nise's Designs

As a December 2019 gift, I received my first graphic, off-shoulder blouse from Nise's Designs. It is made of flannel, and I made a no-sew felt skirt for the doll chosen to wear it.

Last year I ordered more doll T-shirts from Nise's Designs, including Black Santa tees for gifts.

These two graphic T-shirts by Nise's Designs arrived recently.


My last two tees, shown above, prompted this post. Each T-shirt was separately packaged in a resealable bag.

Nise's Designs contact sticker was on each resealable bag.


The back of each bag included Nise's contact information sticker, which indicates she also creates custom designs.

Paired with MiniBrands silver sneakers, Barbie Looks Model #2 (Elle #1) modeled one of the shirts.


Barbie Looks Model 14 (Elle #2) modeled the second T-shirt. She also wears a pair of MiniBrands sneakers and carries a dark pink MiniBrands shoulder bag.

The MiniBrands shoulder bag is shaped like a boombox and has several mock compartments.

Next, I gathered all dolls (except the Shani-faced doll) that wear a Nise's Design graphic tops for a group photo. 


They wear them well.


This is a close-up of the T-shirts and blouse.

Visit Nise's Designs website to see these T-shirts and her other offerings.
