| Ken #203 |
Ken #203 arrived the day after I ordered him from
Amazon. His Excel spreadsheet description entry is copied below followed by additional photos.
12-inch ebony-complexioned Ken has sculpted twisted hair, light-brown painted eyes, a broad nose, and full closed-mouth, dark-painted lips. Dressed in an orange jersey with an orange, white, and royal blue Chevron design on the front and the letter K on the left front with blue denim-patterned knee-length pants, and white low-top sneakers. Presented in a plastic pink zippered package.

| Ken #203 is featured on the back of the package insert along with the other dolls in this release. |

| He is a very handsome doll. |
I was asked if the sculpted hair can be removed. It appears that it’s just a “hair hat,” which isn’t attached to his face. So, yes, I believe it can be removed.

| Unfortunately, the articulation is limited to the usual five areas (the neck, shoulders, and where the legs join the body). |

| Ken #203 has a deeper complexion than Looks Ken #4. |

| A full-length complexion comparison between #203 and Looks Ken #4 (Jon) better illustrates their complexion difference. |

| Kendrick and Robyn are complexion matches. |

| In this collection, they are siblings. |
If he were articulated with synthetic hair, Kendrick would be perfect!

Thanks for you post and your photos! This answered so many questions for me but I still have a few. Is he on a normal or slim body? Is the face basically Fashionista Ken #130?Does the head have a new sculp number/year since the hair is different than Fashionista Ken #130?
ReplyDeleteSo he is a new Ken complexion? Mattel's Prince-ish attitude about offering articulated bodies is tiring. I had someone asking me about body matches for some of the older Steven/Ken dolls. Mattel still hasn't really done an articulated body for those dolls.
You're welcome, Ms. Leo.
ReplyDeleteIs he on a normal or slim body? Normal.
Is the face basically Fashionista Ken #130? No, it is not.
Does the head have a new sculp number/year since the hair is different than Fashionista Ken #130? This doll has a new head sculpt. He is not Fashionista #130. His nose is fuller and the lips are shaped differently than Fashionista #130. His head is marked ©2022Mattel.
So he is a new Ken complexion? I haven't seen another Ken-size doll with this complexion. So, I would say it is new for this size doll. I added a comparison photo of this doll and Robyn from the Barbie Dolls in the City Kiosk set. I believe Jackson and Jayla also have this complexion and possibly two of the Kelly-size dolls.
